Professor of evolution and ecology, sucker for flashy birds
Joined November 2011
@Edwards_evoeco When I mentioned that male #sagegrouse often copulate with dried cowpies, I didn't do the situation justice. I will elaborate in a thread. @EffinBirds @ProBirdRights For most males, cowpie copulation is just an occasional indulgence. For others, it's a lifestyle.

My awesome sister!
I’ve heard lots of stories from readers about their experiences with my books - but anecdotes about families reading Toot always make me laugh extra hard! What is your favorite memory reading Toot?

It was a fun challenge to write about what I see as the most interesting and important advances in the field of animal behavior in the last 20 years and where it’s going—in ~1200 words with ~10 references. Apologies to the many great ideas and studies I missed!
Animal behavior is notoriously complex. @GailPatricelli looks at how technological advances in #BehavioralEcology have enabled the study of variability over space and time, allowing a more holistic view of this complexity. https://t.co/XQa5W9WSID
