We've restarted the population monitoring in Rennes this year, and the birds rapidly adopted the new nest boxes! Several already have eggs, with this year being the earliest on record (estimated lay date 21st March) 🐦

New nest boxes installations on campus. A bit late in the season, but lets hope the great tits find them useful! Thanks to the CNER for their help in following the population this year.

🚨Not one, but two papers now out on response inhibition (also called motoric self-regulation or inhibitory control in the field of animal cognition). Many studies find no link between individual performance on different tasks supposedly measuring response inhibition. 1/6
