Can't wait to read it! It seems like there will be some cool stuff that comes from that crappy time, at least... We also just submitted a paper born in October 2023 😂

Hi all. I am very excited that after 6 years I finally got my phylogenetic comparative methods book and online exercises online. Feel free to use and share. The book is here: nhcooper123.github.io/pcm-primer/. Note that it is not finished, we had to abandon it before the sunk costs fallacy broke us

Have you ever wondered what #wildlife does at #night?
How prevalent night-time activity/ nocturnality is? 🦇 🦉 🦗
How night-time conditions differ from daytime and between nights? 🌃 🌟 🌑 🌕️🌘

We, Almut Kelber & myself, just published a Quick Guide on Nocturnality @Currentbiology 🧵

Tagging @cambriannelids.bsky.social properly, and also thanking @atal-pande.bsky.social for all his advice and work!

Curses! I searched for @cambriannelids.bsky.social and somehow came up short 🙈 sorry Luke!

Thank you all! Also big thanks to @russellgarwood.co.uk and experienced HFSP-ers @mikebok.bsky.social, Dan Speiser, and Carsten Lüter for their advice on the proposal 💛

So excited to have received an #HFSPResearchGrant to study trilobite eyes with Luke Parry @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social and Gil Ju Lee (Pusan National University)!🥳

I'll be recruiting a postdoc @bristolbiosci.bsky.social - if 3D data, optical modelling, and fossils tickle your interest, stay tuned!

Have you ever asked yourself, how insect brains represent places? And whether insects do have place cells? Then move to Germany this summer and start your PhD in my lab. We conduct tetrode recordings from bumblebees that freely forage laboratory mazes. 🧠🐝#BeeSpace @erc.europa.eu @neuroethology.org

This figure is particularly *chef's kiss* - great work, really nice paper!

From our new paper out now in @currentbiology.bsky.social: www.cell.com/current-biol... w/ @neurofishh.bsky.social @gkafetzis.bsky.social @denilsson.bsky.social

Looking across animals, the vertebrate eye is an obvious outlier. Why is it so different that other highly visual animals?

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

A new systematic review has found that trans women on HRT have the same level of fitness as cis women and don't retain any advantage in sports.

Environmental assessments need to account for spectrum and brightness of light affecting sensitive species. 🌙

We map impact zones using "moonlight equivalent" measures accounting for species visual sensitivity, then apply spectral tuning and shielding.
