In our #Drosophila lab, we work on neuronal circuits for reproductive behavior and acoustic communication, sex differences of the nervous system and the signaling function of seminal fluid. I like #arthopods #sexualselection #matechoice #spermcompetition #microscopy and #connectomics
Used to work with #zebrafish #development #axonguidance
Also teaching and keen on #embryology and #histology for medical students...

I am a Senior Lecturer in #SilwoodPark at #ImperialCollegeLondon. I am interested how social behaviours (#MateChoice, SexualSelection, #sociality) and #LifeHistory traits (#ageing, reproductive traits) evolve in birds. I've also published on #WomenInScience. I use #quantitativegenetics to better understand how #phenotypes are governed by #genetic architecture.
I have too many #pets, I like #hiking, #birding, #moths, and #fungi.
Will follow you back - toot!

I'm Lars Penke, full professor for Biological Personality Psychology at the University of Göttingen.
I work on the biological foundations of #personality, #intelligence and other individual differences, be it #genetics #hormones #neuroscience or #evolution. I also study the interplay of personality and #social #relationships, especially #matechoice #romantic relationships and #sexuality. I'm interested in #OpenScience and #MetaScience.

Why do so many couples look alike? It is tempting to immediately interpret this pattern of assortative mating as resulting from preferences. This paper gives a very complete review of alternative explanations. #science #biology #matechoice #homogamy #convergence #stratification
