Dear BERGers, In addition to our usual BERG meeting this week (Lizzie Webber showing us lots of photos and videos of elephants!) we have also got Katie Slocombe coming to give a seminar on Thursday. Katie will be talking about chimpanzee communication. She is a fantastic speaker so it should be a really great talk. If you want to come along, the talk will be at 4pm this Thursday (28 February) in the Psychology common room (3A94 Cottrell). Also, we'll be taking Katie out for dinner after the seminar. Please let me know if you would like to join us (by Wednesday morning at the latest so I can book a table). Katie will be staying at the Management Centre so we will probably go to the Meadowpark. Thanks. Christine.

Please see a message below for the wonderful SCAB - it would be wonderful to have a good representation from Stirling. Please register directly with Dana Weldon. We may be able to coordinate travel, so let me know if you plan to go. Best, Hannah Hi all, This is an announcement of the annual Scottish Conference on Animal Behaviour, to be held this year at the University of Glasgow. Apologies for the short notice but the event will be held on Saturday March 23rd, in the Graham Kerr building at the University of Glasgow. This is a smaller conference with a very relaxed atmosphere and is an ideal venue for students and post-docs to present their work to peers. Please feel free to submit a title on any aspect of animal behaviour. This means lab or field. Terrestrial or aquatic. Invertebrate or vertebrate. Fur, fins, or feathers. It all sounds great to us! Anyone interested in presenting a talk or poster can submit titles to Dana Weldon (d.weldon.1(a)research.gla.ac.uk<mailto:d.weldon.1@research.gla.ac.uk>) by Thursday 8th March. Registration for general attendees will close on Friday the 15th March at 5pm. Registration is £15 and includes coffee, tea, lunch, and a wine and cheese reception after talks. We request that the payment be made in cash the day of the conference. Priority for talks and posters will be given to students. Attached is a poster containing this info. We would be grateful if you could circulate this announcement to any colleagues who might be interested or stick the poster somewhere visible in your department. Hope to see you all in Glasgow!

Dear all, The BERG meetings start up again this week, and we have got Kelly Cobey talking to us about hormonal contraceptive use and relationship dynamics. For those of you that have not had a chance to meet Kelly yet, she is a PhD student from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, but she has been in Stirling for a little while now doing some work with Craig Roberts. We have got a few other talks lined up for this semester, but there are still some gaps in the schedule (27 Feb, 6 March, 20 March & 27 March) so please let me know if you have something that you might be interested in presenting, or someone that you might be interested in inviting over to talk to us. Thanks! Christine.
