New paper out in @AnimBehSociety by lab alum @Saumya_Gupta1 on "Studying mate choice using inertial measurement units." It describes using the Customizable Recorder of Animal Kinesis (CRoAK...get it?) to study communication and sexual selection in frogs.

Op-Ed published today on how chronic disinvestment by the State of MN harms faculty, staff, and students at the University of Minnesota. MN ranks No. 20 among U.S. states in per capita investment in higher ed...that's behind AL, AR, GA, MS, NC & TN.

Shout out to @MegganCraft and some cool COVID-related research happening in @umncbs.
The @threeriverspark District and the @UMNews are studying the deer herd at Elm Creek Park Reserve. Crews are using helicopters to catch deer with a net. Researchers will then put radio collars on the deer and test them for SARS-CoV-2

Roadsides are not a passing blur for @SnellRoodLab + colleagues. They study how roadsides might provide critical habitat for monarchs+other 🦋🐝. With big implications for management, Snell-Rood connects w/ @MnDOT @MNBWSR @mndnr. Learn more @UMNresearch > research.umn.edu/news/roadsi…
Think vocal sacs are part of a multimodal courtship signal in all nocturnal #frogs? Think again! 🤔 New paper out in #AnimalBehaviour (@AnimBehSociety) with @UMNFroglab alumna Hongyu Li and Katrina Schrode!

Cool new study out by colleagues Paloma Gonzalez-Bellido (@FlySy_Lab) and Trevor Wardill (@trevorwardill)! And awesome cover in JEB!
A study by researchers from @umncbs and @ImperialBioeng shows how a tiny fly can skillfully maneuver around obstacles while chasing fast-moving prey. This can even help in efforts to design robots, drones, and more.
