Reposted by Behavioural Ecology BielefeldAne Liv @anelivb.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Have you considered whether animals differ in their perception of density? We explored how differences in our senses, interpretation and past experiences shapes density perception, causing behavioral differences and affecting fitness outcomes. 🧪 nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 03913

She’ll be presenting data on how individuals respond to chemical cues of family members, and how being related to the scent donour might change their response. She’ll be sharing with us insights from both the lab and the wild!🥼 🏕️ 0226
