@JustinEastwood9 highlights that the association between Telomere Length and survival depends on the life stage for which survival is measured. https://t.co/p6JYG8f9tx @AranzNataly @AP_BirdBehavEco @Roasty247 @colourfulmarie #MonashEvolution #MonashEcology

An important paper if you are considering tracking birds - #PLOSONE: Geolocator deployment reduces return rate, alters selection, and impacts demography in a small song ... https://t.co/fn3nT4O4TT

There are two #PhD positions currently available in our BEEB research group. https://t.co/EOR4NUYjwk Heat stress in Superb Fairy-wrens. #SFW #Superb

Well said @kirstyjean 👏🏻. Addressing (IMO) one of the biggest problems in #peerreview : the reviewers. Negative results can be just as interesting as positive, and the response described in this thread is bad for science

New paper: male purple-crowned fairy-wrens use their purple breeding plumage to signal social dominance and competitiveness to other males (and not to attract extra-pair partners)! https://t.co/v7dabso2JI
Check out a summary of the study here: https://t.co/WscjYh1AJH

@WillSowersby Thanks @WillSowersby!! Very proud of this one!
