How genes shape birdsong, even when birds grow up far from home theconversation.com/how-genes-shap…

Read article by Samyuktha Rajan PhD student at Department of Zoology in The Conversation on how genes shape birdsong.

First male caught this season was a ringed fella, coming back to breed in the same nestbox we caught him in last year!

My lab Universität Tübingen TübingenNeuroCampus is hiring a PhD student (starting as soon as possible), and postdoc (starting mid-2025) to work on neuronal mechanisms of birdsong sequencing. Please spread the word! uni-tuebingen.de/en/180099 Graduate Training Centre of Neuroscience

Congrats Marianne Dehasque! So excited to see this out 💛

📜 Exciting new paper lead by Kathi Schneider examining transcriptional responses to host plant switches in a butterfly species is out in Molecular Ecology! Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/mec.17… #Plasticityforthewin

Excited to share this work with Mario Vallejo-Marin on buzz-pollination biomechanics. We show that flower biting behaviour is an effective strategy to transfer vibrations of the thorax to the flower via the head! 🐝💐 Find out more here: cell.com/current-biolog…

Quantifying temperature’s effect on #diapause #termination requires fitting #TPCs to binary biological data. In our new paper, out now in #PNAS, we show how to do this, revealing the sequential nature of diapause termination and post-diapause development. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
