Come geek out about #RCWoodpecker fecal sacs and genetics with me in the endangered species conservation symposium at 1:30PM in Nunn.
If you attend, tweet me and use the hashtag: #TWS2023 😁😁
Awesome presentation about increasing nest temperatures and hatching asynchrony affecting nestling survival at #TWS2023 by @_stans96 from the @c_lattin lab.
Looking forward to investigating a similar question with my #RCWoodpecker nestlings!
#SICB2023 talk from @_stans96: because birds usually manage synchronous hatching by not brooding until full clutch is laid, climate change can throw some interesting wrenches into the mix. Higher ambient temperatures can start incubating first laid eggs well ahead of schedule!
Telomeres, growth, & self-maintenance— the answer to eternal youth: @Wolf_SarahE & @rosvall_lab look at several tissues (brain, adrenals, blood, & liver) to assess the directionality & timing of relationships between growth & telomere length https://t.co/nj95m6VZOH
There’s still time to sign up! If you’re in the Baton Rouge area and know an inquisitive middle schooler, this is the perfect event for them! Register for this awesome, free STEM program at this link: https://t.co/OTJ6t0Pvzt @LSU_MNS @brown_birds
First first-author publication is out! Read about how neophobic and non-neophobic house sparrow brains responded to novelty. My favorite result is a neural activity difference in the hippocampus, which I am planing to explore in my next projects. https://t.co/8wC1zcSnuu
Here’s an idea to put Scholarship First: get behind the bill to remove graduate student fees in Louisiana. Previous provosts have said this would happen. Make it so @LSUpresident@LSU. Here’s the link: https://t.co/FRCbbq1tYL #FierceFees
In the chaos of prepping to defend, I forgot to share that a third chapter of my dissertation is out in @BehavEcol! Here we tested the 'classic' social aspect of the challenge hypothesis (does testosterone💪 go up after a social challenge?) in ♀️ birds https://t.co/2z5tPWnVVJ
New paper out with @rosvall_lab in @molecology's special issue on #telomeres in ecology and evolution! The telomere regulatory gene #POT1 maps onto fitness-related traits in a wild songbird. A🧵

Congrats to @Wolf_SarahE, on her latest publication on the ecologically interesting gene POT1 and its potential role in telomere dynamics. This was a lot of hard work, including 2 awesome ugrad @IU_CISAB#REU co-authors. https://t.co/3kzMXA0NTq

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
Scientists at SDZWA discovered two California condor chicks have hatched from unfertilized eggs. This sort of asexual reproduction, known as parthenogenesis, is a first for the species and provides new hope for their recovery. Read more: https://t.co/m5MZhqt21l
