Echidna's snorkel-like beak handy in probable ocean swim from Bribie Island
By Janel Shorthouse

Although known to be capable swimmers, a potential one-kilometre ocean swim by an echidna has landed it in hospital.

If you conduct research in behavioural biology, you may be familiar with the excellent automatic tracking software for analysing ethological videos : AnimalTA vchiara.eu/index.php/animalta, developed by Violette Chiara. If you use it in classrooms, would you be willing to send me a short testimonial about it? I need it to support a proposal for this software for the "open science software" prize. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am following this fantastic webinar series by UFAW and AWRN on translating animal welfare into law and policy, which has been very educational so far.

My biggest take from the second lecture, is "the UK legal system is utterly bonkers". But I also highly recommend this for learning about how to take your science to policy.

I will never not click on cuttlefish. This episode of Many Minds with Dr Tessa Montague taught me so much about these amazing animals:
manyminds.libsyn.com/the-cuttl

manyminds.libsyn.comMany Minds: The cuttlefish and its coat of many colorsWe humans have a hard time becoming invisible. For better or worse, we're basically stuck with the skin and body we have; we’re pretty fixed in our color, our shape, our overall appearance. And so we're fascinated by creatures that aren't—creatures that morph to meet the moment, that can functionally disappear, that can shape-shift on a dime. And no creatures are more skilled, more astonishing, more bedazzling in their abilities to do this kind of thing than the cephalopods. But how do they do this exactly? What's going on in their skin? What's going on under their skin? And what's going on in their brains that makes this all possible? My guest today is . Tessa is a neuroscientist in the Axel Lab at Columbia University; she studies the brain and behavior of the dwarf cuttlefish, with a special focus on the biology of their dynamic skin behaviors. Here, Tessa and I talk about how cuttlefish and other cephalopods exhibit the most impressive camouflaging abilities on the planet. We discuss how they change their skin's appearance with remarkable speed and fidelity—and not just when trying to blend in, but also when hunting, courting, fighting, and more. We talk about whether these behaviors are flexible and whether they're voluntary. We linger on the cruel irony that cuttlefish seem to be colorblind. We talk about the idea that a cephalopod's skin is kind of a window into their brain. We lay out the cells and organs in the cephalopod skin the make these behaviors possible—especially the tiny pigment-bearing structures called "chromatophores." And of course we also dive deep into the cephalopod brain and its sometimes bizarre and poorly understood structures. Excited to share it with you friends—I think you'll enjoy it. Without further ado, here's my chat with Dr. Tessa Montague.   A transcript of this episode will be posted soon.   Notes and links 3:00 – For more on Dr. Montague’s recent expeditions to the Philippines, including photos, see . 7:30 – Dr. Montague has published two recent reviews of dynamic skin behaviors in cephalopods—see and .

Are you researching emotions (affect) in animals and would you like to communicate with lay public about animal affect? Join us this summer in Utrecht for a training school!

This is organized through the COST action Affect-Evo cost.eu/actions/CA23106/#tabs+ so there are (limited) funded spaces for participants from COST countries. Details in the flyer, and more in replies.
