I haven't posted in a while so here are some cute photos I took on the job at the UWM Field Station! #universityofwisconsinmilwaukee #UWmilwaukee

Great news: I’m opening a research group to study behavior, ecology, and biomechanics of Opiliones and other arthropods from Central and North America, and beyond (?). We’ll be based at UIC Department of Biological Sciences Contact me if you want to hear more! And feel free to spread the word. Pura vida!

This weekend I was able to spend time with local scientists and learn about their research at the Riveredge symposium. I was lucky to be awarded for the best poster presentation. I am thankful for all of those who have helped me to be where I am today.

We experimentally tested the function of a novel signal produced by some males of treehopper species. We found that the signal does not increase the response or alter the behavior of females or males Ignacio Escalante, @lacirino2, Sage DeLong, Camille Desjonquères ow.ly/nFJb50QG7i4

Here is to my last UW-Milwaukee symposium presentation. This time I opted for a talk. Thank you to everyone at the Rodriguez Lab, former and current members, for their support over the last 2 years.

#Postdoc #Job Alert! The Cook Lab is hiring! We are excited to hire a postdoctoral researcher to study the mechanisms of social behavior in a changing environment #academia #academictwitter employment.marquette.edu/postings/21269

New paper out! This was a great international collaboration between engineers and biologists. We reviewed the bio-inspired design of hard-bodied mobile robots based on arthropod morphologies: doi.org/10.1088/1748-3… via Bioinspiration & Biomimetics UIC Department of Biological Sciences University of Illinois Chicago

Very cool insects seen while doing field work

EXCITING NEWS! We are accepting applications for a special funding round - Women in Fieldwork. If you identify as a woman conducting animal behaviour-related fieldwork, we welcome your application for one of four grants of £400 each. Deadline September 1st, 2024. ⬇️

The end of an era! Dr. Cirino (@lacirino2 ) is leaving the lab to start a tenure track position at the University of Mary Washington. I am bummed that she is leaving, but I am also so incredibly excited for her! Next stop, Virginia.

Out doing field work with dm me ur bugs and saw this Opiliones chilling!

Are you hiring new field or lab personnel? Do you want your job adverts to reach more underrepresented students? We want to help! Fill out this form and ABC will circulate these positions among our mentees + microgrant awardees: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

So happy and proud of the research we did this summer and fall in the Chicagoland area! dm me ur bugs Sage DeLong

Two new papers out now in the same issue of [email protected] ! (1) Shannon O'Brien & I reviewed the robustness of Opiliones to leg loss. (2) Along with collaborators, we proposed how animals use robustness and adaptive control to move in an uncertain world. academic.oup.com/icb/issue/64/5

Hello everyone! I know it has been a while since I posted, but I just wanted to inform you that I have created a research website that reflects my most recent updates. It can be accessed at the link below or in my page description. sageadelong.weebly.com
