Have you considered the role of epigenetic variation in niche individualization?
We explored the interplay between interindividual phenotypic variation and epigenetic processes in a paper recently published in Trends of Ecology and Evolution 🧪

Have you ever wondered about fine-scale predator-prey dynamics? 🧪
I used image data and a neural network to investigate this in Antarctic fur seals.

What is responsible and rigorous science? @anelivb.bsky.social and @rebeccachen.bsky.social spent the last two days discussing this question at the #iScienceTBD workshop at @idiv-research.bsky.social. From EDI and science communication to HARKing, p-hacking, DAGs – lots of food for thought! 🌱🧠
Looking for a MSc thesis or a recent graduate project? The Hoffman Lab is looking for a motivated student to work on mutation load dynamics and inbreeding depression in female black grouse! We'll investigate how deleterious mutations affect key fitness traits. Check out our website for more info! 🧬
Have you considered whether animals differ in their perception of density?
We explored how differences in our senses, interpretation and past experiences shapes density perception, causing behavioral differences and affecting fitness outcomes. 🧪
