Interested in a PhD in ornithology? Funding available for projects at the interface of ecology, behaviour & evolution from Oct '26 working on long-term population studies of tits at Wytham, based in @biology.ox.ac.uk in the new Life & Mind Building in Oxford www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

This is a fantastic new preprint, one of the first papers from our replicated whole lake experimental evolution study with stickleback. alaskastickleback.com

**PhD POSITIONS** I am recruiting 1-2 PhD students to work on sociality and cognition in Monk Parakeets, starting Fall 2026. Full ad is here: hobsonresearch.com/index.php/20... (please help spread the word!)

I'm looking for PhD students to join the lab starting August 2026. We study the evolution of insect chemical signals so if you're interested in evolutionary biology, chemical ecology, molecular biology, behavior, or genetics, this could be a good fit for you! More info here: tinyurl.com/mrxchwfm

UPDATE: The 2025-2026 list of faculty and postdoc positions in ecology and evolutionary biology is out! Be sure to check out this active and helpful community run resources! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

WHY does the word assess mean something so different when you forget one 's'. On a grant no less. Good thing I found it before submitting #newPI #GrantWritingWoes 🤦

My lab is moving! 🍄 Starting Jan 2026, we'll be at @ucriverside.bsky.social in the Dept of EEOB! We will keep investing #microbes (fungi and sometimes bacteria) under global change and looking at ecosystem-scale consequences 🍄🧫🦠🌎🧬 I'm grateful to my friends, colleagues, and students at NMSU 🌟

Want to come work in beautiful wine country by Niagara Falls and the Niagara escarpment? You can!! Canada Excellence Research Chair in Sustainable Agriculture for Grape and Wine Professor or Associate Professor, Tenured ‪@brocku.ca‬ brocku.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/brocku_caree...

Huge thank you @aeastephens.bsky.social‬ for initiating the TrendsTalk series 'Disability in ecology and evolution' in T.R.E.E. providing visibility for disabled researchers in #Ecology & #Evolution to make our field more #inclusive www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Hi everyone, happy to share with all of you the paper from the second chapter of my PhD, where we show that more exploratory birds use a broader foraging niche, linking consistent behavior with ecological flexibility. I hope you can enjoy it and share it!!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Sheila Colla – brilliant conservation scientist, tireless native pollinator advocate, and environmental justice champion. Her legacy will continue to guide Ontario Nature’s pollinator work. bumblebeewatch.org @savewildbees.bsky.social

Great #CSEE2025 meeting @csee-scee.bsky.social in Sherbrooke! Thank you @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social -- Canadian E&E is a fantastic community! Super proud of lab members for stellar (award winning!) talks and poster! And the most creative swan-song poster by my colleague Chris Eckert!

I’ll be at #CSEE2025 talking about patterns of collaboration in the Canadian eco/evo research community 🇨🇦 If you’re a eco/evo prof in Canada, odds are you were one of my data points… so come check it out! Wednesday - 4:30 - Science in action @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social

If anyone at @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social wants to go to the banquet but didn’t get a ticket, let me know!! I can’t make it anymore, I have to leave for fieldwork tomorrow (Tuesday) night

Pleased to have an amazing showing from the Ziter lab here at #CSEE2025. Interested in urban ecology and social-ecological systems? We’ve got 6 talks/posters on deck for you!

✨ The Bernhardt Lab at the University of Guelph is recruiting graduate students for 2026! Join us! We have several fully funded grad positions available ✨ Please spread the word! www.bernhardtlab.org/join-us #CSEE2025

Starter Culture Microgrants recently funded 2 projects! How we teach evolution matters. Resources for Inclusive Evolution Education developed modules that address bias & boost understanding. The results? It works! Learn more: buff.ly/QzKxG9I @photopidge.bsky.social @suegenenoh.bsky.social 1/2🧵

🚨Anyone want a job?🚨 We have two #postdocs up for grabs! 🧪 - cell developmental biology/#evodevo/#neuroevodevo - bioinformatics and molecular biology Both working on brain evolution in Heliconiini butterflies Details below! Please repost 🙏 1/n

Very excited to have a blog post posted that was led by @suegenenoh.bsky.social summarizing and outlining #RIE2 development of undergrad teaching modules for evolution. ecoevoevoeco.blogspot.com/2025/06/unlo... and cross posted here genestogenomes.org/unlocking-un... 🧬🧪👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🔬#newPI #Evolution

This was just on the sidewalk and I cannot decide if it’s a good thing I instantly knew what the album and artist is…

Just created a stickleback feed so it’s easy to see what other Bluesky users are saying about stickleback in one feed. The post just needs to include the word stickleback in it, even if it’s just in image alt text. ehttps://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:rtgmt535jxnnvolguctkalcy/feed/aaacekwe4gzdk

As usual, forgot to take a picture of the #GotandaLab end of term celebration but had some #StiemarDonuts from #Windsor thanks to @wilderecology.bsky.social ! Absolutely delicious!! #NewPI #WomeninSTEM

ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years. 1/n

URGENT ACTION FOR NSF GRANTEES. For current & recent (since 2020) awards, archive your award history this afternoon/tonight. Screenshot/download/print your work in research.gov & alert your partners. We have credible threats to integrity of awards tracking systems (via @jeremymberg.bsky.social)

Coming out if hibernation to share some newly published work from my diss in a special issue on student-led research from the American Journal of Primatology! doi.org/10.1002/ajp.... We looked at termite fishing behavior in a new community of understudied Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees in Cameroon.

Big news: I've signed the contract for a 3rd edition of 'The Scientist's Guide to Writing', adding coverage of so-called "AI" writing tools. But it's also a chance to update and revise throughout - so I invite your input! See here to leave suggestions: scientistseessquirre...

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

The biggest, most up-to-date, and cleanest version of our database is now officially published in Ecology @ESA_org - check it out. "This new, curated version has 9263 records collated from 326 studies, 1801 systems, and 428 species." esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

American Eco-Evo types! Looking for a conference where Equality Diversity and Inclusion are celebrated, not hidden? Interested in opportunities for collaborations, grad studies, postdocs, faculty jobs in Canada, a functioning democracy? THIS IS IT: event.fourwaves.com/scee2025/pages

Sooooo if this whole "biological sex" EO is really happening, biologists are going to make as much noise about it as possible, right? Professional societies, universities, individual research groups? It's really incumbent on us (that's a "biologists us" here) to make a BIG FUCKING STINK

Anyone know how to tell if students are intentionally calling Tukey tests Turkey tests? Should we be correcting them? #newPI 🧬 #AcademicSky

*POSTDOC JOB* If you are excited about animal sociality/cognition, are computationally-inclined, and are looking for a postdoc, I'll be hiring soon! Please come talk to me today or tomorrow at #SICB2025, or reach out over email. Official ad coming soon!

Happy New Year! I updated my webpage of envirionment-related scholarships, grants, & awards: www.aerinjacob.ca/funding--awa... It includes: * science * action & policy * communication * travel awards * international tho' emphasis on N Am, Africa, & women Please share. #ConservationFunding

My dudes, turn this shit off. On iOS it's under Settings > Apps > Photos > scroll all the way down.

I made a plot. Please clap. #newPI #academicsky

I'm genuinely happy for everyone posting about their accomplishments for 2024 - congratulations! I, however, am too tired to think about it. #NewPI When's holiday?

At the end of 2024, we present this large-team multi-year project of compiling a global urban biological invasions compendium for plants. doi.org/10.32942/X20... Tons of exciting science to follow up on this into the next several years!
