Check out my new paper with @HowardRundle and undergrad Rebecca Janacek now online at @ASNAmNat! We manipulated parental age at reproduction of antler flies in the lab to see how that affected their offspring’s fitness in the field. 1/ https://t.co/2p5BtIEdOu

@rileyrethal It was weird growing up in Pennsylvania, which uses an iconic geometric shape (the keystone) to represent itself, and going to other places and being like, "You just put An Ohio on your sign??"

I've been thinking of leaving twitter for a while. Goodbye! Be good to each other, but not to bigots :)

The best supervisor, Russell is both a lovely human and great intellectual mentor. Plus, the neriids are a great system. Get in there PhD candidates, a great opportunity.

@wildwoodsgames For the cards, the most extreme results become more unlikely/impossible. For every 10 you pull in a draw, your chance of the next card being a 10 is decreased. And you can't draw five 10s. Around the middle, I suspect that the results shouldn't be very different from dice.

@TurfEnto @mskvarla36 Left looks like a caterpillar to me (Noctuidae maybe?), not a fly. Right is a tabanid larva.

@HonkIfUrHoary @bluejediforce @craniatology I always implicitly assumed that anti-TNR folks advocated culling as more practical and (in a way) more humane, which made some sense to me. Are you also against culling other invasive animals like wild hogs or mute swans? What should be done about them, if you have an opinion?

An example of mandible allometry in the stag beetle Cyclommatus alagari. All these jaws are from the same beetle species.

Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.

He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

@americanbeetles Here's a different version of the same idea from Richards 1927, "Sexual selection and allied problems in the insects":

@BloomingResear1 Both good guesses! The first one is correct :)
