An important publication from John Endler on the fundamentals of behavioural ecology:

" We need to make a lot more use of Natural History. Natural History is the ultimate source of all hypotheses, so neglecting it could result in stagnation of our field "

👋 Hi Bluesky! I'm an evolutionary ecologist and about to launch my own research group at the University of Bayreuth (DE).
🔬 I will study the socioecology of animal-microbe interactions, asking how social behaviors in burying beetles shape - and are shaped by - interactions with microbes.
