Ever heard of the Nous Group? A consulting firm that desperate universities hire to help with cost-saving and restructuring? Turns out they are actually vampires who parasitize tertiary education: drive.google.com/file/d/1_1Fk...

I gave a symposium talk at the European Society for Evolutionary Biology 2025 (#eseb2025) meeting last week and this was my title slide showcasing how I was speaking as an independent scientist because @dalhousieu.bsky.social @dalhousie.bsky.social has locked us out.

Amazing talk by @jennyperry.bsky.social bringing together signalling theory and socially transferred materials. Keep your eyes peeled for the eventual paper with @steveramm.bsky.social @elvarobinson.bsky.social and myself #ESEB2025 @socialtransfernet.bsky.social

This is a cool study!

3️⃣With talented undergrad student Isabelle Hoversten we examined what female crickets 🦗 do when cues about mate availability are mismatched. Out now in @canjzoology.bsky.social. (Isabelle is now a masters student with @jennyperry.bsky.social!) cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Effects of mismatched mate availability cues on reproductive investment in female crickets

Animals use cues experienced during early life to adaptively adjust their phenotype to the social environment they will likely experience. However, since animals often use multiple cues to assess the ...

Thanks Chris, a very interesting idea and we incorporated it into a trial this afternoon! Stay tuned..

For this study we want to allow access for semi aquatic insects so we can assess their contribution to decomposition - the bag idea sounds excellent though for general/bacterial decomposition though

Congratulations Joris 🎉🎉

Ecologist friends: we want to measure the rate of decomposition of animals (fish & insects) on the water surface. Tips & tricks welcome !
Can measure mass loss, but tricky with soggy things
