Happy to part of this amazing project. Congratulations to @tyleraudet.bsky.social @idworkin.bsky.social Stefan Lupold and all co-authors. doi.org/10.1093/evol...

I am excited to tell you about our new study led by Tyler Audet and in collaboration with Stefan Lüpold's group. Below you see two species. On the right is Drosophila melanogaster. On the left, Drosophila prolongata. Notice the highly exaggerated legs of the males in D.p! doi.org/10.1093/evol...

I compiled a list of 350 #funding opportunities for #postdoctoral research #fellowships: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J2M_tQgoqV4ivpfEClh9qs9f2KQN2O1G3Jpda2aoHfQ/edit?usp=sharing I realized I should share this again after mentioning it to some folks at the #efp2026

🌡️ Excited to share my talk today at Global Change! 🗣️ “When Heat Stress Matters Most” I’ll discuss how stress affects life stages of insect 🐞 and why identifying vulnerable periods to climate change is important. 📅 01/07/2026 🕥 10:30–12:30 📍 Area Descartes — talk at 12:00 #ECE2026Tours

European Entomology conference begins with Prof. Jerome Casas’ talk!! #ECE2026Tours

🌍🔥🦋 Global collaboration: Ontogenetic Thermal Fertility Limits! We're bringing together researchers to understand how temperature affects fertility across life stages in a warming world. If you work on #insects #fertility, we'd love for you to join us. www.thermalecologyalliance.org #scicommUU26

Inbreeding leads to fitness loss- using (Tribolium castaneum), we tested pre- and post-copulatory inbreeding avoidance mechanisms- Males courted related females more, "a surprising result"...here it is: doi.org/10.1371/jour... #insects #biodiversity #science @exeter.ac.uk #FathiAttia #tomtregenza

🐦 Interested in avian reproduction, microbiomes, or reproductive microbiomes? I'm looking for outstanding early-career researchers interested in applying for an NWO Veni grant to join my group at NIOO. Pre-proposals are due after the summer. Email me to discuss ideas. #EarlyCareerResearcher #Postdoc

Still 10 days left to apply - Come join us in Uppsala! Fully funded Phd position in Evolutionary Biology. Deadline 22nd of May.

Our TREE paper out on how a systems modelling approach can help to predict extreme heat impacts with some ideas on how we can move forward in implementing www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

So happy to see the 2nd chapter of my PhD out! doi.org/10.1093/evol... Here, we studied populations sampled from their local elevational edges and centers on mountain slopes, and characterised the variation in G-matrices (comprised of growth and leaf investment traits) among these populations. 1/5

Are you looking for a PhD position, hoping to learn sexual selection theory from one of the true experts in the field? Lehtonen's work is awesome - Look at this and apply! ats.talentadore.com/apply/doctor...

Happy to be able to share our review of the consequences of rising temperatures on animal fertility, led by @rhondasnook.bsky.social with @liamdougherty.bsky.social and Claudia Fricke. Research is getting active in this area but there's still a lot of unknowns... rdcu.be/e7uGm

New paper from our lab showing that larvae exposed to thermal stress suffer higher mortality, but for those that survive, there are no long-term effects on reproduction later in life www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🌡️🐞 Congrats to @jakobwiil.bsky.social on his first paper from his PhD! 🥳

📣 PhD opportunity in my lab 📣 We're looking for a motivated student interested in the effects of thermal stress on animal survival and reproduction: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... Project is open-ended to allow student to define its direction depending on their interests Please share widely!

POSTDOC recruitment! We’re looking for a post-doc to join us to work on the (epi)genetic basis of inbreeding depression as part of the ANR-funded project FRIDA macrostomum.wordpress.com/the-genetic-... Please share!

Males of the fruit fly (Drosophila prolongata) engage in territorial contests, using their elongated forelegs as weapons to fend off rivals and secure access to females and food. Read 'Social plasticity and individuality shape variation in contest behaviour': doi.org/10.1098/rsbl... #BiologyLetters

📢 We have an open position for a postdoc to join my lab. It's a great position @animecol-uu.bsky.social, fully salaried for 2.5 years with all benefits. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/... The project is about transmission patterns of bacteria and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in aquatic insects. 🧬🦠 (1/3)

TRAVEL AWARDS - Apply for a travel award to support your trip, accommodation and registration! Application guidelines on www.isbe2026.com

How do insects respond to changing climates? Our new review and analysis in @annualreviews.bsky.social suggests that phenological adaptation trumps thermal adaptation. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Perfectly timed to coincide with our Thermal Fertility Limit Special Topic Network meeting we’ve received a further 2 years of funding, thank you @eseb.bsky.social! And great work fellow leads @rhondasnook.bsky.social, @liamdougherty.bsky.social and Claudia Fricke.

3.5-year #Postdoc position on avian microbiomes and reproduction @animalecol-nioo.bsky.social @niooknaw.bsky.social on a fully-funded ERC project focused on understanding the significance of reproductive microbiomes for host biology and fitness.

Looking for a PhD project on sexual selection? Join us at UZH! Application deadline: 9 June 2025. jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancie...

🎉 Our new paper is out in Evolution! We show how sexual selection shapes heat tolerance in Drosophila prolongata. Males evolved under sperm competition suffer more under heat stress. Led by @adenardo.bsky.social with @StefanLupold lab members. academic.oup.com/evolut/artic... #sexualSelectio

Are you interested in predator-prey interactions and movement ecology? I am looking for a PhD student to work on the project "A mechanistic theory of functional responses: zooming into movement behaviour to understand and predict predator-prey interactions" euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/342402.

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...
