I’m so proud of @bolaponte and @marelisanchus, newly minted PhDs; it is bittersweet to see you moving on.

Our bird eye color paper 🦉👀 has been nominated for best paper by an early-career researcher in @IBIS_journal! Please consider voting for it at bou.org.uk/ibis/ibis-best…, and check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ib…

Two fully-funded interdisciplinary PhD positions available in our lab! One on mechanisms of color production in diverse animals (🐦‍⬛🕷️🐟), one on acoustic camouflage in moths. Please RT or apply here: jobs.ugent.be/job/Ghent-Doct…

@evornithology @mdshawkey Kind of was thinking the same...

@mdshawkey can I do this

I'm on the market for a #postdoc position! If you or someone you know is looking for someone keen on behavioral #ecology, signal evolution (songs, colors, etc), and endocrinology, please let me know! Also quite keen on teaching, as an added bonus!

"Structure and function of the vocal repertoire of the Rifleman" from @looyenyi in J @FieldOrnith journal.afonet.org/vol94/iss4/art… Study of calls in this New Zealand wren from a species-poor suborder that's sister to passerines.

Today is my final lecture for my first full fledged ecology course. Bittersweet - I knew I liked teaching when I was graduate student, but this semester really cemented that

Update - It's submitted! I can finally feel the relief that I wanted to have last night. Better late than never.

@DMennill @SDobney2 @avianres @RyanNorrisSci @iBioUWindsor @ScienceUWindsor @UWinResearch @AnimBehSociety @SCO_SOC @AmOrnith @animal_prattle @NSERC_CRSNG Woah. That's very cool

Have you ever wondered if bird nests dampen sounds? 🎶🪺❓ I am excited about our team's newest bioacoustic investigation, led by @SDobney2. You can read Sarah's summary thread, below, and find our paper in @avianres here: doi.org/10.1016/j.avrs…

- Depression sets in. I've emailed the fine folk on the program officer team for the PRFB, but that was at 4:45 PM so I'm trying to be patient. Unfortunate - all my application material is timed stamped as submitted pre 5PM my local time. So... fingers crossed.

My time zone is still set to as central time (from my PhD). I'm Mountain. Ok, let's fix that. - No, you can't. Call NSF help desk. - Ok, I do. It is now 4:15 ish. They cannot change it, submit help ticket. - 5 PM rolls around, application not submitted.

- NSF PRFB due at 5 PM local time. NBD. - I go to submit it at 3 PM - turns out single spaced it too single spaced (no more than 6 lines per inch). Ok sure, I have time, NBD. Spend an hour cutting down content. - It is now 4:10 (ish). Go to hit submit. Error #2 -

Absolutely love this change.

Big news! We received NSF funding and we're now looking for a PhD student to help us study the ecogeography of social behavior in fairywrens. The student will be co-advised by Dai Shizuka and Allison Johnson. Details here: fairywrenproject.org/2023/10/26/wer…

We’re hiring a field technician to work with songbird physiology this summer!

Great opportunity for a funded PhD in birdsong natur.cuni.cz/biology/ecolog…

Finding a bird laying on the ground next to building entirely surrounded by clear windows is heart wrenching. On a university campus with students walking within inches of ending the poor thing no less. How is it 2023 and we have not systematically addressed this issue?

@evornithology Knockies

Let’s settle this once and for all

Karan Odom’s lab at University of the Pacific is seeking Master's students interested in studying the hormonal and genetic regulation of female song and evolutionary drivers of sexual dimorphism in birdsong. See karanodom.com for more information!
