Congratulations to Todd Vision for receiving the @ASNAmNat Presidential Award for Outstanding Service to the Community, for his role in the development of Dryad! Read more about it here: amnat.org/announcements/…  #uncbiology #unc #biology #asn #award #dryad

Trevor Price, Professor of Ecology and Evolution, has been elected Fellow of the The Royal Society biologicalsciences.uchicago.edu/news/trevor-pr…

Excited to present my work on the evolution of mate choice behaviors in monogamous species at the Hamilton Symposium!

New paper out in Evolution Journal led by Iuval Clejan of the Ronin Institute with Chris Congleton. In it, we lay out a set of sufficient conditions for “group fitness” to predict evolutionary dynamics. Thread: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev…

New paper out in @ASNAmNat with Maria Servedio and Trevor Price, "Better to divorce than be widowed: The role of mortality and environmental heterogeneity in the evolution of divorce." Thread: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…

Science twitter - I'm gathering advice for a high schooler who wants to go into conservation biology. What do you think are the best undergrad programs for this? (General searches pull up programs with more of a wildlife management flavor, not quite the same thing).

Happy Halloween!

New paper out in @ASNAmNat with Maria Servedio! We extend a previous model on the evolution of same-sex sexual behavior (SSB) to allow coevolution with signals of sex identification. 1/9 journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…

Sexual displays often increase predation risk, but the eco-evolutionary consequences of this pattern are largely unexplored. Maria Servedio and I show novel evolutionary dynamics of displays can result from predation in our new paper in PLOS Biology 1/7 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Check out Brian Lerch and I's contribution to the HBES August newsletter, where we break down our recent EHB publication, The influence of language on the evolution of cooperation. hbes.com/language-and-c…

So happy to be a part of this work with Dr. Emily H. DuVal Dr. Elizabeth Hobson and @clynfitzpatrick! We show that mistakes that females make when trying to infer what others find attractive can lead to the maintenance of variation in preferences and traits, among other cool patterns!

In the bird kingdom, foster parenting relies on deceit, but what happens when the deceived catch on? Read Mark E. Hauber (ASRC's ED) and colleagues' recent paper in Evolution Letters to learn how their findings could predict related evolutionary changes. The Graduate Center ow.ly/It9u50Q4Ez7

Congratulations to our 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Dr. Ruth Shaw! Tune in to the virtual portion of #Evol2024 on June 28 to hear her award talk. evolutionsociety.org/news/display/2… @evol_mtg

New paper out in @ASNAmNat with Maria Servedio on the evolution of mate attachment! We study the conditions under which it is advantageous to become attached to one's mate. 1/7 journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10.10…

UNC is hiring in Plant Evolutionary Biology! Our focus is broad. Topics of interest may include but are not limited to biodiversity, macroevolution, evolutionary response to global change, or evolutionary mechanisms. To apply please see unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/288645

A new integration of genetic and ecological constraints on speciation with gene flow, led by Brian Lerch! Brian Lerch @ASNAmNat
