Field work on behavioral ecologists' behavior in the concrete jungles of NYC is complete! Thanks for a wonderful conference!! #ISBE2014

Zuk: life is not all about rats and flies, model species can canalise our thinking #ISBE2014

Zuk on model systems: they can canalize our thinking. So move over flies, birds, and bees - arachnids are where it's at! #ISBE2014

@ISBE2014 Thanks for organising such a great conference, feeling very inspired! #ISBE2014

Zuk is killing it... #ISBE2014 http://t.co/8NjDGPLvwY

Marlene Zuk takes stage to give Hamilton lecture #ISBE2014 http://t.co/Fj54r53iRf

Araya-Ajoy has done interesting work on bird fertilization routes, EPP and/or WPP, & correlation to male aggressive behaviors #ISBE2014

Culumber: indirect selection may be what's driving male color polymorphism in swordtail fish + best designed ppt I've seen yet! #ISBE2014

'Octomom' sets gestation record - Nature Deep-sea octopus broods eggs for more than four years.

Wow! I think we have a winner for the most incredible mamma out there! www.nature.com/news/octomom-sets-gestat... #ISBE2014

Nowicki: monogamy in butterfly fishes may be driven by benefits of decreased territory defense & higher feeding when paired #ISBE2014

Sanderson: males selectively mate guard unrelated fems and fems reject related males in banded mongoose-mech for inbreed avoidance #ISBE2014

@MarkusZoettl Where do the evicted females go? #ISBE2014

@MarkusZoettl: a mole-rat sp kicks out females from social group who tend to show increased testosterone; fierce fem competition #ISBE2014

Bernal: frog-biting midges form mating swarms, use wing beats in courtship, and harmonically converge. Next up: how do they hear? #ISBE2014

ISBE banquet ticket for tonight available. Please see me at any time during day. #ISBE2014

Firman: exp evolution in house mice led to more densely packed seminiferous tubules in polygamous lines, BUT females prefer mono #ISBE2014

Leonard on loss of slug penis: "Not all apophallation is created equal." #ISBE2014

Do hermaphrodites make better lovers? One species of banana slug engages in reciprocal sex for over 12 hours #ISBE2014

Kazemi: imperfect mimicry achieved through signal salience - colour more salient than pattern or shape and learned faster #ISBE2014 #colsci

One species of banana slug actually chews off its partner's penis!!! #ISBE2014

Cool! Three species of banana slugs that exist in northern Cali have different genitalia, courtship, and mating behaviors #ISBE2014

Nice modeling work by Rowe showing that rate of evol changes in sperm are faster in species with high rates of post-cop sex sel #ISBE2014

This conference is getting to my head. I just read 'congratulations' as 'copulations.'#ISBE2014

Thanks! They are amazing birds. RT @danielleklomp Kelley: amazing talk on Bowerbird display. Crazy show-offs.. #ISBE2014 #colsci

Telling male Nephila spiders to break a leg prior to sex just took on a whole new meaning #ISBE2014

Learning about sexual cannibalism in spiders. Who's ready for lunch?? #ISBE2014

Kelley: bower wall color affects female color perception of displayed objects on courts #ISBE2014

Oh good, we have an alternative hypothesis: the sugar-free daddy hypothesis #ISBE2014

The sugar daddy hypothesis. Are you testing it? #ISBE2014

Male fairy wrens pay more attn to song than plumage color in intruders;female preference for red males likely drives introgression #ISBE2014
