An excellent write up!! I'll add that these challenges are further amplified by international academics, esp from the global south, with the perpetual uncertainty of where "home" will be in the next few years and the lack of nearby family support that could potentially add optimism to plans 🥲
We had heard about the challenges posed by motherhood within academia, but what about the previous stage? @ecfreewoman.bsky.social & I wrote our story for @science.org on how the academic system makes it almost impossible for women to even plan for a family ❤️🩹: www.science.org/content/arti...
As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone
The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write

Presented at #ISBE2024 in Melbourne yesterday! Excited to hear about all the amazing research that's happening in behavioural ecology for the rest of the week.
Annemarie van der Marel show that "key" (more highly connected) individuals in degu groups are typically male and more involved in affecting between-group interactions than within-group interactions #ISBE2024

Why do species have finite distributions? In this preprint we find genetic drift is stronger closer to range edges using open data from >37k individuals/ 59 species, meaning edgier populations might not have the adaptive capacity to expand their range. Feedback welcome ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Check out our latest on killer whales in the Arctic! With lengthening ice-free seasons we are seeing more & more KWs in the Arctic. We found 2 pop's as genetically distinct as ecotypes found elsewhere use the region. KWs could bring significant ecosystem-level change to the rapidly changing Arctic

We, 3 female behavioral ecologists, decided it was high time we collate the BIGGEST database on mammal testes size (571 species!).
What factors influence relative testes size? Mainly mating system and litter rate.
In sum: SIZE IS NOT EVERYTHING!
