Exicted to say that my third chapter, "The coevolutionary dynamics of cryptic female choice", is now out at @EvolLetters with my advisor @SuzanneAlonzo! https://t.co/d3oe7LPyZu. Here's a thread on some of the main findings.

Hi all! Our next seminar titled "Learning and Imprinting in Speciation" will include talks by Dr. Maria Servedio and Dr. Gabriel Jamie. See you on 12 November 5 pm CET. Link on the website. https://t.co/Aa5kgQjDkd

New paper out in @ESAMonographs with Karen Abbott on developing a flexible theory to understand the population dynamics of social animals! I’m extra proud of this one, which is something I've been interested in for nearly a decade. Highlights below: 1/10 https://t.co/tRU7ECaNUH

[Matt Kustra, PhD @m_kus_kus]

Really excited and honored to be a @UCBerkeley Miller Research Fellow! Looking forward to working with @fishspeciation over the next three years!

new paper from my @CUDenver lab in @PNASNews!

We use Nearctic dragonflies to how a trait related to MATING can expand ecological niches and buffer species against global change in exactly the same way as traits related to SURVIVAL

My first ever preprint! @tylercarrier_ and I hypothesized that reproductive manipulating microbes could shape the evolution of marine invertebrate developmental life-history. Using models, we provide insight into the conditions on when it is possible! https://t.co/KWmexkhRgV

[Tyler J. Carrier @tylercarrier_]

New preprint on how microbial manipulators—the aquatic relatives of Wolbachia—can serve as a mechanism to induce marine invertebrates to undergo transitions in developmental life-history.
