π¦ββ¬ April is peak bird season in Georgia, so expect to see and hear plenty of species the next time youβre on Georgia Tech's campus.
Fantastic species. I used to keep them a long time ago. Great choice! π¦π¦π¦

Congrats @thenaturedave.bsky.social on a great article and getting the cover -- and what a great species pic! The first klemmeri(?) ever on a journal cover??

The final "Early Career Researchers in Speciation"-themed seminar is coming up on the 5th of May!
This session features talks by Aryeh Miller on Anolis lizards π¦ and @rishidekayne.bsky.social on speciation research in industry π
+ we'll hear from Dr Mariana Braga about her career in the Q&A β
Woohoo! Congrats!! π
Very proud of my incoming PhD student, Joanna Baker, for receiving the NSF GRFP! She worked extremely hard on her application and I'm very much looking forward to her joining my lab @gtsciences.bsky.social this year.
I'm very happy to announce that I will be joining @jameststroud.bsky.social's lab at @gtsciences.bsky.social this June as a Postdoc Fellow! Super excited to join the 'zard hunt on "lizard island" and for all the excited research ahead! #anoletime π¦
@ggcostoya.bsky.social has signed! Can't wait for Guille to join my group as a postdoc this summer -- lots of lizard papers on the horizon!!

1/25 New paper out in PNAS! We show that the fitness costs of reproductive specialization, where somatic cells give up reproduction, scale inversely with organism size. Larger organisms can afford far more soma, removing a key barrier to multicellular complexity.
Yes! Outstanding!

Congratulations!!
We just published a review ποΈπ:
βThe ecology of adaptive radiationβ revisited: A 25-year reflection
Dolph Schluterβs book inspired the interest in adaptive radiation, and we wanted to revisit it.

Up now on YouTube: The Evolution of Darwin's Finches!
Renowned evolutionary biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant discuss their work on Darwin's finches, to understand how new species are formed.
Catch up on this incredible talk at the Linnean Society at the link below:

Peter and Rosemary Grant standing together in the Linnean Society library. They are smiling and in the background is a portrait of the Society's founder.
Renowned evolutionary biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant paid a special visit to the Society last week.
The talk was a fascinating insight into the Grants' work on the Evolution of Darwin's Finches, supported by @cloeucl.bsky.social and @evojlinnsoc.bsky.social.

Congrats again, @kimholzmann.bsky.social! π¦
The photo shows the cover of the nature journal, displaying a colorful moth sitting on moss. The caption says: Heat Sensitive. Tropical insects show limited ability to cope with a warming world.
Really happy that a moth made it to the cover of @nature.com! Thanks to my co-author Gunnar Brehm for this great photo πΈ
