New paper on breeding site fidelity in pectoral sandpipers out in @asab.org! The pectoral sandpiper is a highly nomadic polygynous shorebird, but a very small proportion of individuals is nevertheless faithful to their breeding site between years 1/6 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I wrote an article for @aunz.theconversation.com about facultative sex, after I found out that many people outside of biology have never heard of the concept. I think it's such a neat ability that everyone should know about! Read it here: theconversation.com/facultative-...

theconversation.com

Facultative sex allows some animals to reproduce with or without a partner. So why can’t humans do it?

A variety of species across the animal kingdom can reproduce both sexually and asexually, including some types of starfish, water fleas, hammerhead sharks and Komodo dragons.

New paper out in @rsocpublishing.bsky.social! Research from our group shows that males of the polygynous ruff visit many potential breeding sites within a breeding season, travelling up to 9000 km and visiting up to 23 different sites! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... 1/7

Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others I shared my story with Science to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again www.science.org/content/arti...

Excited to meet folks at the @austevolsoc.bsky.social conference tomorrow! I’ve already been having a great time hanging out with some of the locals. #wildoz #rottnest

New paper! We compared different methods for detecting mating displays in ruffs, using accelerometry and machine learning. The best methods worked pretty well! This paper is intended as a guide to help other researchers develop their own models and avoid common issues. doi.org/10.1016/j.an...

A figure from the paper showing a schematic workflow for quantifying behaviour from accelerometry using machine learning. Important considerations include choosing a method for splitting data for training and testing, choosing evaluation metrics, and avoiding applying models to untested scenarios.

Just arrived here. Hello! This should be fun. Here's a pectoral sandpiper. This guy has an inflatable throat sac that he uses to make deep, hooting calls at lady sandpipers. He will also sometimes bob around near a female and make gurgling noises. He thinks it's sexy.
