So excited to share our new work out in @evolletters.bsky.social today!

Sexual signals and preferences for them often differ across groups, contributing to reproductive isolation. But how do new signals evolve if females already have preferences for existing ones? (1/4)

How relaxed preferences facilitate the evolution of novel animal signals
Abstract. The evolution of novel animal signals is critical to the generation of biodiversity. Here, we explore how new sexual signals become established.

This is such a winning idea that will help solve the current challenges of replication in the field of animal behavior, while also providing an excellent opportunity for early-stage grad students (and even undergrads!) to learn how to science. @behavecol.bsky.social
Exciting new venue for publishing these close replications!! Woohoo! Love this idea and project, Kate!

If you know anyone who might be interested in working as a technician before a PhD, I'm looking for someone to work with me to generate some amazing data to understand the genetics of behavior, sex differences, and reproduction in an evolutionary context. Bonus? Amazing and supportive department!

We have a postdoc position available in the lab on post-copulatory barriers in hybridizing crickets. We have genomic data ready to be analyzed and crickets ready for experiments. This is a great collaborative group and a study system with a lot of potential for new projects. Join us!
