Wrens, nuthatches, and treecreepers are members of Certhioidea, a group of generally small but highly charismatic birds. One of my favorite songbird clades. https://t.co/IGdV7Nmzqg

[Journal of Evolutionary Biology @JEvBio]

@WhoTookTimfeld & @fkbarker compared songbird sister clades across Eastern & Western Hemispher - individual American clades experienced opportunity, constraint, or neutrality following their dispersal, independent of the older suboscine clade

Diversification of certhioids (treecreepers, nuthatches, wrens, and kin), including a new name, Orthourae, for the gnatcatcher + wren clade: https://t.co/LNEN4N8jol #birds #dinosaurs #PraiseToPasserines

I don't trust 96% of landscapers & for no fault of their own. The market demands them to produce garbage. It's almost not their fault. Any landscaper who mimics actual nature wouldn't be able to make a living in the current culture. Maybe in another decade or two. More below :

@brown_birds Great to see you and so many other bird folks in the audience this morning!

@coereba It's a few years old now, but I love this paper and regularly use it when teaching my scientific writing seminar: https://t.co/5xbQfChWhH. Cool mix of observational and experimental work to quantify the extent of competition between songbirds and ants in the Himalayas.

SO incredibly proud of my @RegisUniversity Biology students tonight! MS student Kaily presented her work on flicker hybridization and won best talk at the Biology Research symposium, and undergrads Brittany & Isaac rocked their poster on impacts of sex-biased specimen sampling.

I am incredibly excited to announce that I will be joining the faculty @UMNFWCB as an Assistant Professor and the @BellMuseum as the Curator of Ichthyology & Molluscs in Fall 2023! I cannot wait to continue my research on freshwater fishes and head back to the Midwest!

Referring to humans as an invasive species is 1) Ascientific and is 2) Ahistorical.

Humans are a migrant species. The only aspects that are invasive are the parts of our culture that rely on high consumption with little to no balanced return to the land/ecosystems

Cincinnati chili (Cincinnati, OH)

This dish has little to do with chili con carne and is a Mediterranean-spiced meat sauce served over spaghetti or hot dogs with oyster crackers. Common orders include a “3-way” (add cheese), “4-way” (add chopped onions), and “5-way” (add beans).

@Sternarchella Dude, congrats Kory! That's absolutely incredible and so totally well-deserved.

Ninety years ago, a Regis professor and a team of students unearthed mammoth bones outside Greeley in what became one of the state’s most significant archeological discoveries. Read about the Dent Site in the latest Regis University Magazine: https://t.co/XUerNNB3Zi

Super excited to see this one out! First paper started post Covid. And the result of some amazing undergraduate researchers!

Finally, we want to give a huge shoutout to the museums, curators, and collections managers who helped make this work possible, including the @BellMuseum, @LSU_MNS, @FieldMuseum, and @AMNH. Remember folks, #CollectionsAreEssential! (9/9)

[Tyler Imfeld @WhoTookTimfeld]

Three posters, two conference talks, and some peer review later, one of my dissertation chapters just went online at @JEvBio! @fkbarker and I are so excited to share this study about the macroevolution of songbirds in the Americas with you. (1/9)

[Tyler Imfeld @WhoTookTimfeld]

Altogether our study suggests, with a few notable exceptions, that continuous diversification and trait evolution appears to be the norm for songbird clades in the Americas. Even between clades as disparate as swallows & crows, wrens & thrushes, and so on! (8/9)
