Just how 'natural' is competition? Is Darwinism limiting us? Competition as a central force driving evolution has been recently challenged Is it time to take collaboration more seriously not only in sciences, but in efforts to save the environment? slate.com/technology/202…

Prepping for our new fieldwork on sexual differentiation in survival and risk-taking behaviour in wild dragonfly larvae 😋 @yasmin02925505, our upcoming SQuID meeting in 🇧🇷, new 🐦 collaborations in 🇨🇳, and, well, the gulls, I just like gulls 🙈

Three happy 😊 students right after their first capture H. Evrim Yilmaz Yasmin Naz Akyürek & Steponas Stonkus (Not surprisingly, it was a common white face Leucorrhinia dubia; we found 15.000 excuviae 😋 of this species last year) 2/4

Was great to see old colleagues and meet new ones at the Ethological Society in Münster, and what a lovely audience for sharing Michelle Beyer ‘s work on spider chemical communication and for Phd student Yasmin Naz Akyürek to present her 1st poster… in a castle!

Ready to share my research outline at #BOU2024, aiming to answer 4 key questions at the intersection of gut microbiota(GM), behavior, and urbanisation in wild, using great tits as model. 🌟 No results yet, but excited for what we'll discover throughout my PhD journey! #BREAK1 1/6

So proud of my science sister elifkarakoc. Seeing how much hardwork and passion you put into this research at the field and then watching you present it has been so inspiring. Keep shining!

I arrived at the end of my first PhD fieldwork in Madagascar, leaving with a lot of memories and just enough data. 😄 Thank you Kirindy and Madagascar Biodiversity Center for hosting us and helping us do our research in this crazy red island. Amin'ny manaraka!

Not only a cool project but also an amazing city and university environment!

Hey students looking for PhD opportunities 👋 I'll be at ISBE2024 in Melbourne in a few weeks time & would love to chat to you about a funded scholarship I have looking at CHCs & sexual signaling in giraffe weevils & how climate change may affect them. waikato.ac.nz/research/find-…

Tomorrow!

Do heatwaves affect cricket males’ reproductive quality? Can females tell from the pre-mating display? How? Can YOU recognize which song belongs to the heatwaved cricket?? #SIE2024
