Paper now out in @MethodsEcolEvol!! Looking forward to seeing how the community applies this method.
Since the preprint, I updated the documentation and even made a video tutorial. Do check it out!

If you study it, you must have put a ring on it. @AlexHHChan offers one of the most comprehensive datasets till date to solve the problem of reliable long term monitoring in birds. If YOU are into "REAL WORLD" AI / Wildlife / Bird monitoring - This is your JAM. #CVPR #Highlight

To study emotions in free-ranging #animals, researchers rely on what they see: but inferring #emotions from #behavior is not enough! Our new preprint discusses how #technology could help us better understand animal affect under naturalistic conditions

Chimento et al., develop a 3D Synchronized Outdoor Camera System (3D-SOCS): an inexpensive, mobile and automated method for collecting behavioural data on animals using synchronized video frames from Raspberry Pi controlled cameras 📸

Hot off the press 📢: one of the most surprising and unsettling findings of my PhD. A novel social tradition emerged in the tool-using capuchins of Jicarón island… abducting and carrying the infants of another species. Thread with gifs, videos, and all the bizarre details 👇

Humans have many unusual traditions. But did you know animals’ strange behaviors can become culture too? Out now in Current Biology (doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2025.0…) we document a bizarre tradition: interspecies infant abduction. Interactive timeline (ab.mpg.de/671374) 🧵(1/12)
