A study of starlings in Africa shows that they form long-term social bonds similar to human friendships.

Our latest superb starling work in @nature. We observe long-term reciprocal helping relationships, and suggest reciprocity is an underappreciated mechanism promoting the stability of cooperatively breeding societies. Led by Alexis Earl and Gerry Carter.

NYC subway now has private security to make sure people don’t sneak through gates. But guard told people to sneak over turnstile instead. They claim they are paid only to stop people at gates not turnstiles. WTF are you paying these people for @MTA ?
Last year of the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology focusing on Integrative Research Investigating the Rules of Life Governing Interactions Between Genomes, Environment and Phenotypes. Next year’s focus will be on Understanding and Solutions for a Resilient Planet.
Pretty sad when @Columbia faculty hear about graduation being cancelled from @nytimes and not from the President. Add it to her long list of failures...

Birders can get an HD video of an extremely rare half male-half female bird, but they can’t get a half decent video of an ivory-billed woodpecker? Hmmm…..

Generative AI is poised to change the way organismal and evolutionary biologists do science. In our latest preprint, we use these cutting-edge techniques to study the evolution of morphological diversty in butterflies and moths. researchsquare.com/article/r… @ShengFeng_Shen
