Kuangyi Xu (@KuangyiXu), a current EEB postdoc at UToronto and a former student in my lab, spearheaded this new dissection of the lek paradox. It often doesn't hold! https://t.co/q860qvcL5o

A new integration of genetic and ecological constraints on speciation with gene flow, led by Brian Lerch! @LerchEcoEvo @ASNAmNat

[Brian Lerch @LerchEcoEvo]

New paper out in @ASNAmNat with Reinhard Bürger and @servedio1: "Reconciling Santa Rosalia: Both reproductive isolation and coexistence constrain diversification" (1/11) https://t.co/uwMPCnVFvV

UNC is hiring in Plant Evolutionary Biology!

Our focus is broad. Topics of interest may include but are not limited to biodiversity, macroevolution, evolutionary response to global change, or evolutionary mechanisms.

To apply please see https://t.co/dZ4ZhecCpO

New paper out in @ASNAmNat with @servedio1 on the evolution of mate attachment! We study the conditions under which it is advantageous to become attached to one's mate. 1/7 https://t.co/4eP2Ck4czK

In the bird kingdom, foster parenting relies on deceit, but what happens when the deceived catch on? Read @cowbirdlab (ASRC's ED) and colleagues' recent paper in @EvolLetters to learn how their findings could predict related evolutionary changes. @GC_CUNY https://t.co/Lm0mCH5g8G

@BFKLab @EmilyHDuVal @Eliz_Hobson @clynfitzpatrick There's a lot of nice work on mate choice copying by this and other labs. The IA hypothesis points out that the observer female doesn't know what feature of a male the demonstrator finds attractive, and shows the evolutionary consequences of a likely form of mistaken inference.

[Maria Servedio @servedio1]

So happy to be a part of this work with @EmilyHDuVal @Eliz_Hobson and @clynfitzpatrick! We show that mistakes that females make when trying to infer what others find attractive can lead to the maintenance of variation in preferences and traits, among other cool patterns!

"I'll have what she's having!" Why do females choose particular mates? @EmilyHDuVal @servedio1 &co propose that mate choices rely on context-dependent social information, explaining major puzzles in the study of #SexualSelection. #PLOSBiology https://t.co/VZB2z2PoVf

Check out @LerchEcoEvo and I's contribution to the @HumBehEvoSoc August newsletter, where we break down our recent EHB publication, The influence of language on the evolution of cooperation. https://t.co/R8IU950pQ5

Sexual displays often increase predation risk, but the eco-evolutionary consequences of this pattern are largely unexplored. @servedio1 and I show novel evolutionary dynamics of displays can result from predation in our new paper in @PLOSBiology 1/7 https://t.co/KOiUcHSLIZ

@ASNAmNat @lukenweaver Congratulations on an excellent paper, that stood out from among many other amazing choices!!!

@evornithology @cowbirdlab The credit goes to Brian Lerch! @LerchEcoEvo

[Maria Servedio @servedio1]

We show that different predictions arise depending on whether selection (viability + sexual) is generally directional or stabilizing.

New paper online @journal_evo with @LerchEcoEvo
and @KuangyiXu! We provide baseline models for the evolution of preference strength during the Fisher process: https://t.co/U3hs2T0U7l

[Brian Lerch @LerchEcoEvo]

New paper out in @ASNAmNat with @servedio1! We extend a previous model on the evolution of same-sex sexual behavior (SSB) to allow coevolution with signals of sex identification. 1/9 https://t.co/JbBGLWdXBy

@joelmcglothlin Gotta love the pocket clip

[Maria Servedio @servedio1]

@joelmcglothlin Haven’t tried it! Let us know if you like it.

[Maria Servedio @servedio1]

@joelmcglothlin ?? Maybe this ??
