New work by @SnellRoodLab et al. finds diversity of #BumbleBees & #butterflies in Minnesota roadsides depends on floral diversity & abundance, not native status: doi.org/10.1111/icad.12739 #OpenAccess @fuzzybumblebee

Students in my animal behavior course enjoyed using DataClassroom to figure out how to setup statistical tests -- and many liked how it links directly to R code!

Looking for a better way to have students begin to work with real data in your course? Come talk to @mr_reedy at our booth during the coffee breaks! #Evolution2023

CROSSINGS has its first official review, and it's a doozy from @KirkusReviews, which bestowed a coveted āļø:
"Goldfarbās follow-up to Eager, his award-winning book on beavers, is another illuminating, witty work... an astonishingly deep pool of wonders."

Check out our new review/synthesis on the integration of developmental features in evolutionary models.
Learned a ton with this one, led by @SnellRoodLab and part of special issue edited by @ecoevodevo_lab .

Happy to share that the chemistry of the black nectar of Melianthus is now published. It started with a discussion with @rachelvannette at a conference about this sp and finding out that it grew on the UC Davis campus, expediting the access to it. Haha! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/ā¦

March is just around the corner, and so are fox kits! With pup-rearing season coming up, foxes and coyotes are starting to move into dens like the one pictured above (note the condensation from a warm occupant forming the crystals on the snow above the den - someoneās home!).
