Cover of the new issue of Evolution Letters @evolletters.bsky.social featuring our stickleback-tapeworm paper. academic.oup.com/evlett What happens to immunity and infection prevalence in the 50 years after a host invades a new location

Just graduated from puppy school but Monty has higher aspirations.

Perceptions matter. Despite an understanding that chemical pollution can affect wildlife behaviour, respondents from industry were more likely to be negative or neutral in their responses to the application of behavioural toxicology to risk assessment compared to those from academia and government.

Happy to share our new paper on the impacts of corporate capture strategies on human and ecosystem health 🌍 Available Open Access at 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... @dralexford.bsky.social @ipcp.bsky.social @acs.org

Excited to share our new paper led by Jake Martin (@jake-m-martin.bsky.social) out in ES&T Letters! We show that behavioral ecotox studies often test pharmaceuticals at concentrations much higher than those found in nature! Paper: tinyurl.com/lab-to-field Data/code: osf.io/h6cde/

🌿 This Biodiversity Month we’re spotlighting researchers protecting nature. Meet @julesfarquhar.bsky.social who studies venomous snakes to help people coexist safely. He hopes curiosity will inspire more of us to see snakes as fascinating, not frightening. 🐍 Seen one lately? #BiodiversityMonth

New paper on precise tool use learning in carrion crows @currentbiology.bsky.social. We show that—like New Caledonian crows—expert carrion crows pay close attention to the working end of their tool, suggesting tool integration into their peripersonal space. 🧵 & vids! 👇 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Imposter syndrome is dang near universal. Even getting a PhD doesn't make it go away!!! There are so many people out there who think they aren't good enough, don't belong, or faked their way through. You are not alone, and we need to talk about this more.

New preprint out from the lab, including @rroyaute.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... In this we test what we refer to as the "standard model" of behavioral variation. This was inspired by recent work identifying intra-genotypic variation as a major contributor to "individuality". 1/

Exciting news for #ASABWinter2025 ! 🚨Abstract deadline extension for Sept 12 !!!!🚨

Today marks the 50th anniversary of ABC Radio National’s The Science Show. Ten years ago I got to go onto the program to chat with the legendary Robyn Williams about our lab’s work on desert gobies. It remains a career highlight for me. Listen here: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Species paintings can really enhance your figures. There are real organisms underlying your data, and they are such beautiful organisms! Adding images of your study species can help your audience instantly understand what your work is about. 🐡 🧪 #scientificillustration

Congrats to Mark Hauber on winning this year's Quest Award for an outstanding seminal contribution! Mark has studied it all but the biggest themes in his work center around understanding brood parasitism and coloration of bird eggs. Richly deserved @thecowbirdlab.bsky.social ! www.cowbirdlab.org
