for now I am not deleting this account but I am slowly transitioning to another place that is a nice place for birds to fly if you know what I mean. 💙🌅
over there I finally can spell the word "early" correctly in my screen name. wild.
What a cool paper! 🤩 Using @inaturalist observations, @eco_mayer & Co. found that there are more melanistic snakes in colder regions than in warmer ones AND that melanistic snakes are more abundant with ⬆️ avian predator density 🐍🐦 Have look at it here: https://t.co/DNkqxkRBu5
I don't use this platform much anymore, but I'm happy to share our work on sexual selection and the genomics of speciation in barn swallows. Thanks for reading and sharing, if of interest!

My student Griffin just sent me this profoundly sad photo of a Great Bowerbird bower. The painting on the right depicts what the bower should look like, filled with pebbles, shells, and bones. Nowadays, the birds use what they can most easily find in their surroundings: garbage.
I’m thrilled to share some exciting highlights of our collaborative work in Mexico 🇲🇽, all thanks to our amazing partners!
