In their new study of #primate #taxonomy, Creighton et al. find no support for the hypothesis that taxonomic splitting causes lineages to be listed as more imperiled - read the paper for FREE via https://t.co/WA6UKmzPn0 @M_J_Creighton @WileyEcolEvol

I am looking for students to apply for an internal PhD studentship at Liverpool JMU to work with me on behavioural and neural responses to social signals in the coop breeding daffodil cichlid fish. Please share and message me for details. @FindAPhD: https://t.co/EH5VxNqgRi

Wow! @raifinnedfishes shows how trini. guppies learn to respond to light stimulus with anti predator behaviours, + how this is acquired by other indv. but at different rates. Literally shining the light on eco & evol diff. among populations. @AFS_SciComm #AFSvirtual2020 #scicomm

[Raina Fan @raifinnedfishes]

Excited to attend my first @AmFisheriesSoc meeting! Swing by next week to hear me talk about social learning, alarm cue and fish brains! Looking forward to some fishy discussions. #AFSvirtual2020

[Mélanie Guigueno @MelanieGuigueno]

Glad to have finally joined Twitter! Encouraging enthusiastic individuals to join my lab @BioMcGill @mcgillu in beautiful Montréal, Canada. Looking for a new PhD student that will examine neurogenesis in avian brood parasites. Visit https://t.co/JKnDPIqXCk.

[Adam Reddon @adamreddon]

PhD (competition funded) in my lab with @peterfalkingham and Will Swaney looking at receiver responses to social signals using computer generated stimuli in a cooperatively breeding fish.
