Did you know that most rodent sperm have hooks? I knew I found the perfect postdoc to ask 'why' when I met @Kristin_Hook. Check out her new paper with undergrad, Lauren Wilke, asking if the hook helps or hinders sperm aggregation and motility: mdpi.com/1254816 (1/5)

Alright everyone, here is the link! Our current honey bee semen cryopreservation method has a high upfront cost and is quite time consuming. Here we show freezing semen in nitrogen vapor can be faster, cheaper, and produces similar sperm quality. Enjoy! doi.org/10.1016/j.cryobiol.2…

My second manuscript has been published! I'll send out a snappy tweet about it tomorrow so everyone can have a look.

Thought this should be revisited for March Mammal Madness 2021. The honey bee lives on in our hearts. #2020MMM #2021MMM

My former lab enjoys @2020MMMletsgo, and each year we are tasked with presenting our case for our mammal of choice. We learn about the mammal and have a lot of fun. I am now a honey bee researcher, so I am here to convince you of their wrath. CW: Knives, The Creation of Adam

Hello #bsf people and other insects as food and feed producers- definitely a must read. Honey bees.... black soldier flies... and how two industries interact rdcu.be/cf8Mv

Are black soldier flies a pest to honey bees? Probably not. Read more about it in my first publication!

Huge shoutout to our student @ConnorAuth for the publication of his first peer-reviewed publication on Black Soldier Fly infestations in Honey Bee Colonies! Way to go Connor! link.springer.com/article/10…

A scientific note on a black soldier fly (Stratiomyidae: Hermetia illucens) infestation within a...

Apidologie - Black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) were discovered in a weak honey bee colony in Hailey, Idaho. The larvae were localized to the brood area and caused the affected comb to...

How many of those who insist that "science says there are just two genders" simultaneously reject what science says about anthropogenic global warming or COVID?

1/4 My mentors from the University of New Orleans @UofNO, Drs N Anthony and S Lailvaux @SLailvaux, and I have a new article “Size but not relatedness drives the spatial distribution of males within an urban population of Anolis carolinensis lizards” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

This headline is about a mechanism of meiotic drive. Can we really call these sperm competitors if they're produced by the same male? Discuss.

The "p" in pH represents the negative base 10 logarithm. For this reason I propose Manhattan plots adopt a "pp" y axis to test genome wide significance.

1/6 Social dynamics can be stressful, especially when vying for a mate. Ever wondered if that stress can affect reproductive traits? We did too! So, we tested it in two species of Peromyscus mice: the monogamous P. polionotus and the promiscuous P. maniculatus. #AnimBehav2021
Image 1 is an example of the monogamous and pair bonding species P. polionotus. This social behavior has profound effects on how the male perceives competitive threat, and possibly how they deal with stress.

Really excited this newest MacManes Lab paper, led by @t_annina, with important contributions from @heidisfisher @erezaterez @odudcha @RuqayyaKhan20 & others! Chromosome size affects sequence divergence through the interplay of recombination & selection biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Chromosome size affects sequence divergence between species through the interplay of recombination...

The structure of the genome, including the architecture, number, and size of its chromosomes, shapes the distribution of genetic diversity and sequence divergence. Importantly, smaller chromosomes...
