Sharing this one last time: we're looking for a tenure track ecologist at UW-Green Bay. Applications close on Oct 19 🧪🌍🪶

Re-sharing this, with about a week left to apply. UW-Green Bay is hiring an ecologist with a strong statistical background. 🧪🌍🪶

Friendly dept with emphasis on conservation/restoration, great students, affordable city/good place to raise kids, near some nice forests, reasonable teaching load, lots of local funding/research opportunities on Great Lakes ecosystems.

Come work with us at UW-Green Bay! We're hiring an ecologist with a strong statistical background. 🧪🌍🪶

There are more scientists on here, but there are more people elsewhere. I think that @weatherwest.bsky.social found an easy way to post the same messages across multiple platforms to reach a broader audience.

Sorry to hear that. Keep up the good work, wherever you can.

Impressive work by Cam Nemeth (not on BlueSky). We hypothesized that the significant lift force produced by the humpback whale’s large pectoral flippers result in them being the only species executing tight, high-speed, sustained turns characteristic of bubble-net feeding doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

Life in the slowest lane: Feeding allometry lowers metabolic rate scaling in the largest whales Rorqual whales use “lunge-and-filter” gait to maintain low metabolic rates during foraging despite high-cost feeding strategy.

New paper on scaling of field metabolic rate in baleen whales! By the big whale lab at @stanfordhopkins.bsky.social and friends. 🐋

With collaborators from UBC and Carleton University, and a cover photo provided by S. Rivero Beneitez.

A short paper with a simple takeaway, but one I'm really proud of!

Our new paper is out in @jzoology.bsky.social! Turning trade-offs: hummingbird power reserves are used to decrease turning radius or increase turning velocity. 🪶🌍

We banded these fluffballs a few days ago. Here is hoping for a few more weeks in the nest and then three successful fledglings. #UWGB #falcons 🪶

A two-year post doc at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn in Napoli, working on biologging in Mediterranean fin whales. The announcement is in Italian, but it is open to foreign researchers, and the working language at the station is English 🐳🧪🌍:

Really excited that our Peregrine Falcons are back and nesting, after an unsuccessful year. #UWGB 🪶. Follow along here: www.youtube.com/@uw-greenbay...

Oop, and the first pelicans of the year have arrived as well.

Office window birding is going-off today. Notable sightings include a bald eagle, the resident peregrines, cooper's hawk, a kettle of migrating turkey vultures, a handful of turkeys, and some very spooked pigeons.

Dinosaurs are still alive. Today, we call them birds Birds don’t look like the scaly giants of Jurassic World. But fossils are revealing how these modern-day dinosaurs descended from ancient reptiles.

🚨 It's finally here! 🚨 I’m excited to share my latest for @snexplores.bsky.social.

1.5 years in the making, this feature dives into the discoveries that helped show why birds are our last remaining dinosaurs. Twiggy the Barred Owl & I are sure you'll learn a thing or two about birds! 🦉

Late winter Lake Michigan hike. Not really #backcountry, (more like sidecountry) but I do want this to get picked up by my customized Outdoor Adventure feed.

!!! You can still see it :)

A short but beautiful line just outside city limits and a few minutes from the UWGB campus.

Climate Change - NASA Science NASA is a global leader in studying Earth’s changing climate.

The NASA climate change site is a fantastic resource for the general public, from a trusted source. I use it in a lot of my classes. I'd imagine it will be taken down soon. Are there any archives of this site? Any comparable sites from other trusted sources? 🧪🌍

To clear loops, Sonic the Hedgehog must hit the right speed Most animals don’t run through loops. Sonic would need the physics behind roller coasters and race cars to clear one.

As a lifelong Sonic fan, I had loads of fun writing this for @snexplores.bsky.social's 'Technically Fiction' series! Many thanks to @paolosegre.bsky.social and Dr. Hassanalian for their insights.

A few more hours until this closes. So if you're an evolutionary biologist interested in a teaching-first institution (but with plenty of research opportunities), please consider applying! 🌎
