Since 2013, researcher Mohammed Abu Daya has monitored fisheries' impacts on spinetail devil rays in Gaza. Operating from a displacement camp with limited resources, his ongoing work underscores the extreme conditions under which frontline marine data is being gathered. A interview by Lyse Mauvais.

He highlighted the importance of observing subtle changes in behavior, such as feather postures, and documented how slight changes in posture, feather erection, and gesture could have large, but non-obvious, communicative effects. Also, my favorite illustrative figures are from this paper.

Horrible, and yet another example of free speech fans found wanting when it comes to certain issues.

out now in Science: @loganjames.bsky.social collected pairs of sounds in 16 species where we *know* which sound is more attractive (to that species) he played them to ppl on themusiclab.org, asking, in each pair, which was nicer. humans agreed w other animals doi.org/10.1126/science.aea1202

Furthermore, we foundgreatest agreement in preference for adorned, ancestral, andlower-frequency sounds. humans’ music listening experiencewas associated with preferences. These results are consistentwith theories arguing that biases in processing sculpt acousticpreferences, and they confirm Darwin’s century-old hunchabout the conservation of aesthetics in nature

Sifting through Animal Behavior Society newsletters and came across a castigation of the field made by Dutch ethologist Adriaan Kortlandt in 1990. He states, "Ethology is supposed to be the study of behaviour, but the behaviour has become invisible." He also used to fight goats during lectures.

Some bird art I made and liked in 2025.

A black rumped flameback who spent time outside my parents’ house in Coimbatore.

A bookmark with some surreal themes and a little barn swallow.

An Indian grey hornbill. They were everywhere in Delhi, much to my delight.

A woman watching a bee eater. She missed her bus looking at the bird. Relatable.

A small but concrete task for today: Sameer Project told us on 12/25 that it costs $38 for 1 blanket, which can help keep a family that is in their 3rd winter in genocide (😢) warm. Can anyone join us today in donating the cost of one blanket to Sameer? Can you get 1 other person to join you?

The drumstick tree outside my parents’ place gets many visitors (sunbirds, flowerpeckers, babblers, mynas, a tailorbird, bush chats, parakeets, bee eaters and the resident peacock who has a long-running feud with my father), but this is the first time I spotted a Flameback woodpecker.

I got to watch a sage grouse lek recently, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my time in this country. I’m sure it would have been more dramatic during peak breeding season, but I quite enjoyed observing the less escalated interactions.
