Ecologist/Evolutionary Biologists in the final stages of thesis write up. I'm very interested in sexual selection and related topics and somewhat enjoy writing individual based models *when they work*. Avid mountaineer and climber looking for postdocs.
Not quite as exhilarating as stalk-eyed flies but the research is very cool!
Female mosquitoes control mating through subtle genital movements, determining if and when copulation occurs—a key factor in their reproductive success and the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. doi.org/g98bcr
What we got wrong about mosquito mating—researchers explain why females are in charge
The female mosquito only mates once in her lifetime, and yet she can develop many hundreds of eggs from this single event.

BEHOLD the GARgantuan Alligator Gar!!!
This is the largest Alligator Gar I’ve encountered; at over 7 feet 10 inches (240 cm) and approximately 55 inches in girth, its weight is estimated at 300 pounds (136 kg)!
A true river monster, among the largest caught, tagged and safely released! #GarWeek

We are seeking an ornithologist/modeller for a 2-year POST-DOC in Turin. Using archaeological remains, we will reconstruct past avian communities to understand the impacts of climate change and human pressure on birds through time. For details see cutt.ly/irN76QDZ PLEASE RT. #ornithology #AviArch
