Our new paper on disentangling coadaptation in pre-hatching care behaviours between parents, using experimental evolution populations of burying beetles. Published in @royalsociety @RSocPublishing https://t.co/TnQDnD5nKz

What looked like a hearing organ on a tiny stinkbug’s leg turned out to be something far stranger: a fungal nursery that mother bugs use to coat their newly laid eggs in protective symbiotic hyphae, shielding their offspring from parasitic wasps, researchers report in Science.

A new paper published in 'Science' by an international team including Professor George Turner, Professor in Zoology at @BangorUni takes us one step closer to answering the question of 'How ‘supergenes’ help fish evolve into new species'.🐟 ➡️

Very happy to get this paper published in @NatureEcoEvo on how divergent selection and plasticity promotes reproductive isolation in the early stage of speciation. Thanks to 1th author, former postdoc @bjmjarrett for this excellent collaboration: https://t.co/Nm5mlFpFI8

Divergent selection and plasticity both increase reproductive isolation during incipient speciation! You can find our new meta-analysis of experimental speciation studies here: https://t.co/gei64Vi0vg with @EvolOdonata and Philip Downing

Two fully-funded PhD scholarships @BangorUni in conservation social science. Deadline 5th May. If you have conservation scientists, geographers, economists, sociologists in your network do share. Details in thread below (1/?) https://t.co/YJHkyDc5LF

Heat stress effects on offspring compound across parental care: https://t.co/7ReWtp04to #ProcB #ClimateChange #ecology

15th March 2017 Canada geese had become a real problem for Trinity College, with the accumulation of droppings and damage to the lawns so, in desperation, the College placed plastic effigies of coyotes on the grass banks to scare them away. It didn’t work. From my book 'Cambridge

Please check out our new paper on how heatwaves affect fitness if it acts during both pre- and post-hatching care in burying beetles, but not if the heatwave acts during a single care period. Thanks so much to Tanzil Malik, Mu-Tzu Tsai, and the wonderful @SyuanjyunSun

We are just 10 days away from the Lund Thermal Biology meeting, covering everything temperature in across the tree of life 🌞❄️🐸🐦🐟. ALL talks will be live-streamed and registration not needed. Check out the conference website for the final program 👉 https://t.co/LMpzH6h7gT

📆 Join the @North_Wales_WT for their annual lecture at the Eric Sunderland Lecture Theatre, Main University Building, Saturday, 9 November. Follow the link for more information and to book your place 👇

Delighted to share our new perspective article @JEvBio: rising evidence suggests unexpectedly robust link btw micro- and macroevolution. It challenges past views of evolution and calls for interdisciplinary research. #Evolution #EvoDevo #Paleontology 1/7 https://t.co/HCPbhIqOVj

🚨 I've got a @PhdOpportunity for someone interested in social behaviour & threatened species - with hihi of course 🐦 Funding through @SalfordUni (sorry, UK only eligibility): https://t.co/9uMPjztLCh. Know someone who might be interested? Get in touch! #PhD #phdlife @AnimalOpps

The results of which spurred us to examine which components of parental care were particularly affected by warming with a cross-fostering experiment across the parental care period, which is now a pre-print:

The first paper of an exciting collaboration with @SyuanjyunSun and Tanzil Malik on the effects of warming on parental care in the #BuryingBeetle Nicrophorus nepalensis:

Excited that this pre-print about the evolution of reproductive isolation in experimental evolution studies is now out! This research was led by former postdoc @bjmjarrett in #SvenssonLab @Biology_LU @lunduniversity, now at @BangorUni (UK). https://t.co/5hquUpnmal

The UC Davis Center for Population Biology postdoctoral fellowship is now being advertised. This is a great opportunity to come join our wonderful community of Evolution & Ecology here at Davis. Please RT https://t.co/AMkwheF6sv

We are delighted to announce that @CWMillerLab will be joining the Department as a Professor of Biotic Interactions in October. Welcome Christine, we look forward to working with you! https://t.co/emIBgsMQXr

It's that time of the year again, @OfficialFPL Fantasy football! Come and join our ragtag league using the code nu2r54. Can anyone beat my father-in-law? (Looking at you @GMcLeanLeighton)

UPDATE: The 2024-2025 list of faculty and postdoc positions in ecology and evolutionary biology is out TODAY! Be sure to check out this active and helpful community run resources!

Excited to share our new paper out in @NatureComms! We used experimental evolution to understand how gene body methylation might evolve and participate in adaptive evolution. Great team effort with @PSarkies, @Jenni_Westoby & @BuryingBeetle! a 🧵: https://t.co/f68wNEVH5N
