Good news and bad news here. The GRFP solicitation is now live. Yay! However, those who have completed more than a year of graduate school already are no longer eligible. This absolutely sucks...

UPDATE: The 2025-2026 list of faculty and postdoc positions in ecology and evolutionary biology is out! Be sure to check out this active and helpful community run resources! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

✨Life Update✨: I'm excited to announce that I've started a new position as Senior Marine Scientist at Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Stay tuned for new scientific adventures from the Gulf coast of Alabama 🌊🐢👩‍🔬 @disealab.bsky.social

Moment of zen brought to you by Great Smoky Mountains National Park ⛰️

Great to see this published in @gigascience.bsky.social! Using @nanoporetech.com, we generated genome and methylome resources simultaneously to drive molecular insights for conservation of loggerhead sea turtles in Cape Verde 🐢🧬🇨🇻 doi.org/10.1093/giga...

Does anyone have intel on the new Simons Foundation fellowships to support incoming PhD students in ecology and evolution? 👀 Types of projects most likely to be funded? Strings attached? 🤷 www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/simons...

Join us live for our next #EcoEvo author seminar to hear Katrina Phillips @katrinaphillips.bsky.social talk about her #ProcB paper 'New insights on sea turtle behaviour during the ‘lost years’. Wed 4 June, 3:00 PM (GMT+1). Reserve your place: cassyni.com/events/U1GH1... #ecology

Awesome new paper showing that sea turtles can learn the magnetic field associated with a food source. 💭🍽️🗺️ #AnimalNavigation #MagneticMap #MagneticCompass #AnimalMigration #MovementEcology #SeaTurtles Come for the cutting-edge science, stay for the 'turtle dance' videos...

I'm happy to share that the spatial component of my dissertation work on 'lost years' sea turtles is out now! If you're attending #SERSTM2025 this week, I'll be presenting the highlights in the #MovementEcology session this afternoon. 🌊🐢🗺️ #seaturtle #telemetry #OpenAccess

To learn how researchers collect DNA samples from eagle rays - and why this work is important - read John @mobulasana.bsky.social's blog, detailing fieldwork & how the research contributes to our understanding of population connectivity. Read the full blog below. saveourseas.com/update/ray-s...

So happy to be able to contribute to this paper and for the US Animal Telemetry Network to be part of such a collaborative group! I'm excited to see our community continue to grow! #biologging #telemetry #opendata 🌐🌊📈

🚨 New Paper Alert 🚨 Interested in fish #migration 🐟, acoustic #telemetry 🔊, #genomics 🧬, and #morphometrics 📐? Check out how we combined them all in this study! Read it here #OpenAccess 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Excellent new #OpenAccess paper by Holly Stokes and others demonstratng lack of negative impacts of satellite tracking of juvenile hawksbill turtles. Important insights from long term work. More studies appraising impacts needed 🐢🌍🧪🦑 🌐🦤 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🚨 New paper! Something a little bit different this time. We used genomics to trace the invasion history of a predatory marine gastropod, identify potentially adaptive loci, and then leverage the invasive populations to test for predictable allele shifts! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Movement and migration ecology starter pack! Help me fill it out as more folks join Bluesky 🌎🌍🌏 go.bsky.app/SSiWN2u

Time to transfer this from the other place... Several sea turtle projects have documented ↘️ average nester size or ↗️ proportion of small nesters. I summarized in the March 2023 SWOT Report. List of published studies in 🧵 below. I will update with new pubs as I see them - please add any I missed!

If you’re attending #Evol2024 🇨🇦 and have an interest in long-distance migration 🗺️ , whole genome analyses 🧬 , or sea turtles 🌊 🐢 - stop by poster I1 this evening to chat!
