Very excited and honored to have my photo featured in the latest issue of the Journal of Evolutionary Biology! 🐸 @eseb.bsky.social @jevbio.bsky.social If you'd like to read more about the research: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/...

How do light and noise pollution impact selection on sexual signals? We tested mate attraction and bat predation on túngara frogs. Light and noise interact in complex ways, and light pollution shifts selection on male calling: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... @andrewdcronin.bsky.social et al.

I have a job opening in my lab. If you are interested in bird behaviour and predator prey interactions please take a look! werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies...

Do birds tune their songs to their hearing? Is there tight coevolution between avian vocal signals and hearing-or do signallers and perceivers evolve more loosely? It turns out perfect tuning is not required... Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #bioacoustics #prattle 💬 #ornithology 🪶

"In our study, we find that urbanization speeds up tadpole development and increased behavioral plasticity. However, exposure to urban conditions also decreased tadpole size, which may cause adult frogs to become smaller and less attractive for mates" Read the full paper here: buff.ly/FxGf8KD

Andrew Cronin tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “urban developmental environments alter tadpole phenotypes depending on origin”, in our recent blog post: buff.ly/OVa6Upu 🐸

New paper out with @judithsmit.bsky.social @jellers.bsky.social and Wouter Halfwerk on tadpole developmental and behavioral responses to urban environments! 🐸🏙️ Read here: doi.org/10.1111/1365... @animalecology.bsky.social Video: youtu.be/AhGPG5VOag8

New paper! 🐸🎶 Rocket frogs males respond to rivals depending on their own spectral call attributes, but also pay attention to the temporal properties of the challenger Check it out in Animal Behaviour: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #bioacoustics #prattle

Three different moments in the life of a treehopper (Campylenchia hastata). They look totally different after each of their five molts! #treehoppers #membracids #insects

My NSF PRFB on the genetics of female polymorphism in hummingbirds was terminated yesterday. I don't have much to say, I'm just sad. We've discovered so much, and could have gone so much further. If anyone else is in the same boat, esp postdocs, please reach out, it would be good to connect.

Join us (in person or online) on Tuesday, April 8th, at 4PM (Panama time) for the STRI Tupper Seminar. I will discuss my research on how animals communicate in changing environments 🐸🌃🎤! stri.si.edu/event/commun...

Found this treehopper (Calloconophora pinguis) guarding her eggs! She will later defend her hatched offspring against predators. So cool to see maternal care in insects! #treehoppers #membracids #insects

New paper out today! We studied the environmental conditions at two sponge (🧽) grounds on the northern Labrador Shelf (NE Canada). We find that sponges and associated fauna benefit from strong tidal currents and favorable regional ocean currents. Read it here: bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/...

I am excited to announce that after a long process, my work examining how El Niño events influence mating behavior and morphology in túngara frogs is finally published! Check it out! (Photo: Ryan Taylor). rdcu.be/d1g1F #evolution #ecology #climatechange
