We wish we could have cited this paper by @sonjawild.bsky.social & @lucymaplin.bsky.social , which came out after our commentary was accepted. In great tits, as in human families, siblings are important role models for social learning. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Siblings and nonparental adults provide alternative pathways to cultural inheritance in juvenile great titsIn species with extended parental care, parents are often the preferred sources of information, but what about species with limited periods of parental care? This study reveals that juvenile great tit...journals.plos.org

Summary of Key Changes in OMB’s Proposed Federal Financial Assistance RuleRussell Vought is going destroy American Scienceelizabethginexi.substack.comResearchers have identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation. https://scim.ag/4nTQ3nq
BREAKING: New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion". #standupforscience public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf

New paper out in Biological Reviews📝🚨 When trying to explain why female birds engage in extra-pair copulations/paternity, we mostly focus on the benefits. But what about the costs? Should we not consider the downsides of the behavior we try to understand? 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birdsExtra-pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecol...onlinelibrary.wiley.com
