Very nice work @adrijeckel.bsky.social!

So grateful for this invigorating collaboration and funding opportunity! I can’t wait to see what we learn in the coming years in this multifaceted, intercontinental, multi-bicho team 🐸🐜🐌 🇨🇷🇬🇧🇳🇱

Granados-Martinez et al. (2025) ran behavioral field experiments to test whether male Strawberry Poison Frogs (Oophaga pumilio) rely on vision for navigation in tropical forests and open areas. Read a summary of their results at AmphibiaWeb.org #AWNews

This is really cool, it's a display of all the bugs found on a single tree. #Invertebrate

So the ‘#ChicagoRatHole’… wasn’t made by a rat after all? Our 3rd most popular paper this year, this #BiologyLetters study compared the imprint to eight local rodent species and revealed a 98.67% likelihood that hole was in fact left by a squirrel: doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

5/ Some wings have evolved strategies to help reduce damage resulting from collisions. For example, we learned a few years ago that wasp wings have a flexible joint that acts like a reversible crumple zone, allowing the wing tip to easily bend out of the way when it hits things...

We offer a fully funded 4-yr contract for a PhD candidate in Evolutionary Biology to join our group (www.eco-evo-devo.com). The project will combine genomics and ecophysiology to understand the evolution of developmental plasticity in spadefoot toads. For requisites and contact info please check 👇

In what may be one of Earth’s craziest forms of mimicry, researchers in 2023 reported a species of rove beetle that grows a termite puppet on its back to fool real termites into feeding it. Learn more on #NationalWildlifeDay: https://scim.ag/4mM2aS9

🚨 Exciting news for #ESEB2025! Join us in Barcelona for our symposium: Cooperation, Conflict & the Evolution of Socially Transferred Materials (S08) 📅 Thursday, 21 Aug 2025 🕥 10:30–12:30 | 🕔 17:00–19:00 (Poster Session)

Cool new pub: No evidence of quantitative honest signaling in the poison frog D auratus academic.oup.com/cz/advance-a... out of the Saporito lab 🐸🧪🌿 nice photos of the scary 😉 defensive posture

Hemos registrado por primera vez un CO2 en la atmósfera superior a 430ppm. La última vez que esto ocurrió de forma consistente fue hace 14 millones de años. Los primeros restos de Homo Sapiens tienen 300.000 años, los primeros del género Homo hace 2,4 Millones. Vivimos tiempos extraordinarios

Do you work on a socially transferred material such as milk, seminal fluid, skin secretions or regurgitate? Interested in attending ESEB 2025 in Barcelona? Then please consider submitting to our symposium!

Good piece by @natureportfolio.bsky.social. The erosion of thinking time—driven by admin, bureaucracy, industry agendas, and unrealistic output targets—stifles curiosity-led science. These pressures undermine innovation and the intellectual freedom vital for real progress. 🧪🌱🌍 #ScienceIsNotBusiness
