The group\u2019s central focus is how and why animals exist in various societies.<\/p>\n<p>You could think of the seminar series as the evolution of social evolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTypically, we would get invited to an annual seminar somewhere around the world but, without travel, we couldn\u2019t do that. So we started the FINE seminar in the fall of 2020 and it was a big success,\u201d Hayes said. \u201cThe idea was to have people come together during the pandemic to hear each other&#8217;s research and to build the community that was disrupted and rebuild it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the things people have told us (are) that this was a lifesaver for them to have that community of people who study social evolution and animals getting together once a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The seminars give researchers an excellent opportunity to learn about what others in the field are doing, Hayes explained. They read each other\u2019s papers and hold discussions where \u201cyou can get a deeper understanding of someone\u2019s research question,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone gets to hear talks by preeminent biologists, which is really amazing, and then we have some slots for what we call rising stars. These are more junior people that we&#8217;re giving an opportunity to expose their research to a broader audience and showcase their work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The weekly live seminars are regularly drawing audiences of 75 to 100 researchers and students worldwide, Hayes said, and there are plenty of others streaming the recordings on the group\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UClXFO1pLpCTBy7vSwLWH-GA?app=desktop\">YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust to give you a sense from one of our recent talks, there were 240 views on that already,\u201d Hayes said.<\/p>\n<p>The seminar\u2019s email list has more than 525 registered participants from 32 countries and six continents.<\/p>\n<p>No two seminars are alike, and recent Tuesday discussions have included topics such as \u201cDominance Hierarchy Formation and Brain Changes in a Socially Flexible Ant,\u201d \u201cCoevolutionary Arms Race Between a Specialist Avian Brood Parasite and its Host\u201d and \u201cInsights into Social Evolution from Baboon Studies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to talk on birds, mammals, insects, fish, and we&#8217;re also trying to diverse supply in terms of human diversity,\u201d Hayes said. \u201cWe&#8217;re trying to get a good balance of men and women and underrepresented minority groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese seminars have allowed me to make personal connections with researchers from around the world, which can lead to potential collaboration,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>One of those collaborations is a paper co-authored by \u00a0Hayes, Schradin, Fernandez-Duque and several others, including UTC graduate student Miles Matchinske, titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/eth.13219\">Using Remote Seminars to Teach Animal Behavior<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI benefit from learning more about what other people are doing that informs my teaching. Since these seminars are recorded on YouTube, I can use them in my class, and I plan to continue doing that going forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also really enjoy learning different perspectives on the world and how science is done. This has helped give me a broader understanding and broader philosophy of science and how I should be doing things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Plans are for the FINE series to continue indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to keep the momentum going, and we&#8217;re working really hard to try and get more representation from Asia and Australia. You can imagine that&#8217;s quite tricky because of the time difference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminar discussions cover birds, mammals, insects, fish, even human diversity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2021\/12\/online-seminar-series-explores-animal-societies\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1493,"featured_media":39168,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64,3,12659,7712,48007],"tags":[119123,70426],"class_list":{"0":"post-39116","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-community","8":"category-events-entertainment","9":"category-faculty-and-staff","10":"category-news","11":"category-research-academics","12":"tag-international-remote-seminar-on-frontiers-in-social-evolution-fine","13":"tag-loren-hayes","14":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
