How #ParentalCare affects the Evolution of #GeneticVariation by Rahia Mashoodh. Not sure if it’s parentale care per se or strong #Selection pressures related to the novel environmental conditions caused by preventing parental care that are responsible for the changes in genetic variation, but the approach and the questions were very neat! #Behaviour2023

Today, Laura Pasquier (not on Mastodon) presented her PhD project on the effects of #pesticides on #parentalCare in #earwigs in front our our institute
It was a great talk followed by a great discussion!
Looking forwards to talk more about the first (exciting) results! 🤯

Summarizing our results suggest that #parentalcare may interact with selective forces such as #predation and possibly help shape the #evolution of warning signaling patterns in #poisonfrogs! 🔴 🐸 ☠️

@PaleoParaDive #Postdoc #Introduction Karina Vanadzina joined our team in Oktober. #She has a wide #experience with #phylogenetic #comparative methods and #macroecological analyses which she will use to investigate how #parasites and their #hosts respond to changing #Climate. She recently completed her #PhD @ St Andrews, UK, where she worked on the #evolution of #parentalcare in #vertebrates.

Scientists have discovered a 300-million-year-old lizard in Canada that proves the first instance of animal #parentalcare in a bombshell scientific revelation.
