Piranha
I was recently invited to be a guest blogger for ‘Not Bad Science’, a Scientific American-hosted blog by Dr Felicity Muth. In response to some recent sensationalist news reports, I chose to highlight myth-busting work by Anne Magurran and Helder Queiroz on piranha behaviour. You can read the piece here. Following Felicity’s blog is an excellent way to keep up with exciting developments in animal behaviour and cognition.

It has proved very popular with all ages, and includes a computer game in which the player experiences the surprisingly perilous life of a piranha – click here to play.
