Excited to share our new #biorxivpreprint
We discovered that the fruit fly #drosophila erecta requires food odor to mate and arousal is further enhanced by social group motion.

🧬 New study out: we report a chromosome-level assembly of the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus! A launching pad for chemosensory-evolution research. Read more 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Humans and other animals take turns during conversations. In our new paper we study the aggressive visual conversations of betta fish. We discover how fish know when is their turn and how the telencephalon is not needed! 🧪

No doubt you will be stellar. If only I could do another postdoc, I'd apply in a heartbeat!
I'm thrilled to be opening my own lab this Fall at the @maxplanck.de MPI for Brain Research in Frankfurt. The lab is going to investigate the neuronal and genetic underpinnings of behavioral evolution. We are hiring on all levels. Don't hesitate to share widely and reach out if interested.
Introducing PowerLMM.js!
A new tool for power analysis of longitudinal linear mixed-effects models (LMMs) – with support for missing data, plus non-inferiority and equivalence tests.

Check out our latest paper on the behavioral consequences of adrenal evolution. A really fun project with a great team!
They did a great job with the illustration (it helps to have clear instructions 😉)
A really nice News and Views about our paper by @tollkuhn.bsky.social 🙏🏽

Excited to share our newest paper, in which we report our discovery that monogamous oldfield mice have very recently evolved a novel cell type in their adrenal glands that promotes parental care
Work led by the fabulous Natalie Niepoth and @jennymerritt.bsky.social 🧵

Welcome! No idea 😂
So much of sex difference research ends up being “Males are from Mars, Females are from Venus” with extra steps and bad statistics
