Many wild populations are fragmenting and declining, leading to inbreeding.
We are studying how animals avoid inbreeding and the consequences of inbreeding an in a >20 year study of >20,000 wild mice with whole genomes.
We are recruiting a postdoc at Columbia and two PhD students in U Zurich.

I’m *delighted* to share that former lab member @avigayillev.bsky.social was awarded an NSF GRFP! She has traded the fruit flies for spiders, but this is SO well deserved!
I’m looking to hire a postdoc. We’re interested in the evolution of organs and cell types, and evolutionary and developmental genetics more broadly. Please reach out if you’re interested and please pass on to any folks that you know who might be! 🪰🧬
In the springbok #mantis, males fight back against sexually cannibalistic females by stabbing them during mating struggles. This #RSOS research reveals that, while the stabbing does not kill females or change their fertility, it does cause them to delay or avoid future mates: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
Fascinating PhD project on the match between insect sperm and eggs across different insects. Great team too!

Flyer advertising special collection of stories for Frontiers for Young Minds. We invite expressions of interest for a curated collection of short articles on animal behavior to be published in Frontiers for Young Minds, an open-access journal for readers ages 8–15. This international collection, developed in collaboration with the Animal Behavior Society, will introduce young readers to how scientists explain behavior using Tinbergen’s four questions. Each article will be co-authored by a researcher and an undergraduate, with an emphasis on clear, engaging communication. Articles will be ~1,500 words and designed for a broad student and classroom audience. Contributors will work with an undergraduate co-author and participate in iterative editorial development prior to submission. We anticipate selecting approximately 10–12 articles, depending on the strength and diversity of submissions.
Do you love animal behavior & want to share that joy with younger folks?
Write a short article on animal behavior for Frontiers for Young Minds (ages 8–15), co-authored with an undergrad! Part of an international ABS collection. Expression of interest due April 30.

New preprint from Mabel Sydney, Tracey Chapman & me:
female diet choice when there's harassment from males plus social information:
doi.org/10.32942/X2G...
Sperm can “age” independently of the male, when stored in male or female reproductive tracts. Our meta-analysis finds widespread evidence across animals (including abstinence in men). Important consequences for fertility, sexual selection, haploid selection!
