Did you know most male butterflies can accumulate more sodium than females from their larval diet? We found this sexually dimorphic trait in 3 species. Published in @Ecol_Ent. resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
It is too simplistic to think that introducing single species (eg, beaver, bison, pine marten) can fundamentally repair degraded ecosystems Even if we call them keystones Rewilding is about rebuilding complexity, which includes complex trophic structures science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Exciting series of talks about ecological databases - and thrilled to talk about the power of regional trait databases. @ANID_Chile @DataObsCL @GEMA_UMayor
📢 Are you ready for the next cycle of Cutting vEdge Tools? The first webinar is in just a week, March 21st at 14:00 CET: Florian Jansen will show how to handle species concepts when dealing with databases! 📝Join for free at forms.gle/mrjs8gpEy6ihju… only 100 places so don't wait!

As a Puerto Rican from the island, I am not able to vote for the presidential elections there. I feel very proud to not just only being able to vote in MN but also have my vote represent the best interest for my beautiful homeland. GO VOTE!!!!
El nuevo anuncio de @KamalaHarris para los boricuas en la diáspora, en respuesta a lo que dijo el comediante @TonyHinchcliffe sobre #PuertoRico en un mitin de @realDonaldTrump, es el más puertorro que he visto de candidato alguno a la presidencia de los Estados Unidos. By far!🇵🇷
Are you interested in the factors that can drive pupal color polymorphisms? Check out our new study where we experimentally test for cues of increased melanization in Bordered Patch butterfly pupae! @saltyecoevo @MorganWKelly academic.oup.com/aesa/advance-a…
🎉Calling disease ecologists (especially exp. evolution in microcosms). Assistant professorship at University of South Carolina in microbial ecology. I'd love to have another disease or microcosm person here! Feel free to message me with any questions. uscjobs.sc.edu/postings/176806

🌿 New Research Flow Episode! 🎙️ We chat with PhD candidate Diego Paredes-Burneo from Dr. Laura Lagomarsino’s lab at LSU! Diego’s research uncovers how the Andean uplift shaped plant diversification in the genus Brachyotum (Melastomataceae). 🏔️ @evoyeyo
My first post on X! Please help this novice with all of 29 followers spread the word about grad student recruitment 😅🙏
Dear botanical friends, in our new paper we show that Rafflesiaceae and Apodanthaceae come back together! using >1000 single copy nuclear genes and rDNA. Check it out for historical facts and potential synapomorphies. #cienciacriolla #madeincolombia shorturl.at/6HdwU
