My 4th chapter of my dissertation with @cowbirdlab, Niche Construction through a Goldilocks principle maximizes fitness for a nest-sharing brood parasite, is now published! (1/4) @RSocPublishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
🚨New preprint!🚨 We show greater fatigue-resistance in the neck muscles of brood parasitic cowbirds compared to one of their hosts, the prothonotary warbler. This result mirrors begging behavior, where cowbirds are able to keep their heads up longer than host warbler chicks.
Extreme fatigue-resistance in a brood parasite parallels a war of attrition in begging competition with hosts | bioRxiv @NickAntonson @fuxjagerlab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
AVOTREX is out: an open-access companion to AVONET containing morphological traits for ~600 extinct bird species and a phylogeny grafting these taxa onto the global bird tree to support future research on Anthropogenic extinctions. Hat-tip to many co-authors; led by @FerranSayol

I am excited to share our new paper published today @CellCellPress (link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jw%7ElL7PXq…). This is one of my favorite studies and took ~7 years to complete. In early 2018, we started the project, aiming at understanding the neural plasticity of the Winner effect. 1/6
Mating songs of Galápagos finches from a set of possible futures, played to territorial males, reveal links between adaptation and speciation. Check out our new study—led by Dr. Jeff Podos @UMassAmherst—in @sciencemagazine! ⬇️ Summary 🧵below! (1/10) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New from @katieschro8 @HealeyLab in @J_Exp_Biol, report that in zebra finches, brain cells in forebrain auditory areas are already selectively tuned to conspecific song before the sensitive period Nice use of cross fostering w/Bengalese finches journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/do…
Excited to talk about brain-controlling parasites at #icn2024berlin! Join me on Thursday at 11:45 am. Also looking for a postdoc to work in these #zombiewasps!!! Happy to chat about beautiful upstate NY and #teamwasp Please help me share @neuroethology
We just started a search for a postdoc to join my lab group to study honey bee microbes through some collaborative/interdisciplinary projects. We will review applications through Aug 19. Full ad here: igb.illinois.edu/sites/default/…
Seeking a postdoc with experience in histology, IHC, & microscopy to study brain-behavior relationships in dogs & foxes. Additional opportunities to learn MRI &/or animal behavior. Come join our multidisciplinary team at @HarvardHEB!😎🧠🔬 🦊🐶academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/13840
I wanted to share some great (& belated) news: the Green Lab will be starting in EEOB at Brown @EEB_Brown this fall! Lots of cool work to be done on behavior, biomx, and more, with some incredible colleagues! Thanks to all the folks who helped in the process to get here!

This is a series of very cool projects on the evolution of the avian vocal organ, for which I had the opportunity to contribute to. Birdsong and Human Voice Built from Same Genetic Blueprint. @jclarkepaleolab @MichaelChiappo3 jsg.utexas.edu/news/2024/05/b…
Heads up animal behavior researchers! Amazing opportunity: 3 3-year independent postdoctoral fellowships based in Panama at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Deadline July 15. Come collaborate with @livingingroups @MPI_animalbehav stri.si.edu/academic-progr……
Cuckoos—which lay their eggs in nests of other birds—have higher speciation rates when they lay their eggs in a broader range of host bird species’ nests, a new Science study reports. Read that research and more in this week's issue: scim.ag/78T
Very excited to share a news article about our paper on a nuclear genome of a little bush moa, the vision of the late Allan Baker @ROMtoronto, drawings by Wren Lu ‘19 @HarvardOEB Great help from friends #Maori #Aoteroa from whom I learned much abcnews.go.com/International/…
