Excited to share our new paper on infanticide in sociable weavers using 12 years of data! 🎉🐣 We found no evidence that infanticide provides direct reproductive benefits. Instead, our results suggest it may be driven by social competition. Read more here: peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10....

Very proud to share the cool methodological development led by Liliana Silva that greatly facilitates video-based behaviour analyses! 🙌 Tested on sociable weavers, blue and great tits! Great performance and 8x faster than manual analyses! 🤩 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The BBC #Parenthood series joined us in Benfontein to film infanticide in sociable weavers for Ep. 3: Grassland🪺 It shows how complex (and sometimes brutal) parenthood can be! Huge thanks to everyone involved for capturing incredible footage and sharing these stories🎉 www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...
