Wonderful workshop at Erice,Sicily! Sexual Selection in a Changing World organized by @DrKimor @PilastroAndrea @GilRosenthal Tamás Székely
We discussed how climatic conditions can alter sexual traits influencing adaptive changes and population viability
Excited to start a new journey as an Academic Editor at PLOS ONE, Editorial Board! It's a great honor for me. Thank you so much for offering me this position and I am glad to be working with @PLOSONE & @PLOS
team
Take-home message: our results support the hypothesis of a single magnitude system, as perceptual biases that influence spatial decisions seem to affect numerosity judgements in the same way.
New paper is available online at @SpringerANCO! With @umbj91, we investigated the influence of visual illusion perception on numerosity estimation exploring the numerical Delboeuf illusion in humans and fish.🧵Take a look here: https://t.co/75YtrHgmk2

Spoiler: Both humans and fish demonstrated numerical biases in agreement with the perception of the classical version of the Delboeuf illusion, with the array perceived as larger appearing more numerous.
Did you know #zebrafish can change sex as adults? Females that no longer produce oocytes can readily convert to a male, both phenotypically and behaviorally. To read more on this topic, check out this article by @bwdraper: https://t.co/kvcu6B18t1 #ZebrafishFunFacts

Furthermore, only when tested 7 and 10 days after spawning, females showed a clear preference toward the biggest of the two males. Thus, our study highlights the importance of considering female receptivity in future studies assessing mate choices.
Finally, the very first paper of my work at @DiBio_UniPD is available online ! With @AlessandroDevig and @CleliaGasparini we show that the female reproductive stage affects the strength and direction of female mate choice. A thread 🧵https://t.co/S9ty4zEmm6
We show that, when tested 7 and 10 days after spawning rather than 4 days, female zebrafish spent more time choosing, demonstrating an increased receptivity to males from one week following the last spawning.
