Don't forget about your favorite #smallbusiness this holiday season!
As a bonus, if you buy manta ray stuff from my shop, the rays get a gift too! A portion of all manta ray sales will be donated to support conservation research at the Mobula Conservation Project.

Check out the recent publication in Annual Reviews of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics where the authors explore genomic species delimitation in depth. You'll see a number of #sciart figures I created to help explain some of the concepts!

This was a challenging project because all of the initial ideas involved many crisscrossing connections or trying to use symbols. Ultimately, we settled on a layout that organized all of these connections.

Here are just a few of the many fish I painted this year (not to scale). It's fun to stick a bunch of them together into a collage and see some of the incredible diversity of body shape and color patterns. Merry Fishmas!

New research looks into the anthropogenic causes of behavioral diversity loss, and their consequences. I created a figure to show the pathways by which anthropogenic disturbances ultimately increase or decrease behavioral diversity.
Our manuscript on the microbiome of a stingless bee hive is out! 🦠🐝 So excited! Here’s a short thread with some findings, going from the assembly of a consistent multi-kingdom microbiome to discussions on host traits that contribute to it. Please take a look and share : ) rdcu.be/eVNFJ
6 - These results highlight host traits and cross-kingdom microbial interactions as key drivers of colony-level microbiome assembly, beautifully illustrated by @lifesciencestudios.bsky.social in the final fig. We hope this guides discussions in microbiome research to bee eco-evo and conservation.
New lab logo just dropped!
@michaelgbertram.bsky.social's lab studies how chemical pollution disrupts animal behavior, using Atlantic salmon and European perch in much of their research. The logo needed to showcase study organisms with an ecotoxicology twist. Enjoy your new lab logo, Bertram Lab!
