HIRING! Come postdoc in the beautiful southwest 🌵 I'm recruiting a postdoc to work on mammalian microbiomes and physiological ecology. More info in the ad below 👇 / contact me / apply here: tinyurl.com/petrullopostdoc

📢Out today! @dmdelane and my new paper in #ProcB w/ @ben_dantzer, @McAdam_lab, Boutin & Lane shows that early-life adversity reduces adult lifespan in @KluaneSquirrels... unless they encounter a food boom in later-life. Open access here: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… 📸 @dmdelane

📢 New early-life effects preprint out w/ @dmdelane @ben_dantzer @McAdam_lab Stan Boutin & Jeff Lane testing if a resource pulse buffers individuals against the longevity costs of harsh early-life conditions (spoiler = it does) @KluaneSquirrels biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are hiring a post-doc to work on invasive and urban wall lizards here in Ohio! It’s a two-year, NSF-funded position including research and teaching, especially focused on those interested in pursuing a career at a PUI. Full details here: tinyurl.com/4f56up8a Please RT!

In a changing world, are animals picky about what ecological shifts they hormonally respond to? We (@dmdelane @ben_dantzer @McAdam_lab & more) address this question in our new paper out today in @HormBehav featuring @KluaneSquirrels 👇 authors.elsevier.com/a/1fr58,QxXgi6W

@cjheiden6 That is mind blowing! I can’t imagine moving that far along and being able to do so with a childhood teammate.

@arunsethuraman @Evol_mtg @turtlemcgaugh @Weisrock @CalebKrueger14 @NthChapter @CheloniaGirl @BLBodensteiner @chrisopod @LukeHoekstra Not me this year. Have fun!

@CalebKrueger14 We have one big (unsure on dbh) sugar maple at our new place and I want to tap it next spring, even if just for the experience!

@dmdelane Maybe 2.5-3 feet? They’re some big old trees

After a mere 13 hours of boiling, voila! ~11 gallons of sap turned into 4 cups of syrup. Here’s half of it:

@CalebKrueger14 Roughly what diameters were the trees?

And here’s the full lineup of syrup we’ve gotten from two taps this year! The rest of this recent batch got mixed into the 2nd and 3rd from the left, but I think on its own, it’s the best looking of the lot

@McAdam_lab The beans rule pre-noon subconscious decisions!

Consequences… #GhostTown

#PIFail We are out of coffee beans in the lab.

PLEASE RT. 🚨New paper🚨 "Evolutionary allometry of sexual dimorphism of jumping performance in anurans" Highlights: 1. New proxies for jumping 2. Test new hypos. for size and jumping dimorphism 3. Discuss 'many-to-one' mapping of selection to fitness!!! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@mellooyellow I loved LOST. I tried to watch it a second time, but couldn’t replicate that first time through.

I just finished LOST for the first time and the finale rules. Thank you, no questions.

This is such an impressive analysis of the abiotic factors that stimulate nesting of painted turtles while accounting for physiological constraint, zero-inflated data, and collinearity among predictors. Great work by @MorganRMuell and @NthChapter! meridian.allenpress.com/journal-of-her…

I'm interested in adding more voices to StatsTree.org. If you have a brief video case study of how you have used #stats in your own research, I would love to include it! See @dmdelane video on painted turtles and mixed models as example. #delaney" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">statstree.org/mixed-effect-m…

This Friday Anne Charmantier will be talking about the phenotypes and (epi)genomes of urban birds! Live stream on YouTube: youtu.be/9XfrkUIK77I Look up your local time: timeanddate.com/worldclock/fix… Q&A on Slack: bit.ly/EvoEco2

@MorganRMuell Congrats!!

Passed! I am a soon-to-be Master of Science!

I am anti fascism (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism). #BlackLivesMatter

@MorganRMuell @cosamau Heck ya!!!!!

A rather belated announcement, but I’m thrilled to say I’ll be starting my PhD this fall at Auburn University with Dr. Dan Warner! We’ll be looking into the evolution of developmental plasticity in Anolis lizards. Can’t wait to get started! @cosamau #WarEagle #WarDan

@bbk_95 Those morels from this year?!

Sometimes you need to look C l o s e r

@NthChapter @ambikamath I suspect I am less qualified than Ambika! But I am happy to consider, especially if the study used a quantitative genetics approach. Email: dmdelane@iastate.edu

@ambikamath @dmdelane thoughts?
