New work by @SnellRoodLab et al. finds diversity of #BumbleBees & #butterflies in Minnesota roadsides depends on floral diversity & abundance, not native status: https://t.co/pJUy67b45L

Do you have 15 minutes? And opinions about ecology and evolutionary biology? Consider contributing to a graduate student's research on principles used in bio-inspired design. Please RT and THANKS. https://t.co/ZofW2L3yp4

Students in my animal behavior course enjoyed using DataClassroom to figure out how to setup statistical tests -- and many liked how it links directly to R code!
Looking for a better way to have students begin to work with real data in your course? Come talk to @mr_reedy at our booth during the coffee breaks! #Evolution2023

CROSSINGS has its first official review, and it's a doozy from @KirkusReviews, which bestowed a coveted ⭐️: "Goldfarb’s follow-up to Eager, his award-winning book on beavers, is another illuminating, witty work... an astonishingly deep pool of wonders." https://t.co/AybwRuPCfr

Check out our new review/synthesis on the integration of developmental features in evolutionary models. Learned a ton with this one, led by @SnellRoodLab and part of special issue edited by @ecoevodevo_lab . https://t.co/8CsgYFIvgd

In this review, we provide a primer on the diverse ways that biologists conceptualize “development” in basic evolutionary models that link genotype to phenotype. From incorporating time and space,...

Happy to share that the chemistry of the black nectar of Melianthus is now published. It started with a discussion with @rachelvannette at a conference about this sp and finding out that it grew on the UC Davis campus, expediting the access to it. Haha!

March is just around the corner, and so are fox kits! With pup-rearing season coming up, foxes and coyotes are starting to move into dens like the one pictured above (note the condensation from a warm occupant forming the crystals on the snow above the den - someone’s home!).

Nice op-ed co-authored by @UMNFroglab: "Chronic disinvestment by the state is eroding the U of M’s workforce.... the U needs long-term plans that also emphasize people, not just property."
minnpost.com
The U increasingly relies on a temporary workforce of contract faculty that has increased by 50% since 2012 and now makes up more than 40% of the U’s faculty. These employees have PhDs, but they earn...

This is so cool!! "Weaker selection on genes with treatment-specific expression may limit plasticity evolution in Arabidopsis thaliana"
I'm super excited to share my first 1st-author publication with the world! https://t.co/qIj06qAth1 I and my advisor, @emjosephs, tested a hypothesis proposed in a 2010 paper by @SnellRoodLab

Roadsides are not a passing blur for @SnellRoodLab + colleagues. They study how roadsides might provide critical habitat for monarchs+other 🦋🐝. With big implications for management, Snell-Rood connects w/ @MnDOT @MNBWSR @mndnr. Learn more @UMNresearch >
