Dear Colleague,
Emma Tecwyn and I are looking for a PhD student to join our growing and friendly developmental research group<https://www.yorksj.ac.uk/research/child-development/> at York St John University. The project will look at how young children use communication for cooperative problem-solving but there is lots of room for students to develop their own ideas within the subject area. This includes opportunities for a comparative component of the project so it would be ideal for masters students or strong final year undergraduates who have some experience of experimental research with either children or animals. The position starts in September 2024 and is competition funded through a 4-year Academic Associate position, so it does come with teaching responsibilities in the department.
We would be really grateful if you could pass this opportunity on to prospective students and encourage them to get in touch with us directly for more details about the project and the application process (the deadline for which is 22nd March).

Hi Pawel,
I hope you are doing well.
I am hosting the International Animal-Computer Interaction Conference (https://www.aciconf.org/) at Glasgow University this year on 2nd-5th December. The ACI Conference focuses on animals using technologies, and I thought it might apply to some people in BERG who use computer technologies with various animals.
The ACI Conference is an interdisciplinary conference, and the papers are peer-reviewed and published in affiliation with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The deadline for papers is the 31st of May, but we also have workshops, emerging work, and a doctoral consortium (normally with a $1000 prize). Many international people will be attending, and the topics typically cover various aspects of technology and animals, from machine learning to how to design technologies, the ethics and how to involve animals within studies, the use of technologies in zoos/homes, etc.
If anyone would like more information, they can reach out to me.
Cheers,
Ilyena

Dear BERGers,
Just a quick reminder that Bill Phillips (University of Stirling) will be giving a seminar this Wednesday entitled "Notions of Nature and Our Place in it" (abstract below). The seminar will be delivered in person in the common room.
Abstract: Philosophical, religious, and scientific notions of ancient Greek philosophers, through Erasmus and Charles Darwin and T. H. Huxley, until now will be broadly sketched to raise the following questions for discussion: Is there progressive evolution of intellect and morality? Is morality subjective and relative, or objective and absolute, or a bit of both? Is life essentially selfish, at all or any level of organisation from genes to human societies? In what sense are we free to choose what we think and do? How should science and moral beliefs be related to government? Open-minded discussion is hoped for, but unanimity is not expected.

Dear BERGers,
The talk BES talk below may be of interest:
The birds and the bees: how do different organisms use the same information?
Maria Tello Ramos<https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Maria-Tello-Ramos>, Research Fellow, School of Biology, University of St Andrews
Wednesday 28th February, 1-2pm, Cottrell 2V1 and streamed on Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YmZiNzY5ZDUtMWVlZC00…>.
This seminar is open to all staff, students and affiliates of the University of Stirling. The seminar is hosted by Biological and Environmental Sciences (BES).
https://besseminars.stir.ac.uk/event/28-02-24/
Who this might appeal to: The talk should be of interest to behavioural ecologists in general and those working in insects and bird behaviour. My talk should overlap with the evolving organisms research group. I will talk about convergence in cognition, so it should also be of interest to people studying cognition in general.
Abstract: Different animals solve ecological problems in a myriad of ways. Some animals navigate by following stars, others follow smells and others count steps. All solutions get animals where they need to go, and different solutions depend on what information animals have available at a time and how they process that information. More remarkable still, is when vastly different species like hummingbirds and bees behave analogously, seemingly solving cognitive problems in the same way. The size of a hummingbird's brain is not only orders of magnitude larger than that of a bee, but its morphology is also vastly different. And yet, their foraging from hundreds of flowers in a day is equally effective. While hummingbirds and bees seem to converge in the types of information they can learn when foraging from a single flower (e.g., colour, location, time of day), recent experiments suggest that when solving multiple-destination problems, these animals use different strategies: from the outset hummingbirds develop repeatable routes by visiting each nearest neighbouring flower, while bees develop optimal routes through trial and error. Does this mean that hummingbirds and bees use information differently? I will discuss how comparing the foraging behaviour of these two very different taxa can help us understand how different brains faced with solving a similar task may direct attention, perceive, or process information in different ways.
Bio: I am a cognitive ecologist specialized in studying behaviour in wild birds. I received my PhD from the University of St Andrews where I am currently working as a research fellow in a project aimed at understanding the major transitions in the evolution of cognition by comparing the cognitive abilities of hummingbirds and bees. At the same time, I am also interested in how multiple individuals can coordinate their individual behaviour and for this, I study the building behaviour white-browed sparrow weavers in South Africa. It turns out, that these birds are not only cooperative breeders but also cooperative builders. To better understand how different cognitive abilities have evolved, I have studied the cognitive abilities of different species around the world, each allowing me to answer a different question.

