The future is bright ✨⭐🌟💫 #SICB2024 #proudPI Millie, the pinniped enjoyer @stabdelraheem


New #openaccess research out today in Scientific Reports !! Can training prevent harassment in scientific fieldwork? We conducted a treatment-control and pre-post study with >900 staff at California Department of Fish and Wildlife to find that training can have real and lasting benefits nature.com/articles/s4159…

I am SO grateful to my amazing collaborators on this project, which was a labor of love all the way through: Roxanne Beltran @megan_s_jones Erika Zavaleta Allison Payne et al. #STEM #DEI #metoo #womeninSTEM @equityinSTEM #diversityinstem #Science

🚀🌏 Excited to share our latest paper, 'Beyond reporting: proactive strategies for safer scientific fieldwork' in Trends in Ecology & Evolution! with the wonderful Roxanne Beltran Erika Zavaleta authors.elsevier.com/a/1iYNK_3sj9ip…




Excited to share that our new paper on the link between experience and independence for a collective migrant is now out in Current Biology ! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… @anflack Elham Nourani MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social


📢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.

Our recent Marion Island Seals paper on IPMs and seals, led by Murray Christian, is the topic of an Journal of Animal Ecology ««Research Highlights»» paper (thank you, Chloé Nater). Both papers (+ reproducible analysis code) feature in this edition of J. Anim. Ecol. dx.doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Now available in early view, our manuscript on "Ecosystem Sentinels as Early-Warning Indicators in the Anthropocene" looks at types of sentinel data and how it can be best used to help inform management. doi.org/10.1146/annure… Matthew Savoca Max Czapanskiy T.J. Clark-Wolf


The vision becomes the view! 🥹🎉 Congrats to Bryan Gaensler and to the 2,300 students who will get their dream degree-defining experiences!

Excited to share our new paper "Maximizing biological insights from instruments attached to animals", led by Roxanne Beltran doi.org/10.1016/j.tree…


Our 43(!) coauthor paper on how to build coalitions of support for grad student strikes in life sciences departments is now out in BioScience! We reflect on our experiences as a department during the University of California 2022 strike: academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…

“They’re routinely diving down 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) below the ocean’s surface while holding their breath,” says Beltran. “And the females do all of that while pregnant with next year’s pups.” bioGraphic Roxanne Beltran biographic.com/are-there-plen…


In their Special Issue Commentary, Roxanne Beltran & co discuss how coordinated efforts to combine trait & tracking databases will accelerate global ecological & evolutionary insights & inform conservation & management decisions in our changing world. journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…
