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...

I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

Dear Non-Fascist Europeans, The current US leaders believe they're allied with fascists inside your country against you, not allied with you against foreign invasion and threats to democracy. I'm sorry, I wish it weren't true, but it is. You really need to adjust. Sincerely, Non-fascist Americans
