Can’t believe I forgot to post this on my website. Well, the conclusion is still the same – David Attenborough narrated my research I can die happy now.

Paper out in Ethology
A fun study with Vincent Prémel and Cori Richards-Zawacki on what determines success in male-male territorial competition in the strawberry poison frogs. Surprisingly, color or body size is not as important as residency status! Prior residence effect determines success of male–male territorial competition in a color polymorphic poison frogJournal link PDF Pretty proud of theContinue reading “Paper out in Ethology”
Ph.D. defense
I successfully defended (full covid style – in my pajama pants) some time ago, but it still feels surreal to be officially a Dr. Anyways here’s the recorded defense video if you missed it!
New Publication in Behavioural Processes
A project that I worked on as a research assistant with Dr. Yuying Hsu, Dr. Cheng-Yu Li, Yu-Ju Chen, and Dr. Yung-Che Tseng back when I was still in Taiwan was accepted in Behavioural Processes, and will be published in the March issue. Really great to finally see it out 🙂 Personality and physiological traits predict contestContinue reading “New Publication in Behavioural Processes”
New publication in Nature
Our paper made Nature cover!! Really thankful for my coauthors: my advisor Cori Richards-Zawacki and our collaborator Maria Servedio – wonderful mentors that a PhD student could ever asked for. Imprinting sets the stage for speciation In short: Strawberry poison frog tadpoles imprint on the color of their mother, and sexual & rival imprinting combinedContinue reading “New publication in Nature”
New Publication in Am Nat
The collaborative project with Dr. Heike Pröhl and her student Simone Blomenkamp, Dr. Matt Dugas and my advisor Dr. Cori Richards-Zawacki was accepted and will be published in the April issue of 2019 in American Naturalist! Woohoo! Mate Choice versus Mate Preference: Inferences about Color-Assortative Mating Differ between Field and Lab Assays of Poison Frog Behavior.Continue reading “New Publication in Am Nat”
Panama field work!
Starting my last field season for my PhD at Bocas del Toro, Panama. Gonna be here the whole April catching frogs 😀
New publication in J. Evol. Biol.
A new paper that I wrote was published in the March 2018 issue of the Journal of Evolutionary Biology! So happy that this is finally out. In the study, we quantify color bias in poison frog male-male competition in a contact zone between a red morph and a blue morph using 3D printed robot frogs.

2018 SICB
First time attending SICB this year, and what a conference! Met tons of cool scientists and had plenty great conversations. It was now one of my favorite conference and will definitely try to attend the future ones.
2017 Three Rivers Evolution Event
The first Three Rivers Evolution Event (TREE) at University of Pittsburgh last Saturday was a blast. It was a FREE regional symposium for evolutionary biology organized mostly by students and postdocs. It was a well-organized event with so many awesome talks and posters. Also my first time giving a modeling-focus talk (eep!). Definitely will beContinue reading “2017 Three Rivers Evolution Event”
