Very happy to see this out NatureEcoEvo ! Beautiful work by Ben Sandkam on the five Y chromosomes of Poecilia parae. rdcu.be/cj6ze Thanks to European Research Council (ERC), and Iulia Darolti Benjamin Furman Wouter van der Bijl Felix Breden and other non-twits!


Extreme Y chromosome polymorphism corresponds to five male reproductive morphs of a freshwater fish rdcu.be/ckaj7 Ben Sandkam et al


Dr. Nora H. Prior Nora H Prior helps run the Animal Behavior Society Twitter account! Nora is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Maryland, College Park BSOS @ UMD, and will be starting in July as a Senior Research Associate Cornell University.



Poster session 1 number 62 with Nora H Prior & Julie A Hengst. We would love to hear your thoughts, questions, and experience with #humananimalbond #animalassistedintervention #psychology #science #anthrozoology #dogs #pets #workingdogs


🚨 PhD available - Fall 2022 Want to explore how #animalbehavior is shaped by #evolution of the #genome 🧬? Accepting PhD students in Neurobiology and Behavior Cornell University University! Neurobio & Behavior sandkamlab.org/join-us [email protected] Pls RT! #PhDposition #AcademicChatter


Next Monday, our #ABStakeover will be run by Nora H Prior Nora H Prior, a researcher Cornell Psychology! Tune in November 15th to hear about #socialbehavior, #socialsynchrony, #FowlersGap, #birdcalls, and more!


We are looking forward to Nora H Prior Nora H Prior running our next #ABSTakeover on 11/15! Nora studies how social interactions impact the brain and behavior! Follow along here Monday to learn all about her #research on #perception, #communication, and #neuroendocrinology!


Excited to hear from Nora H Prior with Animal Behavior Society #ABStakeover !

Episode #5 is out now! 💫 This week we're speaking with Nora H Prior about social relationships, and the link between neural mechanisms and social behavior! We also talk about scholar activism and community building in research! Wherever you find #podcasts!



I’m very excited to share this preprint of our recent study with Imogen Porter, @EcoEvoAquatics, Lydia JM Fong, and Judith Mank which explores the genomic, epigenomic, and evolutionary mechanisms of a novel X chromosome dosage compensation system! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Ever wondered how a sex chromosome dosage compensation mechanism evolves de novo? Transposon wave remodelled the epigenomic landscape in the rapid evolution of a novel X chromosome dosage compensation mechanism. Absolutely beautiful work by David Metzger biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Throwback Thursday- in case you missed it... #Monogamy in a Moment: How do Brief Social #Interactions Change Over Time in Pair-Bonded Zebra #Finches (Taeniopygia guttata)? By Nora H Prior et al doi.org/10.1093/iob/ob… #birds #orinthology #behavior #sciencetwitter #womeninstem


Happy Halloween from the Sandkam Lab!! 🎃 We had a ton of fun with the building wide door decorating. Thanks so much to Leslie S. Babonis for organizing!

I'm obviously biased, but I think this is a 'must-read' for everyone interested in #colsci (and in evol biol at large!). Most of the authors (#DKemp, #JEndler, #JArendt, #DReznick) are not on Twitter, but at least Cedric van den Berg is! #Preprint in Authorea shorturl.at/ehNO0shorturl.…
