Successfully defended my masters thesis research this week on the recently introduced Lasius emarginatus in New York City! 🐜

Great news for all you feather folks! We quantified cort multiple times from the same pooled sample of feathers over 14 years and found no evidence of degradation 🪶 Comp. Biochem. Physiol. doi.org/10.1016/j.cbpa…

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 Glucose, ketones, and uric acid do not predictably/consistently reflect the intensity of chronic stress in house sparrows potentially due to tight regulation doi.org/10.7717/peerj.…

Super excited to introduce our new R package, "profrep", for quantifying Profile Repeatability of individuals' stress response curves! Install it directly in your RStudio console using install.packages("profrep") and find more information here ubeattie.github.io/profrep/

The first chapter of my MS thesis on Lasius emarginatus in NYC can be read in preprint now! I lot of hard work and collaboration went into this paper. We still have review to get through but I’m proud of how far it’s come! researchsquare.com/article/rs-369…

New paper out in Journal of Experimental Zoology A! We continued our investigation of stress and DNA damage in house sparrows and found that (1) damage during chronic stress is not uniform across tissues and (2) that damage during acute stress may be driven by corticosterone doi.org/10.1002/jez.27…

To complete her PhD, Ursula Beattie, Ph.D. will give one final seminar here at Tufts Biology on March 1st! DM us for room/zoom info!

Excited to share this story! We compared glucocorticoids in feather samples from an endangered Hawaiian duck and found that historical and translocated birds experienced lower physiological stress. Read it here: royalsocietypublishing.org/eprint/EX9QEAE…

Feather corticosterone is lower in translocated and historical populations of the endangered #Laysan duck ow.ly/uVBb50RQNlL #ProcB #Ecology
