Today is Cherokee Nation Remembrance Day. 185 years ago today, one of the final groups of Cherokees arrived in Indian Territory after being forcibly removed from our homelands and enduring a perilous journey across the Trail of Tears.

I am tired today, & no heart to write, & indeed not a word to say. I work a little every day with groans & sighs & am as dull as a pig. - It is hopeless & useless. -Charles Darwin wrote to a friend #OnThisDay in 1865

Tree crickets build megaphones, called "baffles", by chewing holes in leaves to attract mates. Our lab is seeking some #communityScience help studying the evolution of this behavior! Follow the link to our new project on @iNaturalist inaturalist.org/projects/baffl…

New paper out in ProcB! We measured sexual selection on temporally emergent properties of treefrog calls – call rate and regularity – and found that while ♀ prefer fast & regular calls, selection weakens changes shape as the number of choices increases. doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…

New work from our lab out in Ecology & Evolution! Trina Chou led this study testing the hypothesis that sexual signals reflect infection. She worked with spring peepers 🐸 naturally infected with Bd, the pathogen that causes chytridiomycosis (#chytrid). doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7…
