I want to take a moment to acknowledge international students:
The constant worry & energy spent working on immigration documents
Being excluded from funding opportunities valued for postdoc & faculty positions
And the emotional toll of being away from family

Big news! We received NSF funding and we're now looking for a PhD student to help us study the ecogeography of social behavior in fairywrens. The student will be co-advised by Dai Shizuka and Allison Johnson. Details here: fairywrenproject.org/2023/10…

Acorn woodpeckers stayed on territory longer and interacted less with other ACWOs on smoky days due to wild🔥 @HastingsReserve. #ACWO behav likely affected by ☁️🌫️ for many days/yr throughout their range. @Walters_Lab, @ODU, @UNLincoln, @CurrentBiology ,

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 plos.io/46EHVgN

Find an advisor who actually cares about you. Your experience will be 1000% better if your advisor cares versus picking one just because of the prestige of their name or whatever.

🤔 Did you know that ANBG's Superb Fairy-wrens (Malurus cyaneus) are some of the most intensively studied wild animals in Australia? Prof. Andrew Cockburn's team at the ANU have studied their mating behaviour since the 1980s - over 35 years! 😮
