Really excited to have this out! Fantastic collaboration with @moss_etal who put a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and work into this over multiple iterations. Looking forward to testing some of these ideas in the very near future. #BEERGroupUTAS

Thrilled to finally be able to share this! In our review, @GeoffWhile and I explore various mechanisms by which shifting thermal environments could mediate shifts in social organization. ☀️🌍🦎 Check it out! https://t.co/fTbzRV3HAT

Two new Science studies on lizard coloration reveal how a delicate interplay of genetics, environment, and social dynamics can either preserve or erase polymorphic diversity in species.

How has live birth evolved when there are thermal mismatches between mothers and their offspring?
Our new paper @EvolLetters explores the role of behavioural plasticity in facilitating shifts in reproductive mode 🐍🦎

I am on the lookout for Post Doc opportunities in Sydney. I am particularly interested in Reptiles and Fish as model species, and evolution of traits in response to temperature. Let me know if you see anything relevant in the twitterverse! 🙏

@helenagreenvale @Erikwapstra @UTAS_ @lizard_lab Super excited to have you on board @helenagreenvale! Looking forward to familiarizing you with our social skinks. Also looking forward continuing our productive collaboration with MQ and the @lizard_lab on key aspects of this project.

It's the 25th anniversary of our little “advice” website for research students and postdocs.  Check it out of you don’t know about it.  It’s also the 25th anniversary of our little lab here at ANU. Can't believe it.

🚨 PhD Opportunity 🚨 - I’m looking for a student interested in population / evolutionary ecology to come join my group in @EcoEvo_ANU @BiologyANU as part of an ARC Future Fellowship! Come work with a fantastic team in a fantastic place! Please RT

[Stephan Leu @stephanleu]

One week left to apply (31st Jan). Full scholarship available. Join our team for this exciting lizard project.

[Mark J Hovenden @hovendenlab]

BIG NEWS, people... big news. We have a permanent position for a lecturer/senior lecturer in Plant Ecology here at the University of Tasmania, especially encouraging female and trans/non-binary field-based ecologists. Come collaborate! Please RT widely https://t.co/jwafCsYjQ5

[Mark J Hovenden @hovendenlab]

UPDATE: This position is definitely open to people of all nationalities. The earlier restriction mentioned on the position description has been removed. Please RT (again and thanks to all who did originally)! Applications close 29 January. #plantecology #academicjobs #ecology

[Daniel Noble 🇦🇺🇨🇦 @DanielWANoble]

Third time is a charm! After two COVID cancellations @anzscpb will be @EcoEvo_ANU. Early bird rego is in a few days but we’ll extend this to accomodate. This is a great, relaxed and fun conference! Come on out. And, tag along to #AES straight after. Canberra’s the place to be!

[Australasian Evolution Society @AustEvolSoc]

Our ECRs Research Awards for our 2022 conference are open!!

Submit a paper (or preprint) you’re super proud of, and you could deliver a plenary talk at this years conference!!
