@evoecolab @urbanevol I can get a good deal for this rare one of an ivory-billed woodpecker. Just say when.

Our cool bird poop 💩 metabarcoding DNA analyses led by @slrogers27 and the @lesleybulluck lab revealed some interesting diet items 🪰🦋🐛🐚🕷 across an ever-increasing anthropogenic landscape 🤔

Our preprint on nestling PROW diet using fecal metabarcoding is out in @AmOrnith We found that nestlings have a wide diet but aquatic prey may be especially important for development, but they may be declining due to human activities.

@hollybik Did they follow the "where one door disappears another door appears" rule???

@joelmcglothlin @evolscientist Every plot is actually a data point within a bigger plot

@3rdreviewer Mischief night, hoagies and sneakers. 100%.

@evoecolab @PetrovADmitri Now if we only had a paper out there discussing why "preadaptation" can be confusing...

@evoecolab @PetrovADmitri I think of three scenarios, with terms describing processes/units that (1) we don't fully understand like "epigenetics" and "plasticity", (2) have changed over time like "gene", (3) we understand but for which we misuse like "population", which I believe can be most confusing

@evoecolab @Dolf_DeJong Soooo, 113 species?

@evilsmaug @3rdreviewer Spoiler alert: her sister is the axe murderer

@3rdreviewer Funny. Submission 01, Submission 02, Submission 03 magically works too.

Maybe incompetence doesn't keep people from thinking they're incompetent after all

@evolscientist I also like when a reviewer suggests the research could be improved by working with a particular author. And that author is already on the manuscript. And it wasn't a double-blind review.

@3rdreviewer I'm looking forward to when I can break out rubberbands again to keep my socks up

@evoecolab And sometimes it just takes awhile for the superglue to wear off

@urbanevol @janecoaston Next you'll tell me The Simpsons, which started when I was in high school, is still running...

[BCVerrelli @TheRealVerrelli]

@3rdreviewer @AlTheBoss03 Beast. Among many records, still holds most leadoff HRs, unintentional BBs, runs and of course steals...which is 50% higher than 2nd place 🤯🤯🤯

Because of $$ crunch, Uni just cancelled 1,976 Springer journals and saved $4.3M. That's just Springer. 1,976. People, that's disgusting.
