- Reposted by fusanilab#bowerbirds are the only birds that build structures used specifically for courtship. But why and how did this remarkable ability evolve? We discuss some possibilities in our new review in Emu - Austral Ornithology! @fusanilab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/0158...

- Reposted by fusanilabI wrote a piece on how cool this new ruff paper is. Total endocrine game-changer! Congrats to the authors on a rad discovery. doi.org/10.1126/scie...
- A single gene underlies male mating morphs in ruff sandpipers, a new Science study finds. The results show how evolutionary changes in a single gene's structure, sequence, and regulation can drive significant diversity within a single species. Learn more in our new issue: scim.ag/4arzNmU
