I had the honor of knowing David through grad school, he was an amazingly kind person. What a loss
I am looking for a PhD student to join my new Socio-Eco-Evo group, hosted in Katie Peichel's Evolutionary Ecology Division @ University of Bern. We're offering a fully funded 4-year position, studying social plasticity and behavioral adaptation among stickleback in Greenland. Please share around!
Spring is in the air, and we’re getting excited for #EHBEA2026! Hope you are too! ⏳ Registration for EHBEA 2026 closes April 1 👀 We know… suspicious timing. But it’s real! Grab your spot while you can!

Our paper on generalized dynamic phylogenetic models is finally out in MEE 🥳 The brainchild of @err-ring.bsky.social, GDPMs open up a vast new space for comparative studies on complex, coevolving traits, greatly aided by @scottclaessens.bsky.social's work on the accompanying R package. Check it out!
And big thanks to @jsmartin.bsky.social and @jaeggiadrian.bsky.social for sticking around on the long haul to get this paper out!

Oxytocin varies across the lifecourse in a sex-specific way - new paper in @pnas.org working with Tsimane communities. For women, OT looks like a sex hormone and is linked to breastfeeding and childcare. For men, probably more related to health and aging.

I always had the vague feeling that Scientific Reports and Nature Communications are mainly APC business models.
A paper estimated the total APC for gold/hybrid Open Access per journal 2015–2018: doi.org/10.1162/qss_...
Surprise, surprise - there are 2 outliers at the top😐
Next steps are to look at individual differences (repeatability) in #oxytocin levels and how they relate to life history and personality traits. Watch this space!

🧠 We often call oxytocin the "love hormone," but could it actually be the key to healthy aging?
In an impressive recent study published in PNAS, researchers from the University of Zurich analysed the...
David Marques was an amazing speciation genomics researcher, a passionate birder, and a wonderful friend, husband, and father. May he rest in peace. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
