So proud to have my first paper out with @LMQueste and Neil Rosser. We measured the flight of >350 butterflies, and show that comimetic neotropical butterflies converge in behaviour as well as colour pattern! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

I'm getting more and more Musk-related drivel popping up here, so I'm to run away from twitter - you can find me at bsky.app/profile/eddvolution…

Thrilled that my review on the influence of abiotic factors on the distribution of macrophytes in small waterbodies has been published! The first paper from my PhD! 👩🏼‍🔬🌱 mdpi.com/2300-7575/24/4/36

The Influence of Abiotic Factors on the Distribution of Macrophytes in Small Water Bodies in...

Currently, reviews focusing on the distribution of macrophytes focus primarily on large water bodies, regardless of the fact that small water bodies (SWBs), such as ponds, ditches and streams, often...

"Sharing flight behaviour across multiple species seems to reinforce this ‘don’t eat me’ message.” 🦋 Fascinating research from @biologyatyork offers new insights into the self-preserving techniques used by inedible butterflies: bit.ly/3wvpiit #YorkResearch
A close-up of four butterflies clustered around the leaf of a plant. Text reads: The flight plan. Researchers have shown that inedible species of butterfly, that mimic each other's colour patterns, have also evolved similar flight behaviours to warn predators and avoid being eaten.

Had a great time at #popgroup56 discussing all things population genetics, and presenting my work on colour patterning in ithomiine butterflies

An update to our manuscript on moth biomass (led by @rskinsella7) went live on @biorxivpreprint overnight (not an April Fool, I promise!). Now submitted for peer review but any external feedback on the preprint also gratefully received. doi.org/10.1101/695635

A very dramatic storm in #RandilenWMA in Tanzania back in 2018 ⚡️ we carried out an experiment into the ant-acacia #mutualism and herbivory 🐜 @EddPage @BiologyatYork
