Masters opportunity, for a South African student, on pangolin functional ecology in a dryland ecosystem. Please RT.

Had a lovely catch up with former School of Biological Sciences, Monash honours student and #BobWongLab member Jimmy Tanner today. Jimmy travels to exotic places like the highlands of Papua New Guinea and the middle of the Pacific Ocean for his job as an environmental consultant. I have serious job envy.

In 2018, three colleagues and I published a front-cover paper in PNASNews

It has > 170 citations as of 2022, and it was a success that might not have happened:

• We had $0 budget
• We had no PI (Principal Investigator)
• We had no credentials

[Here's how we did it] 🧵

We know that behavioural traits are important in invasions but can invasion act as a selective filter on such traits? ChappleLab Bob Wong + colleagues found lizards from 3 invasive ranges were more behaviourally plastic than their native counterparts nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congrats Lucinda Aulsebrook (cosupervised with Matt Hall) who submitted her PhD thesis today 🎉🍾🥳. Lucinda studied the impacts of pollution on life history traits in interaction with other environmental stressors (🌡, 🦠) using Daphnia as her model. School of Biological Sciences, Monash #BobWongLab

Why do some species evolve conspicuous coloration as a warning signal whereas other evolve this coloration as a sexual signal?

Turns out that ancestral diel activity can help explain this pattern.
