Happy to see this out in early view in Evolution! We tested the roles of signaling and camouflage in the evolution of iris color in Tyranni songbirds. Our findings suggest that bright irises are social/sexual signals mostly associated with species less vulnerable to predation doi.org/10.1093/evol...

Pumped to share our work on bird behavior and the 2024 Eclipse, in today's @science.org. 100k bird vocalizations + 10k continent-wide observations from the public = really fun collab led by Liz Aguilar, with @juncowren.bsky.social @mathcancer.bsky.social @imillercrews.bsky.social #NSF

And that's how you integrate digital elements into an exhibition. Part of the temporary "China's Dinosaur World" at the Shanghai Natural History Museum, China. Closing this November. Video source: Shanghai Let's Meet

Finished! “Tree Fort”. Coloured pencil on cotton paper. With thanks to the raccoon who sat so nicely for me 🙏 #SciArt #WildlifeArt

I'm SOOOO EXCITED for this Sex(es) Across Origins Symposium at #SICB2026!!!! I just submitted an abstract for the complementary session (on bird plumage and social selection with @gamaevo.bsky.social), and I hope you consider applying, too! @sicb.bsky.social @sicbjournals.bsky.social

Today is my birthday! I’d love if you could share my art or donate to a nature conservancy of your choice. 💚

Good morning #PortfolioDay! I'm Lauren, a biologist and scientific illustrator. I make art for publications, #SciComm, #BoardGames and more! Mostly birds, but bugs and plants and more! See my latest in the game Nature by @northstargames.bsky.social 🎨🪶🧪 #SciArt Shop & more: linktr.ee/tinylongwing

Mockingbird’s Muses poster prints!

Vem comigo ver bem de pertinho todos os detalhes desse bordado feito à mão em mais de 60 horas de trabalho? 👀♥️🔍

Finished this 8x6” gouache at about 3am last night and it sold before I even had a chance to post it here! If you haven’t checked it out yet- all my paintings are currently 60% off the listed price, even brand spankin new ones like this! KateAveryArt.com to ogle/buy the art goodies 🥳

Excited for Evolution with @leiltonluna.bsky.social and @gamaevo.bsky.social!

Hey new followers, want to help an independent artist buy her parrot all the toys his little heart desires? Prints here! www.inprnt.com/gallery/near...

Had a blast on @scifri.bsky.social talking about female birds! www.sciencefriday.com/segments/bir...

We got the cover!! Congrats to the warblers, too! @jacanamama.bsky.social @rosvall-lab.bsky.social www.nature.com/natecolevol/...

Now published! We examine how female competition shapes movement ecology. We provide the first genetic evidence of female philopatry and male-biased dispersal in a socially polyandrous bird species! doi.org/10.1093/evol... @journal-evo.bsky.social

So thrilled to have captured this image of iridescence on the wings of these 2 Swallows. It's tricky enough photographing these birds in flight but positioning yourself in relation to the sun a certain way can produce stunning results... #wildlifephotography

I'm a little late to post about this, but I'm happy to see this paper out! We found in ovenbirds that the color and size of their beaks, the color of their legs, plumage color and body size evolve together in relation to environmental temperature: academic.oup.com/auk/advance-...

First paper (in review) from the Lipshutz Lab at Duke! Led by postdoc Leilton Luna

Where are all the field studies? This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer. A short 🧵 (and a call for more fieldwork) www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Our review is out in Nature Reviews Genetics! rdcu.be/d5AY2 We show how phylogeny-based methods can resolve the problem of non-independence in genomic datasets. These methods must be considered an essential part of the comparative genomics toolkit. @lauriebelch.bsky.social @stuwest.bsky.social

So many good points in here. When women begin to enter fields, first people cheer the pioneers. Then women do it more...and men get nervous. And then men run. And then they declare they NEVER wanted to do it anyway. Education is for GIRLS. celestemdavis.substack.com/p/why-boys-d...

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/...
