We also show higher body temperatures were selected for - again this was independent of growth.

We find negligible heritability of body temp and strong effects of the natal environment after thermal independence. We also show correlations in body temp between early and mid stages was explained by natal environment effects. Importantly these effects were independent of growth.

We conducted a cross-foster experiment and measured surface body temperatures using thermal imaging throughout the nestling period.

From policy to practice: progress towards data- and code-sharing in ecology and evolution | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Data and code are essential for ensuring the credibility of scientific results and facilitating reproducibility, areas in which journal sharing policies play a crucial role. However, in ecology and evolution, we still do not know how widespread data- and ...

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB!

We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals

We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).

Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5

How do our own biases impact the way we design and interpret research in #AnimalBehaviour and beyond? In our new @ethoges.bsky.social paper tirelessly led by @lucywinder.bsky.social, we discuss where #bias comes from and how we should approach it going forward. Check it out 👇
