@jby@ecoevo.socialIt's as official as it can be: The Yoder Lab has been very fortunate to receive NSF funding, in a project that will develop our TARDIS method of modeling plants' flowering activity in varying environments. Keep an eye out for grad (Master's) opportunities in Fall 2027, and a postdoc position hiring as soon as I manage the paperwork

@jake4480@c.imFascinating research on chimpanzees. They fracture into groups, wage war on each other, are aggressive, develop border patrols, isolate, etc.

@davej@dice.campLet’s face it: $500 million’s a lot of money. It has to come from somewhere.
If we give astronomers half a billion for their networked telescopes, for instance, the fossil fuel industry might need to pay market rate for their diesel—for a whole *week and a half.*

@colinpurrington@flipping.rocksHere are the Houdini fly traps attached to my insect hotel. The malbec, grape vinegar, and water cups are all attached in a slightly haphazard way, but hopefully will be useful in assessing whether Nicole Kenney's idea (use malbec to attract them) works on the east coast, too. My big concern is that I only saw one Houdini fly today so I might be setting it up too late. #BeeHotel #InsectHole #osmia #flies #science #biology #diptera

@colinpurrington@flipping.rocksOK, I'm off to the garage to make Houdini fly traps. Learned via reddit that Nicole Kenney of Portland, Oregon, has been busy testing attractants for several years and THE WINNER IS MALBEC.

@publicvoit@graz.social @colinpurrington@flipping.rocksTo amuse myself I'm evaluating baits for mosquito-killing buckets: oak leaves, straw, log, and beetroot skins. Leaves and straw are standards but I'm curious whether I can attract tree-hole species (e.g., Aedes triseriatus) with the partially submerged wood. And beets are packed with geosmin (a sesquiterpenoid), a known oviposition attractant. Stay tuned. #mosquitoes #science #biology #entomology
