Feeling incredibly grateful to be presenting at such an important conference in the same city where I completed my master's degree. This is where I used to dream about doing the kind of work I have the privilege to do today @isbe2026.bsky.social

Paper alert! 🦎 Can lizards count? How does early-environment affect their quantity discrimination abilities? We investigated these questions. New paper w/ @danielwanoble.bsky.social @cpictus.bsky.social [link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s…]

New paper alert! 🦜 We gave wild cockatoos puzzle boxes across Canberra’s urban gradient. The finding? Urban birds approach faster, but are not better solvers. Our results suggest that urbanization shapes neophobia independently from cognitive performance. Read it here: doi.org/10.1093/behe...

Cities are challenging places for wildlife, but some species, like sulfur-crested cockatoos, adapt by finding new ways to feed and solve problems. We studi

A new study shows how the handling of small ectotherms 🐸 can impact recordings of their body temperatures 🌡️. A modified Foerster forcep may help reduce heat transfer during handling & provide more accurate measurements of body temperature. doi.org/10.1016/j.jt...

📢 City lizards are more social ! Thrilled to share the first paper from my PhD, out now in #BiologyLetters @royalsocietypublishing.org ! We show that urban lizards are more social than their non-urban counterparts 🦎🏙️🌳🧪 doi.org/10.1098/rsbl... @behavecobie.bsky.social

Heat or stress hormones experienced in early life often impair cognition. A study @jexpbiol.bsky.social shows that spatial learning is unaffected in lizards when the eggs experienced such stressors. 🦎🥚 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/... @pablorecio93.bsky.social @danielwanoble.bsky.social
