#AOS2025 Great to see great science and reconnect with old friends and colleagues. And a fantastic Latin American representation at the conference. Had the chance to present my most recent publication in representation of my wonderful coauthors @cdanielcadena.bsky.social @selvaorgco.bsky.social

🚨Very happy that my PhD work is now out in @nature.com! We discovered that evolution, by acting in the midbrain, shifted the threshold to escape in Peromyscus mice, to fine-tune defensive strategies in different environments www.nature.com/articles/s41... This was a truly collaborative effort! 🧵⬇️

Very happy to have attended #ABS2025. As always, a fantastic meeting with great science and great people all across the board. Got to present part of my PhD research on the heritability of cooperative behavior. New paper coming soon!!

We're on @npr.org Short Wave talking birds and prairie-dogs! www.npr.org/2025/06/25/1... #ornithology

New paper!! Really fun an innovative study. Thank you Dr. Andrew Dreelin and @andyjboyce.bsky.social for the opportunity to join the crew and be a part of this project. Very excited to see it out!

Very proud of my student, Brooke Hagans, who presented her research at the Florida Undergraduate Research Conference! She is studying how social status influences social connectivity and interactions in Lance-tailed Manakins in the DuVal lab @emilyhduval.bsky.social. Paper coming? Stay tuned!

Published today, plumage color genomics! We trace the evolutionary history of a trait under sexual selection in a genus of dancing manakins. Co-led with H.C. Lim. #evobio #birds 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
