A fascinating study by Luke Greenacre Monash Marketing, Adrian Dyer Adrian G Dyer, Jair García Jair García & Scarlett Howard Dr Scarlett Howard School of Biological Sciences, Monash and published in PLOS ONE has found that we process numbers faster when they are displayed vertically. theconversation.com/counting-from-…

Do people process numbers and numerical information horizontally or vertically? Find out in latest research in PLOS ONE journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Our paper on #biogeography of #shorebirds is out Nature Communications 🥳 doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
We show that birds from hot, tropical north Australia are smaller & have longer bills than conspecifics from temperate, south Oz. This is in line with #BergamnnsRule & #AllensRule 🧵 [1/9]

Adaptation to warm #climate best explains geographic patterns in #shorebird size and shape. Excited to share our new paper Nature Communications: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… #BergmannsRule #AllensRule #Evolution Centre for Integrative Ecology

During the #COVID19 #lockdown a group of pollination #ecologists from 15 countries collected data on plant & #pollinators in their own #gardens .
The resulting data set of 47,000 flower visits has just been published in JPE - Journal of Pollination Ecology

Incredibly exciting news while I'm continuing this work overseas. Thank you to Monash Science & School of Biological Sciences, Monash for this 'Apis accolade' and chance to explore the complex world of insect cognition.

Huge congratulations to all nominees and other Faculty of Science award winners 🎉

Very neat display honouring #Australia 's cuckoo bees in #Melbourne . All sorts of #invertebrates are scattered around including #cicadas , #bees , #spiders & #butterflies . It's always surprising but lovely to see invertebrates get recognition! 🦋🐜🐝🐞🦗🦟 🕷

Spider 🦀 have come and gone. This year was unsual in #PortPhillipBay because they did not aggregate for their moulting event at piers on the Mornington Peninsula, but on the Bellarine. Here are some photos of one of the most mysterious natural spectacle in the world! #WildOz
