Wonderful workshop at Erice,Sicily! Sexual Selection in a Changing World organized by @DrKimor @PilastroAndrea @GilRosenthal Tamás Székely
We discussed how climatic conditions can alter sexual traits influencing adaptive changes and population viability

Do you study animal #coloration using #spectrophotometry?🌈We evaluated the repeatability of different color metrics of hue, saturation & brightness. Metrics based on visual models were the most consistently repeatable in different tissues🐦Paper: rdcu.be/cUdSp #colsci

Another remarkable example of tool use in ants: fire ants “paving” sticky surfaces. I’ve seen signs of this behavior, but I didn’t expect it to be so robust until my friend told me about it (Wang et al., 2021 Insect Science).

We are recruiting a PDF (or PhD) @UCalgary to study adaptive variation in endangered caribou. Really cool conservation genomic project for someone interested in movement ecology, adaptive differentiation, or pedigree-free quantitative genetics in wildlife. Please share!

Understanding if sperm are attracted by Female Reproductive Fluid (FRF) has been on our mind for a while (@CleliaGasparini and @SilviaCat_telan). But how can you combine tiny liquid volumes with short-living sperm? We show it here: mdpi.com/1277564 via @MDPIOpenAccess
