Each January, @asab.org journal Animal Behaviour publishes its 'Guidelines for the ethical treatment of nonhuman animals in behavioural research and teaching': www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Please read and implement. #AnimalEthics #AnimalBehaviour

I'm happy to share a new preprint from our lab by Nadine Schubert and colleagues characterizing banded mongoose MHC using NGS. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hi, new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm an evolutionary biologist, interested in MHC, disease ecology, sexual selection, and immune gene evolution🧬. I work on wildlife, mostly small mammals 🐀. I'm excited to be part of the science community here!