Dear All,
As some of you know, Odette Lis, who was a PhD student in our department, passed away last week. Many of us at BERG had the pleasure to know or meet Odette. She was a lively member of our PGR community who also attended our BERG meetings. We would therefore like to suggest that, to commemorate Odette, during our meeting this week we spend some time together as a group just chatting with each other or sitting in silence. Kirsten kindly offered to postpone her seminar to the 13th of March. The meeting this week will be held in the common room (F2F).
Take care everyone.
Best wishes,
Pawel

Editor-in-Chief for International Journal of Primatology
Dr. Joanna Setchell,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share an exciting
milestone in the field of primatology and anthropology, which I believe
will be of significant interest to your readership.
Since 1983, our team has been conducting extensive research on wild
bonobos in the Wamba region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of our continuous study, a journey
that has led to numerous insights into the behavior and ecology of these
fascinating primates. To commemorate this milestone, we have published a
book titled "Bonobos and People at Wamba: 50 Years of Research" with
Springer.
This comprehensive volume brings together reviews from most of the
Japanese and Western researchers who have worked in Wamba, each
contributing their expertise on various themes. The book offers an
exhaustive understanding not only of the bonobos at Wamba but also
provides comparative insights with other bonobo and chimpanzee research
sites, as well as the local community's lifestyle and culture.
Particularly noteworthy are the final two chapters by Richard Wrangham
and Takeshi Furuichi, which synthesize and discuss the various
hypotheses proposed over the years regarding bonobo evolution.
Having published articles related to bonobos in your esteemed journal,
we view this book as a culmination of our research efforts. We would be
honored if you could consider featuring a review of our book in your
journal.
A PDF version of the book is available for download at the following

Should you require a printed copy, we are more than willing to arrange
for one to be sent to you.
We look forward to the possibility of our book being introduced to your
readers and hope it contributes to further understanding and
appreciation of bonobos and their conservation.

Dear BERGers,
This is just a kind reminder that Michael Huffman (Kyoto University) will be giving a seminar tomorrow entitled "The Evolution of Animal Self-Medication". Please note that the seminar will be delivered online at 9am due to Mike being in Japan (link to the meeting below). The seminar will be chaired by Sharon.
Abstract
Dietary selection is an important process for the maintenance of health homeostasis. From the potential plants available in one’s environment, choices are made to ensure a proper balance of nutrients for energy, growth, maintenance, reproduction, and sometimes even their nesting material. Animals also select such plants for their medicinal properties. This rapidly growing field of research is known as animal self-medication. Infection by parasites, viruses, and other pathogens affects an animal’s behavior, health, and reproductive fitness. In response, across the animal kingdom, species have evolved a variety of means by which they counteract these affronts to their health homeostasis. Four basic modes for achieving this are: 1) behavioral avoidance or reduction of disease transmission: 2) ingestion of items with a prophylactic effect: 3) ingestion of substances of direct therapeutic value against pathogens: and 4) external application of these substances to the body or living area for the control of disease transmitting invertebrates or the treatment of wounds. Primates have provided considerable evidence for the control of intestinal parasites across all four modes, and there is much evidence being gathered across the animal kingdom to demonstrate the universality of this adaptive strategy. Traditionally, humans have also looked to the behavior of sick animals for insights into the uses of medicinal plants for themselves and their livestock. In this light, the field abounds with options for research into the applications of phytotherapy in captive and domestic livestock healthcare maintenance.
Biosketch
Michael A. Huffman is an Associate Professor in the Wildlife Research Center of Kyoto University, Japan. A native of Denver Colorado, he started his career in primatology as an undergraduate in 1979 with a field study on wild Japanese macaque behavioral ecology of Arashiyama (Kyoto) in the Department of Zoology, Kyoto University. This research became the foundation for his later field studies towards an MSc (1985) and DSc (1989) degrees in the Laboratory of Human Evolution Studies, Kyoto University.
In addition to investigations on free-ranging and captive Japanese macaques spanning over 45 years, he has intensively studied the behavioral ecology of wild chimpanzees in Tanzania and Uganda, with a focus on primate host-parasite ecology, primate self-medication, and ethnopharmacology. Since 2006 he has been conducting fieldwork in Sri Lanka, Taiwan, India, and Vietnam, with collaborations in over 35 countries on all continents.
With his students and his many collaborators, Huffman has published extensively in the fields of cultural primatology, animal self-medication, ethnobotany, pharmacology, primate host-parasite ecology, reproductive behavior and physiology, behavioral endocrinology, phylogeography, and historical primatology; including 10 books, over 240 refereed journal articles, book chapters, review articles and other miscellaneous publications. The research has covered over 15 free-ranging and captive primate species from apes to lemurs, and other mammals in Japan, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, India, Vietnam, China, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Uganda, Guinea, South Africa, Brazil, Italy, and Austria. He is deeply committed to building bridges through interdisciplinary collaborations and mentoring.
