Welcome Glaucia Del-Rio, our new curator of ornithology! 👏👏👏 🦜🗺️ Along with her curator duties, she wants to establish a collection of cell cultures, both as a scientific resource and as insurance against extinction.
About @glaudelrio her work:

Check out this cool figure (made with the help of #phytools) in the recent article 'Multimodal signalling in manakins: lack of correlated evolution between acoustic, visual and behavioural traits' in @IBIS_journal by Sonia Ariznavarreta et al.: doi.org/10.1111/ibi.13362.

The more I teach science writing, the more I find that students best learn the basics when they have a concise example to follow. Here's my streamlined version of the ideal empirical paper, annotated with 14 important points. Let me know what you think. What should I change?

New paper in @EvolLetters (open access: academic.oup.com/evlett/adva…). Using dwarf kingfishers as a model, we believe we've constructed the most complete and explicit published framework explaining the underlying mechanistic causes of the classic "paradox of the great speciators".

Why do some raptors have more than one plumage morph? In a new publication in Ornithology, we outline what is currently known, and the rich research potential provided by plumage polymorphism in this group.

Excited to share my first publication from my dissertation with @ana_bosslady: we used genetic data from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest to investigate when and how ecological traits help us predict intraspecific population differentiation. Check it out in: doi.org/10.1111/ecog.07149

🚨New Paper🚨
A pleasure to share the first paper by one of my lab’s students!😍
Congrats to Leda Stefan thanks to her coadvisor dr. Thais Zanata.
Our sampling on the birds of Pantanal—the largest tropical inland wetland—is quite limited and biased.

Another paper by “global north” authors ignoring relevant data from the “south”.
(fortunately some of the experts they consulted ammended part of their results)
So here is another short and grumpy thread on “northerners” boycotting initiatives they have no hands on:

The biggest hummingbird in the world is a new species.
Now out in @PNASNews and 8 years in the making, here's how we figured it out with mini tracking devices, genomics, and a century and a half of museum specimens.👇
