Our new paper is now published in Animal Cognition !!! Dr. Hannah Rowland 🐛🐤 & Uwe Mayer We show that domestic 🐥 INNATELY avoid red stimuli, and prefer the shape of a frog over a sphere when both stimuli are green link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/4
Really cool paper by Jenny Stynoski & Sofia Granados about skin sucking behaviour of Oophaga pumilio tadpoles on their mom 🐸 Check it out! (Picture from the paper)
Great news: I’m opening a research group to study behavior, ecology, and biomechanics of Opiliones and other arthropods from Central and North America, and beyond (?). We’ll be based at UIC Department of Biological Sciences Contact me if you want to hear more! And feel free to spread the word. Pura vida!
Our 🚨 new paper 🚨 has been published in the British Herpetological Society’s Herpetological Bulletin. We described a potential antipredator behavior in a captive poison frog after simulated predation 😃 doi.org/10.33256/hb166…
Our 🚨new paper🚨published in Zoomorphology about the development of granular glands in three bufonid species 🐸. When tadpoles start synthesizing chemical defenses is still unclear ❓ doi.org/10.1007/s00435… The conclusion of my licenciatura with my excellent advisor Jenny Stynoski
Still time to apply the for two postdoc positions open in my lab at VT Biology! Application review starts soon (Jan 31), but we'll review applications until both positions are filled. Tell your friends! Job ad: tinyurl.com/mt28bdky Application link: tinyurl.com/3xs7tp23
Le preguntamos a la Nobel de Física (2018) Donna Strickland 🧑🔬🔬🧪🔭 consejos para ✨niñas que quieren ser científicas✨ y esto nos dijo. Con el apoyo de la Sociedad Científica Antonio Alzate. #MujeresEnLaCiencia #Física #PremioNobel
For all people who struggle with academic writing, Loisa Lagisz and I share our experiences and secrets, which helped 50+ students publish their first papers. Please share with your colleagues!

🚨Postdoc position - RT pls🚨 Do you have remote sensing skills and are interested in socio-environmental research in Amazonia? 🛰️🌎🌴🌳🌴 Check this exciting 3-year position with amypenfield: bit.ly/pdra1-infracur…
Join me on Monday 9:30am EST at William Hall or on Zoom (DM for password) to learn about my Ph.D. work conducted over the last years at La Selva Biological Station 🇨🇷Tropical Studies, focusing on how fruit secondary metabolites affect bat physiology and foraging behavior 🧪🦇🌿
How do frugivores balance nutrient consumption and toxin avoidance? Our new study reveals bats prioritize nutrient acquisition. Additionally, we showed that some toxins may decrease protein absorption 🦇🧪🌿 Tropical Studies Estefania Morales Susan Whitehead doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4…
