How do we know our research results are REAL? We replicate them! Most folks agree but lament on how hard it is to publish these replications. My dearest gentle reader, lament no more! Delighted to unveil: Replication Studies, a new section of Behavioral Ecology 1/ academic.oup.com/beheco/artic...

Replication studies: a win-win for early-career training and behavioral ecology

Great times at @eseb2025.bsky.social. Recovering now with @aaronkiggen.bsky.social @mariamadrid16.bsky.social @biologaboricua.bsky.social @alexkourt.bsky.social @kristinayefimak.bsky.social

If bottom-up approaches still needed evidence they work, #EMPSEB30 gave it. A warm atmosphere, sustainability prize, engaging DEI session, emotional workshops, alternative presentations, so many out-of-the-box things. Altogether with a really high scientific quality. Thank you @empseb30.bsky.social!

And that’s a wrap! #EMPSEB30 comes to an end in the same friendly way in which it started🙌🏽 A huge thank you to the organisers for a flawless conference and for the phenomenal final show! 🕺🏻💃🏻@empseb30.bsky.social

Is there a better way to present your research than an alternative approach? At EMPSEB30, we had butterfly development 🦋(Ana Carolina Varela Pereira), a sonnet 🐦(Lea Huber), a live demonstration with participants 🐁(Gokul Bhaskaran) and a drawing/poster 🐟(Ayla Linnéa Kesim).

Fascinating talk by @bruzos.bsky.social on cancer transmission in bivalves at @empseb30.bsky.social

Next is a great talk about evolutionary genomics of pesticide resistance in Daphnia magna: a population, comparative and functional approach by Alexandros Kourtidis @alexkourt.bsky.social. #empseb30 #conference #phdstudent #evolution #Daphnia #genomics
