Our new paper is now out in #ProcB! We explored the drivers of song evolution across honeyeaters, focusing on the morphological constraint and acoustic adaptation hypotheses. @Chownlab @MonashBiol Check out the paper here: royalsocietypublishing.org/d…
Phylogenetic tree displaying relationships between 163 species of honeyeaters. Branches are coloured according to peak frequency. Size of bars at the tips of the phylogeny represent body size (mass in grams) and are coloured according to open (white) and closed (black) habitat types. Four examples of honeyeater song spectrograms are included: Blue-faced Honeyeater (Entomyzon cyanotis; xeno-canto accession number = XC439288; body size = 105.26 g), Singing Honeyeater (Gavicalis virescens; xeno-canto accession number = XC334251; body size = 23.33 g), Noisy Friarbird (Philemon corniculatus; xeno-canto accession number = XC287056; body size = 100.71 g), and Eastern Spinebill (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris; xeno-canto accession number = XC490800; body size = 10.44 g).

Human-driven evolution of color in a stonefly mimic

Rapid adaptation is thought to be critical for the survival of species under global change, but our understanding of human-induced evolution in the wild remains limited. We show that widespread...

How do microbial symbionts affect host responses to environmental variability? Our new publication in @Ecology_Letters answers this question using amazing long-term data for grasses and their fungal symbionts. -> onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Microbial symbionts buffer hosts from the demographic costs of environmental stochasticity

Microbial symbionts buffer hosts from the demographic costs of environmental stochasticity

Many symbiotic microbes benefit hosts under environmental stress. Using long-term field experiments with a plant–fungal endophyte model system, we show that, by limiting host exposure to environmen...

It all comes down to size! Body size seems to be the primary driver of variation in honeyeater song. Cool work by @EleanorMHay at #ESASCBO2022
