Thrilled to see this work published @ScienceMagazine @peterkdearden @GrahamMcC_NZ @ludo_dutoit @TK_Dunedin @BrodieFoster @GracieKroos @Mei_Peng_Otago Human-driven evolution of color in a stonefly mimic | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Human-driven evolution of color in a stonefly mimic

Rapid adaptation is thought to be critical for the survival of species under global change, but our understanding of human-induced evolution in the wild remains limited. We show that widespread...

An amazing case of 'cheating' in NZ #insects - where only some individuals of a harmless stonefly mimic the warning colours of an unrelated toxic (cyanide-producing) stonefly @Mol_Ecol @BrodieFoster @GrahamMcC_NZ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… otago.ac.nz/news/news/otago0…

ebony underpins Batesian mimicry in melanic stoneflies

The evolution of Batesian mimicry – whereby harmless species avoid predation through their resemblance to harmful species – has long intrigued biologists. In rare cases, Batesian mimicry is linked...

In the world of #dataviz sometimes art meets science! 🖌👩‍🔬 We plotted parrot data in the ALA to celebrate #WorldParrotDay 🦜 using the dominant plumage shades for each genus 🌈 and created some accidental art in the process! Watch out Monet ‍🎨 @accidental_aRt #rstats #Rtistry

How do insects adapt to harsh alpine environments? In our new paper, we show how environmental conditions have driven rapid and repeated wing loss in an upland stonefly. doi.org/10.1093/isd/ixac027 @jon_waters_nz @MarsdenFund @ludo_dutoit @BrodieFoster

The first paper from my PhD @MonashBiol with @StevenChown1 and Matt McGee is finally out! I explored the relationship between range size and speciation in honeyeaters, to see what we found (and for some pretty pictures) check out the paper here: bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.co…

Are you thinking about doing Honours next year? Why not move to the Northern Territory and do an amazing ecological research project with @RIELresearch. @CDUni is offering $3000 scholarships for students who relocate to the NT to do Honours. Message me for info on how to apply.

#Spider #Moth (Ambia instrumentalis, Musotiminae, Crambidae) Members of a few Musotimine genera have wing markings strongly suggestive of spiders, presumably as an anti-predation strategy. flic.kr/p/2m94wCb #insect #China #Yunnan #entomology #Lepidoptera #itchydogimages

Derbid Planthopper (Rhotana sp., Rhotanini, Derbidae) These tiny planthoppers are included in a complex of arthropods who, by virtue of their wing markings and postures, are believed to be mimicking jumping spiders (Salticidae). flic.kr/p/2m98fkg #insect #China #Yunnan

Great article featuring our paper on flight loss in stoneflies by @vero_greenwood of the New York Times. nytimes.com/2021/08/11/scien…

When Insects Lost Their Homes, Evolution Clipped Their Wings (Published 2021)

A study in New Zealand shows how man-made changes to an ecosystem can radically reshape the bodies of insect inhabitants.

Beautiful Pyrgomorph (Greyacris picta) One of Australia's most incredible grasshoppers, it is found across the arid landscapes of central Australia. The strong aposematic colouration warns potential predators they are distasteful and when startled reveal their small red wings!
