We (including Sahas Barve 🇮🇳🇺🇸 Dugdale Research Group) are excited to see our newest paper appear in PNASNews Our analyses provide a road map for quantifying indirect fitness as a powerful evolutionary force contributing to the costs and benefits of social behaviors. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A new PhD position is available in the sticklelab at the University of Groningen on animal personality as a driver of reproductive isolation? (Deadline: 30 June 11:59 pm Dutch local time) sticklelab University of Groningen Check all the details here 👇: rug.nl/about-ug/work-…

First results of my PhD research University of Groningen out now in Royal Society Publishing! Work w/ Dugdale Research Group Erik Postma HumanLifeHistory and Ell 🌺 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… 1/7

New paper by Lodjak et al.: IGF-1 receptor inhibitor OSI-906 reduces growth in nestlings of a wild passerine sciencedirect.com/science/articl… | General and Comparative Endocrinology | #ornithology

Heung Ying Janet Chik @janethychik on Birds in highly leaded #environments show stronger response to human gaze and higher vigilance #ASSAB2023 🐦‍⬛⚠️

And to close this session we have Frigg Speelman talking about the "Parental effects of pair fidelity on short and long-term offspring fitness in a socially monogamous bird" 🐦🐦 #ASSAB2023

⏰ 🧬 My first first-author paper is now out in Molecular Ecology! We conducted the first review and meta-analysis of DNA methylation markers of ageing, evaluating effects of experimental protocol on the performance of epigenetic clocks in non-model animals. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

The #SMBE2023 poster session was warm and sweaty (thanks to the Italian heat) but I found a lot of willing victims that wanted me to talk to them about our lord and savior DNA methylation in relation to ageing. And that's really all I can ask for 😁

Our preprint is available at doi.org/10.22541/au.16… More siblings and ectoparasites increase telomere loss in developing jackdaws Christina Bauch

Very happy to see this out!🐣mass, but not experimental manipulation of early environment, affected adult (♀️) glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in🩸& ventral striatum, but not across🧠tissues in zebra finches. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Behavioural & Physiological Ecology Group Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología IREC (CSIC, UCLM, JCCM)

Tomorrow 15:30 in Lecture Hall 2 Behaviour 2023. Evidence accumulates that birds use their olfactory sense in many contexts. But, could it mediate kin-biased begging behaviour when relatedness varies among competing nestlings due to extra-pair paternity? Join & find out!

Registrations for the annual NVG meeting are now open! We would like to welcome you from Wednesday 22nd November to Friday 24th November in Egmond aan Zee. For more information on the speakers, registration and the schedule, please visit: gedragsbiologie.nl/nvg-meeting-20…

Animals differ in how parental care is distributed between parents. Long & Weissing use evolutionary simulations to show that sex differences in care readily emerge in a characteristic manner that is not captured by current sex role theory. Xiaoyan Long nature.com/articles/s4146…

So happy to be back at the the #SEEEE23! It was a pleasure to be among friends and have the oportunity to present the results of our work just published in eLife - the journal (Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología Behavioural & Physiological Ecology Group ). Thanks for the interest! ♥️

Congratulations to Dr. LISHENG ZHANG on his #PhD thesis: The implications of adult sex ratios on evolutionary dynamics of dung beetles - Insights from Onthophagus taurus doi.org/10.33612/diss.… University of Groningen 👏 Wishing him all the best for the future!!!

Read this great #PhD thesis: How to prime your offspring: Putting behavioural ecology to the test pure.rug.nl/ws/portalfiles… Congratulations and best wishes for a bright future to Dr. MIRJAM BORGER !!! University of Groningen
