A flyer advertising an open PhD position titled "Evolutionary Ecology of Avian Energetics" at the Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Czech Academy of Sciences in Brno. It is funded by the Czech Science Foundation (GACR). The text outlines a project investigating avian energy metabolites using fieldwork, macroevolutionary analyses, metabolomics, and advanced statistics. It lists essential qualifications including an MSc degree, and offers a fully funded position with guaranteed income and student housing. Applications require a CV, a max 400-word motivation letter, and references, submitted via a provided link. Review begins March 16, 2026. The flyer features photos of field researchers, a bird being measured with a blood glucose meter, and a research team working together around a table.

Believe it or not, the owner of these MONSTROUS FANGS is a grass-eater, but they have a friendship with a meat-eating wolf.
Meet the gelada, (Theropithecus gelada), native to the Ethiopian highlands.
They're called 'bleeding-heart monkey' for the 'cleavage' that turns red in females in estrus.
I like to think it worked out as some sort of "bro code" arrangement where an Ethiopian wolf caught two geladas in the back of a car at the drive-in, and in exchange for his silence, let him crash on the couch & have free use of the refrigerator.
Free movie idea, btw, Disney.

Cool paper alert. Was trying to model the thermal performance curves of several farmed seaweed species and ran across this awesome, theoretical unifying paper: “A universal thermal performance curve arises in biology and ecology” www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Path diagram of a structural equation model with three latent variables called ind60, dem60, and dem65. ind60 has three indicators, dem60 and dem65 each have four. dem65 is regressed on dem60 and ind60. dem60 is regressed on ind60.
So, a thread about how I have learned #SEM in #R as a #PhD student in #StatisticalGenetics.
I’ve heard SEM be described as a “system of regressions”, but in addition to observed variables, we also have latent/unobserved variables.
We can represent these variables in a path diagram (lavaan.org) :

Restoring traditional herding practices in northern #Botswana has led to a huge decrease in cattle predation + retaliatory lion poisonings.
More #lion cubs are now surviving, with the lion population in northern Botswana up 50% over the past 4 years.

Science writing often describes species like wild pigs and rats as villains destroying ecosystems. But two ecologists argue this storytelling choice misrepresents how nature actually works and can justify harmful treatment of animals.

I saw this when it was a preprint? They have a unique version of the estimand-estimator-estimates workflow, will be useful for may biologists, not just ecologists. We need more case studies for ecologists to emulate and for norms to shift so "regression and storytelling" becomes unpublishable.
