What do Madagascar hissing cockroaches do when the air gets dry? Our Animal Behavior students @binghamtonu.bsky.social @harpurcollege.bsky.social figured it out! doi.org/10.1111/eth.... Students designed a study showing that cockroaches snuggle up, or not, depending on humidity. 🪳💧 🎉 Great work!

🌙 ⭐ Nocturnal mammals in the Peruvian Amazon love using human-made canopy walkways in trees! 🌳🌴 @binghamtonu.bsky.social @morphoinstitute.org Check out our new research here, led by Justin Santiago: neotropical.pensoft.net/article/1547...

The story of colorful signals in water anoles continues...🦎🦎🦎 academic.oup.com/biolinnean/a... Fantastic research led by @kellywuthrich.bsky.social

My intro is in need of a little update!Hello bluesky! I'm a #behavioralecologist and recently earned my PhD in @lindseyswierk.bsky.social 's lab, studying #antipredator #behavior and #thermal #physiology in #Anolis aquaticus, a species of diving lizard!

I'm excited to share a preview of PhD student Sophia Zaslow's dissertation work on eastern red backed salamanders in our lab! 𓆈𓆈𓆈 Can't wait to see what comes next... www.instagram.com/reels/DPOp1o...

Excited to (finally) share the last bit of work from my undergrad with @lindseyswierk.bsky.social Color change in female water anoles isn’t associated with social interactions, but color could signal body condition! doi.org/10.1093/biol... Check it out 🦎

Check out some new work on Amazonian tree canopy biodiversity from our lab! 🌳🙊🌳

An exciting new study now out in which I played a small part - Wood Frog Testicular Microstructure Correlates with Plasma Hormone Concentrations During Late-Stage Spermatogenesis www.herpconbio.org/Volume_20/Is... Excited to see this out, and to add a new taxonomic group to my pub list!! 🐸❤️

Water anoles take a bubble of air down when they submerge, which they breathe like a tiny scuba tank, and now @lindseyswierk.bsky.social & co reveal that the reptiles may also be using the bubble like a gill, to breathe oxygen directly from the water journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Easily one of my favorite interviews - such a great conversation with Millie! buymeacoffee.com/naturalistad...

Fantastic, thanks for putting this together Alex!

We have TWO new student-authored papers out this fall about Mexican jumping bean (larvae) behavior! Check them out! 🫘 #undergraduateresearch www.binghamton.edu/news/story/5...

This is gorgeous!!! 😍

Our lab is thrilled to share new research published today in Biology Letters on the function of water anole 'bubble breathing' ! 💧🦎💧 #lizard #HERper royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
