Excited to share our latest paper on lizard contests and agonistic signals! Read on for a daydream on how being a lizard could be like, disguised as a discussion on the relative impact of static colour patches and behavioral displays in animal contests 🧵

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! https://t.co/J5HekY1Pc0

1/5 Aves de todo el mundo usan una misma alarma para alertar de la presencia de parásitos de cría Han estudiado a 21 especies de 9 familias, separadas por 50 millones de años de evolución. Quizás lo más interesante es que la alarma es aprendida. (paper) https://t.co/4m7TaRNLyg

New paper out! Growing up, wall lizards undergo a UV-visible “awkward phase” (who doesn’t?) that we can’t see—but they can. These ontogenetic color changes may mediate juvenile–adult interactions by delaying the onset of adult social signals. #colsci https://t.co/MNtP9xSnbk

Same lizard, different colours. If that made you nostril-laugh a soft lol, our work here is done. Took @DelacruzFerran and me 4 years to crunch the numbers. @JZoology @ICBiBE_UV https://t.co/OZotM1lWGT #colsci #lizard #science #iridescence #sensoryecology

I have a cool story to tell you about lizard iridescence, but lets better do it among butterflies :) https://t.co/A1eCXljFRa

Studies based on 28 Greenland sharks determined by radiocarbon dating of crystals within the lens of their eyes, say that the oldest of the animals had lived for 392±120 years and was consequently born between 1504 and 1744. https://t.co/P8pb16S0rY

The Datasaurus Dozen is a collection of thirteen datasets that, despite having nearly identical summary statistics—such as mean, variance, and correlation—exhibit vastly different distributions when visualized. This underscores the critical importance of graphing data to uncover
