What a pleasure to host @erynmcfarlane.bsky.social@animecol-uu.bsky.social , telling us about her lab's theoretical and empirical work on the replicability of hybrid zones and their outcomes.
Congratulations to Jing Jonavan Leong on defending his master thesis looking at effects of environmental factors on early and late growth rate in nestling collared, pied and hybrid flycatchers!!! It was fun working with you on this project! @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social@animecol-uu.bsky.social 🧪🪶🌍
And the 2024 field crew is now complete and ready to measure a few hundred flycatcher pairs and their nestlings! The woods are beautiful and full of birds who are currently very busy building nests and laying eggs! #olandflycatcheryear23@muriellealund.bsky.social@jacanajones.bsky.social 🧪🌍🐦🪶
Yishu Zhu presents her PhD's half time seminar @animecol-uu.bsky.social, summarizing her research questions, results & plans for the end of her thesis.Let's dive into high resolution metabolic measurements, evolution of mito-nuclear incompatibilities & divergent climate adaptation in flycatchers🪶🧪🌍
