White-browed scrubwren female acting cryptically on her hidden nest in Australia
Out NOW in #new issue of #BehavioralEcology is #PhD student #YouZhou's latest great work:

Work done with #RobertMagrath.
#Playback #experiment to test how incubating females respond to aerial alarm calls, mobbing alarm calls and the footstep sounds of a nest predator.
Females rarely fled but looked around more actively after mobbing calls.

Anolis aquaticus, a species of small, semi-aquatic lizard is seen here being held in the hand of Allie Martin, a permitted researcher.
My intro is in need of a little update!Hello bluesky! I'm a #behavioralecologist and recently earned my PhD in @lindseyswierk.bsky.social 's lab, studying #antipredator #behavior and #thermal #physiology in #Anolis aquaticus, a species of diving lizard!
🦋 How do ecosystem characteristics influence the effectiveness of antipredator colour strategies, such as camouflage and aposematism? 🎨

Matador Bug Waves Colorful Legs to Deter Predators
Bitta alipes waves its red-leg flags up to seven times more often when praying mantids appear, and mantids never attack waving bugs. The paper was published in Current Zoology on 1 Aug 2025. getnews.me/matador-bug-waves-colorf... #matadorbug #antipredator
We don't care what anyone says, roleplaying OC x OC with a 14 year old is weird. It's REALLY weird.
Especially with how quick he was to accuse us of grooming Lamb when he knows that Lamb has a history of being groomed and that that's a fear of theirs.
