When studying social animals, behaviorists often ask questions about individuals’ preference for others in their group. But, what about asking questions about who a given individual might avoid? Scientists created models to ask these questions and tested it on bottlenose dolphins and….Eastern water dragons!
We are glad to share this presentation + Q&A session about social avoidance with dolphin researcher (& former DCP intern/Master’s student), Alexis Levengood, PhD.
This program is geared toward high school students and above, but all are welcome. To get the most out of this presentation, check out this article beforehand.
