New paper on breeding site fidelity in pectoral sandpipers out in @asab.org! The pectoral sandpiper is a highly nomadic polygynous shorebird, but a very small proportion of individuals is nevertheless faithful to their breeding site between years 1/6 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
I wrote an article for @aunz.theconversation.com about facultative sex, after I found out that many people outside of biology have never heard of the concept. I think it's such a neat ability that everyone should know about! Read it here: theconversation.com/facultative-...
Facultative sex allows some animals to reproduce with or without a partner. So why can’t humans do it?
A variety of species across the animal kingdom can reproduce both sexually and asexually, including some types of starfish, water fleas, hammerhead sharks and Komodo dragons.

New paper out in @rsocpublishing.bsky.social! Research from our group shows that males of the polygynous ruff visit many potential breeding sites within a breeding season, travelling up to 9000 km and visiting up to 23 different sites! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... 1/7
🧵1/4. New book finally coming out on 26 December 2024. This has been a monumental effort and I take the opportunity to thank my co-editor @ulrikacandolin.bsky.social, all of the amazing contributors, chapter reviewers and the team at Oxford Academic. global.oup.com/academic/pro...
Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others I shared my story with Science to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again www.science.org/content/arti...
‘It felt very icky’: This scientist’s name was used to write fake peer reviews
Elsevier retracts dozens of journal articles that were published based on “fictitious” reviews

New paper! We compared different methods for detecting mating displays in ruffs, using accelerometry and machine learning. The best methods worked pretty well! This paper is intended as a guide to help other researchers develop their own models and avoid common issues. doi.org/10.1016/j.an...
Just arrived here. Hello! This should be fun. Here's a pectoral sandpiper. This guy has an inflatable throat sac that he uses to make deep, hooting calls at lady sandpipers. He will also sometimes bob around near a female and make gurgling noises. He thinks it's sexy.
