Where I discuss how chatbots, washing machines, festivals and other cultural innovations offset costs, reduce friction and substitute social relationships.
Figure 1 from the article: The effects of high temperatures and anthropogenic noise on behaviour and cognition. Anthropogenic stressors can affect behaviour both directly and indirectly via effects on cognition. Both high temperatures and anthropogenic noise independently affect various behaviours and cognitive traits; however, whether the simultaneous effect of both anthropogenic stressors will be additive, synergistic, or antagonistic remains unknown, despite the fact that these stressors often co-occur.

Our new paper is out today in Animal Behaviour: "Hushed disputes between noisy neighbours: Ovenbirds vary song amplitude during conflicts with territorial rivals." By Connor Acorn, Jenn Foote, & me. @animbehsociety.bsky.social
How loud is an Ovenbird's song? It depends...

How can we figure out the rules duetting birds use to coordinate their songs? The answer slapped me in the face when a black-bellied wren duetted with my playback (Logue 2006, 2007)! See complementary studies by Karla Rivera-Cáceres (development), Eric Fortune, and Melissa Coleman (mechanisms).

✨New paper✨
How do juvenile ravens find social groups?
We describe how juvenile common ravens, who have left their natal territories seeking to join non-breeder flocks, use space with respect to other birds, and discuss what this means for social integration.
