Kuangyi Xu (@KuangyiXu), a current EEB postdoc at UToronto and a former student in my lab, spearheaded this new dissection of the lek paradox. It often doesn't hold! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26…

In the bird kingdom, foster parenting relies on deceit, but what happens when the deceived catch on? Read @cowbirdlab (ASRC's ED) and colleagues' recent paper in @EvolLetters to learn how their findings could predict related evolutionary changes. @GC_CUNY ow.ly/It9u50Q4Ez7

So happy to be a part of this work with @EmilyHDuVal @Eliz_Hobson and @clynfitzpatrick! We show that mistakes that females make when trying to infer what others find attractive can lead to the maintenance of variation in preferences and traits, among other cool patterns!

"I'll have what she's having!" Why do females choose particular mates? @EmilyHDuVal @servedio1 &co propose that mate choices rely on context-dependent social information, explaining major puzzles in the study of #SexualSelection. #PLOSBiology plos.io/46EHVgN

Sexual displays often increase predation risk, but the eco-evolutionary consequences of this pattern are largely unexplored. @servedio1 and I show novel evolutionary dynamics of displays can result from predation in our new paper in @PLOSBiology 1/7 journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…

We show that different predictions arise depending on whether selection (viability sexual) is generally directional or stabilizing.

Science twitter - I'm gathering advice for a high schooler who wants to go into conservation biology. What do you think are the best undergrad programs for this? (General searches pull up programs with more of a wildlife management flavor, not quite the same thing).

Nominations and self-nominations from the community are an important way of diversifying representation on our committees and in our leadership, but require participation from you! 2/2
