A new taxonomic key is also provided, allowing reliable identification of West Indian Belonuchus—an essential step for any future work.

This work builds on Blackwelder’s foundation from 1943. Now, studies of West Indian Belonuchus can proceed from a modern, illustrated baseline. Have a read on BioOne or researchgate bioone.org/journals/the-cole…

This revision updates the group with: 🔹 7 species new to science 🔹 2 synonymies 🔹 17 total species recognized in the West Indies

While some recent work has been done on mainland Neotropical Philonthina (phylogenies, species concepts, keys, checklists), the West Indian Belonuchus were last treated over 80 years ago by Blackwelder—and largely overlooked since.

I have a new website - I'll be sharing updates on projects from it and maybe the occasional resource. It's early stages- but check it out :) jordanraineyento.wordpress.c…

Dr Ben Woodcock, UKCEH: Agroecological methods benefit biodiversity and food security and, long-term, provide more secure farm incomes. But as habitats take several years to establish, subsidies are essential to support farmers in the shift to these sustainable systems.
Image of wildflower margin in a farm field and a quote: "Without the introduction of new financial incentives, many farmers will be deterred from adopting agroecological farming practices. This could leave them locked into high input, intensive farming systems and more exposed to the impacts of pesticide resistance, declining soil health and climte change." Dr Ben Woodcock, UKCEH

Nature-friendly farming boosts both biodiversity and crop yields — but scaling it up may need more government subsidies to become as profitable as intensive agriculture, a new study has found ceh.ac.uk/press/nature-frien… 🧵 1/

Simply unacceptable. Wales cannot lose the flagship building of its National Museum. Our Museum. This is a line in the sand. If you allow this pillar of our society and heritage to die you will never get it back. Protect her. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj7m…

Museum Wales: At least 90 jobs cut and Cardiff building may close

It's been "extremely difficult" to deal with cuts and more staff may go, warns museums boss.

New Ant Lab video today. Filming these rove beetles with projectile mouthparts has been on the to-do list for years! Thanks to @Bertonemyia showing me his Stenus site this summer, I finally got the opportunity! Check it out: youtu.be/RjKhIg3kCpM
