We hope you have been enjoying snow upon snow upon snow...
But spring will be coming sooner than we think, and with it: OE3C.
Registration will be opening for OE3C soon, keep an eye out on socials for updates! Make sure to follow and like.

Did you know stickleback, which can be found in Ontario, are quite romantic?
With OE3C getting closer and it being Valentine's day (although we were a day late...) we thought it would be fun to share a fittingly romantic ethology fact.
#ethology #ontario #science
Happy Holidays from OE3C! Our logo is ready and the topic for this upcoming year will be Coexisting with Nature.
Just as a reminder to save the date, the Ontario Ecology, Ethology, and Evolution Colloquium (OE3C) will be happening April 30th to May 2nd, 2026 at Brock University.

This is a fantastic new preprint, one of the first papers from our replicated whole lake experimental evolution study with stickleback.

**PhD POSITIONS** I am recruiting 1-2 PhD students to work on sociality and cognition in Monk Parakeets, starting Fall 2026. Full ad is here: hobsonresearch.com/index.php/20... (please help spread the word!)

I'm looking for PhD students to join the lab starting August 2026. We study the evolution of insect chemical signals so if you're interested in evolutionary biology, chemical ecology, molecular biology, behavior, or genetics, this could be a good fit for you! More info here: tinyurl.com/mrxchwfm
UPDATE: The 2025-2026 list of faculty and postdoc positions in ecology and evolutionary biology is out! Be sure to check out this active and helpful community run resources! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
WHY does the word assess mean something so different when you forget one 's'. On a grant no less. Good thing I found it before submitting #newPI #GrantWritingWoes 🤦
My lab is moving! 🍄
Starting Jan 2026, we'll be at @ucriverside.bsky.social in the Dept of EEOB!
We will keep investing #microbes (fungi and sometimes bacteria) under global change and looking at ecosystem-scale consequences 🍄🧫🦠🌎🧬
I'm grateful to my friends, colleagues, and students at NMSU 🌟

Huge thank you @aeastephens.bsky.social for initiating the TrendsTalk series 'Disability in ecology and evolution' in T.R.E.E. providing visibility for disabled researchers in #Ecology & #Evolution to make our field more #inclusive www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...
Hi everyone, happy to share with all of you the paper from the second chapter of my PhD, where we show that more exploratory birds use a broader foraging niche, linking consistent behavior with ecological flexibility. I hope you can enjoy it and share it!!!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Sheila Colla – brilliant conservation scientist, tireless native pollinator advocate, and environmental justice champion. Her legacy will continue to guide Ontario Nature’s pollinator work.

Great #CSEE2025 meeting @csee-scee.bsky.social in Sherbrooke! Thank you @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social -- Canadian E&E is a fantastic community! Super proud of lab members for stellar (award winning!) talks and poster! And the most creative swan-song poster by my colleague Chris Eckert!
A little teaser of some collaborative network graphs
I’ll be at #CSEE2025 talking about patterns of collaboration in the Canadian eco/evo research community 🇨🇦
If you’re a eco/evo prof in Canada, odds are you were one of my data points… so come check it out! Wednesday - 4:30 - Science in action
@csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social
If anyone at @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social wants to go to the banquet but didn’t get a ticket, let me know!! I can’t make it anymore, I have to leave for fieldwork tomorrow (Tuesday) night
Pleased to have an amazing showing from the Ziter lab here at #CSEE2025. Interested in urban ecology and social-ecological systems? We’ve got 6 talks/posters on deck for you!

Very excited to have a blog post posted that was led by @suegenenoh.bsky.social summarizing and outlining #RIE2 development of undergrad teaching modules for evolution. ecoevoevoeco.blogspot.com/2025/06/unlo... and cross posted here genestogenomes.org/unlocking-un... 🧬🧪👩🔬👨🔬🔬#newPI #Evolution
This was just on the sidewalk and I cannot decide if it’s a good thing I instantly knew what the album and artist is…
Just created a stickleback feed so it’s easy to see what other Bluesky users are saying about stickleback in one feed. The post just needs to include the word stickleback in it, even if it’s just in image alt text.
