One of the most inspiring parts of undergrad for me was learning about the research that UCSB graduates went on to do. I'm blanking, can y'all help me identify some vertebrate biologists that did their undergrad at Iowa State? I'd like to add to some lectures! Please RT.

I'm interested in adding more voices to StatsTree.org. If you have a brief video case study of how you have used #stats in your own research, I would love to include it! See David Delaney video on painted turtles and mixed models as example. statstree.org/mixed-effect-m…

This is such an impressive analysis of the abiotic factors that stimulate nesting of painted turtles while accounting for physiological constraint, zero-inflated data, and collinearity among predictors. Great work by Morgan Muell and Dr. Carter Lea 🍉! meridian.allenpress.com/journal-of-her…

PLEASE RT. 🚨New paper🚨 "Evolutionary allometry of sexual dimorphism of jumping performance in anurans" Highlights: 1. New proxies for jumping 2. Test new hypos. for size and jumping dimorphism 3. Discuss 'many-to-one' mapping of selection to fitness!!! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

In a changing world, are animals picky about what ecological shifts they hormonally respond to? We (David Delaney Ben Dantzer, Ph.D. Andrew McAdam & more) address this question in our new paper out today in Hormones and Behavior Journal featuring Kluane Red Squirrel Project 👇 authors.elsevier.com/a/1fr58,QxXgi6W

We are hiring a post-doc to work on invasive and urban wall lizards here in Ohio! It’s a two-year, NSF-funded position including research and teaching, especially focused on those interested in pursuing a career at a PUI. Full details here: tinyurl.com/4f56up8a Please RT!

📢 New early-life effects preprint out w/ David Delaney Ben Dantzer, Ph.D. Andrew McAdam Stan Boutin & Jeff Lane testing if a resource pulse buffers individuals against the longevity costs of harsh early-life conditions (spoiler = it does) Kluane Red Squirrel Project biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢Out today! David Delaney and my new paper in #ProcB w/ Ben Dantzer, Ph.D., Andrew McAdam, Boutin & Lane shows that early-life adversity reduces adult lifespan in Kluane Red Squirrel Project... unless they encounter a food boom in later-life.
