Fish species evolved different hunting strategies using distinct visual cues Researchers have described how fish larvae rely on species-specific combinations of vision and movement to detect and capture prey.

A new study comparing five different fish species shows that their larval hunting strategies diverged during the course of evolution. Read more: www.bi.mpg.de/news/2025-07...

The foraging gene coordinates brain and heart networks to modulate socially cued interval timing in Drosophila Author summary This study reveals that the foraging gene, traditionally associated with behaviors such as foraging and learning, plays a critical role in interval timing (e.g., regulation of mating du...

This is currently exactly what I’m facing. Leave the country or leave science. And leaving the country is not as easy as everyone thinks it is.

Other countries mostly only want post-docs and other scientists who are much farther along in their career 🫠

Hi Brooke, thanks for doing this!! Awesome resource. Can you add me to the list please?

Are you a PI in a biology field looking for postdocs? Here is a Starter Pack of early career biologists currently seeking postdoctoral positions! (Also if you are searching for a postdoc, let me know if you want to be added!) go.bsky.app/8zZNEGV

Yesterday was our last day of the 2025 field season!! We’re trying to understand the complex behavioral & physiological relationship between a brood-parasite: the brown-headed cowbird, and their host: the song sparrow.

Our esteemed past prez, @tinosaurs.bsky.social, introducing the Margaret Morse Nice Plenary with a biography of Nice. Check out this incredible quote from Ernst Mayr! #WOS2025

The Emotional Whiplash of a Climate Scientist | Atmos Dr. Kate Marvel explores the grief, anger, wonder, and love she feels studying climate change in an excerpt from her new book, Human Nature.

"Aren’t researchers supposed to be perfectly objective, unemotional, and neutral about the world we study? I can’t be. I need to declare a conflict of interest regarding Earth:

Everyone I love lives here."

In her new book, @drkatemarvel.bsky.social explores what it means to be a climate scientist:

Insects are dying: here are 25 easy and effective ways you can help protect them From turning out the lights to letting leaves rot, these small steps can create big changes at home or in the wild

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Spread the word! Turn off the lights (unless you're trapping!), leave the leaves, plant all the native plants in every gap, make a pond, stop using chemicals in the garden. I know I am preaching to the converted but insects are important!

Trump vs. Birds: Proposed Budget Eliminates Critical Research Programs • The Revelator Experts say there’s “no substitute” for the Bird Banding Laboratory or the Breeding Bird Survey, which help reveal the health and status of avian populations across the country.

Thank you, @rheisman.bsky.social for writing this piece about the BBL and BBS at USGS!
