Heading to @sebiology.bsky.social conference in Florence! If you want to learn about how behavioural thermoregulation shapes how heat tolerance evolves please come say hi 👋 🐝 I'm speaking in session A9 "Integrating genomics and ecology to study adaptation to global change" on Thursday @ 12:15pm.

Applications are NOW OPEN for Smith Fellows conservation research Fellowships beginning in 2027! View the Proposal Guidelines and apply here: smithfellows.org/proposal-gui...

Ever considered joining the #RESInsectConsDiv team? We have vacancies! 📢 We are seeking active & enthusiastic researchers in these fields to join us as Associate Editors. Think you might fit the bill? See ⬇️ buff.ly/nnLQ65j Deadline: 31 August 2026 @royentsoc.bsky.social @wileyeco.bsky.social

Four post-doc positions in Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics and Genomic Ecology, based at Smithsonian in Panama. These sound really cool! stri.si.edu/story/bci-ev...

The Brock Lab is hiring a postdoc to help us study sensory ecology and sexual selection in urban reptiles! 🐍🦎🌆 Comes with a $5K travel stipend. App closes July 1! careers-sdsurf.icims.com/jobs/20539/p...

So very proud of @rileymcorcoran.bsky.social for publishing her beautiful masters thesis work!! @official-smbe.bsky.social academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-.... Repeated positive selection in landlocked alewives is rare, but balancing selection acts on a set of genes from a single gene family.

Can you see the dragonfly-like insect in this rock? It’s a Mischoptera, a Paleozoic insect!! #FossilFriday ⚒️🧪

Scientific journal editor here: If you're invited to peer review an article and you can't do it, please just click "no." That tells me "this person can't do it, I should invite someone else." Otherwise the system waits 3 weeks to tell me that you didn't respond and I should invite someone else.

🔥 Hot off the press 🔥 Who can take the heat? 🐝 Published in Nature Communications we show that native bees can evolve greater tolerance to heat. But how heat tolerance evolves depends on the different nesting behaviours bees have. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy #flyday! An ideal day to share the 1st chapter from my PhD, now published in Animal Behavior! We did a deep dive into courtship in the apple maggot fly, famous for sympatric speciation and spider mimicry @animbehsociety.bsky.social #evosky 🧪 1/2 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In a rapidly changing world, site fidelity can be a trap. In our new paper in Movement Ecology, however, we find that stopover site fidelity by Whimbrel is associated with high flexibility in their local-scale habitat use. Awesome work by Maina Handmaker & folks at South Carolina DNR! rdcu.be/fn1EE

Awkward conundrum for U.S. academics: 1. Feeling fortunate to have a 9 month tenured or tenure-track appointment. 2. Well-intentioned university staff on 12 month appointments and deanlettes with administrative supplements are emailing you to do service- or teaching-related work during summer.../1

Two pleas from a journal editor: 1. If you're mid-career or senior and are declining a review, please recommend a junior colleague. 2. If you're early-career and want to be asked to review papers, please ensure editors can readily discover your expertise, current affililation, and email address.

Why do species' ranges stop where they do? New theory shows that matching habitat choice can sharpen range boundaries and reinforce limits imposed by competition academic.oup.com/evlett/advan... By Shirani and @benjaminfreeman.bsky.social

I see "done is better than perfect" as writing advice very often. But at best it's not very useful advice; at worst, it can lead writers astray.

🌟 baby's first preprint! 🌟 Are wing displays a sexual signal in Rhagoletis juglandis flies? We went back to the basics to find out: choice trials with 1 female and 2 males, one of which had restricted display (i.e. we superglued his wings to his abdomen). 1/4 www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-9...

Individual-based model reveals sympatric allochronic divergence possible without ecological divergence. Male-male competition for females drives male activity timings towards an earlier activity timing niche: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... @titouanbouinier.bsky.social @isyeb.mnhn.fr @cirbcdf.bsky.social

I think a lot about how mountain species are responding to warming temperatures so it was great to team up with @suzetteflantua.bsky.social @kjfeeley.bsky.social Christi McCain & Jenny McGuire to write a review of sp responses to both modern AND Quaternary warming www.nature.com/articles/doi...

1/Our lab has two new papers out! Both highlight how nuanced the responses of many species are to climate change. The first was led by super undergrad Eden Smith: link.springer.com/article/10.1... The second by awesome PhD student @feipenghuang.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/beheco/artic...

Woohoo go @katie-is-alive.bsky.social !! 🎉🎉🎉

new perspective piece about the role of reproduction in arthropod extinctions! with PhD student @sarahnalley.bsky.social and @noahleith.bsky.social 🧪🌍🐙 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @cudenverclas.bsky.social

A friendly word of advice. I review a lot of papers and I do not speak acronym. Please do not make up any more that will be used only in your paper.

Happy to share new paper in EcologyLetters We show that aggressive male morphs make populations unstable & less resilient to heat stress @neelamporwal.bsky.social @jacek-radwan.bsky.social @robknell.bsky.social @ecoevoenviro.bsky.social @evobiolab.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Toads can be odd creatures. Tonight I found a group of males singing from underneath an undercut stream bank. Like they had their own little cave-like nightclub.

Proud of this subtle paper from the lab. Went out to test for cryptic eco-evo dynamics in response to the urban heat island. Found evolution, ecological change, and local adaptation, but no feedbacks (and that woodlice have been common in NA at least 200 yrs? Read to learn more.

How much and in what ways do animals contribute to elemental cycling in freshwater ecosystems? Find out here in this work led by Jonathan Lopez & Taylor Michael!

Reposting this opportunity! Review of applications will start in two weeks so there is still time to apply (and we keep the portal open for submissions until the position is filled) Come work with us!

Safe to say that we are very excited about this here at ESEB! Huge thanks to Brian Golding for entrusting us with the fantastic service that you have created and curated for the years! Follow @evoldir.bsky.social

New study led by Sean McHugh (@phyllurus.bsky.social) now out in @systbiol.bsky.social! Sean's approach models how species gain and lose biome affinities over time, both in terms of where they *do* live (e.g. movement) and where they *could* live (e.g. adaptation) doi.org/10.1093/sysb...

Post Doc position alert! Come work with us on the evolution of cannibalism. Full job description in link below. Salary starts at $58k plus benefits. (Please help spread the word) emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Jefferson's salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum) found under a log a few days ago. It was about 100 meters from a wetland where these salamanders breed. The breeding season wrapped up about a week ago, so it was probably in the process of moving away from the pond until the next season. Ohio.
