Humans are not the only animals that change their social lives as they age; female red deer and house sparrows become less sociable as they get older. A new special issue of @RSocPublishing #PhilTransB looks at ageing and society across the natural world: theguardian.com/science/2024…

A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology

We describe how octopus-fish groups can work, can malfunction, and can lead to benefits! Give it a read and don't forget to see the videos for punching, displacements, and examples of solo vs collaborative hunting!! 🐙🐠🐟 Out in @NatureEcoEvo!!

Scientists have uncovered the secrets of multispecies hunting! Octopuses & fish team up, with fish guiding the hunt and octopuses capturing hidden prey. #UniKonstanz @CBehav @MPI_animalbehav research reveals incredible interspecies teamwork. @NatureEcoEvo t1p.de/8543w
