This stunning slow-motion footage of the green dragontail butterfly was filmed by Kazuo Unno in northern Thailand. Lamproptera meges are a species of swallowtail butterfly that can be found throughout Asia [full video: buff.ly/2ThZAVZ]

The last summertime #SpeciationIntrogressionDiscussion would end with a neotropical butterfly treasurehunt with Mallet lab @eratosignis. Captain = Dr. Neil Rosser (postdoc of the Mallet lab @HarvardOEB). #speciation #evolution

Speciation is facilitated when traits under divergent selection also act as mating cues. Fluctuations in sensory conditions can alter signal perception independently of adaptation to the broader...

Unsure right now if the outlook for 2021 is bleak or optimistic but thankfully my contingencies for both involve copious amounts of Yorkshire Tea so at least I'm somewhat prepared

Really love when research is combined with other media, this video really captures the importance of diversity in our forests and justifies these kinds of studies video: vimeo.com/377406300 research: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Part funded by @NatGeo #outreach

On the butterflies of the Amazon (English, Portuguese, Spanish and...

More species are found in the lush tropical forests of the Amazon basin than anywhere else on earth, and few animals epitomize this diversity better than butterflies. This documentary follows a team...

Neil Rosser, the best field worker I've met, has a new paper on the Amazon river as a suture zone for butterflies due to a partial barrier effect. Collaborative effort with Brazilian colleagues. doi.org/10.1111/ecog.05282 Part funded by NatGeo - movie too vimeo.com/377406300

The Amazon river is a suture zone for a polyphyletic group of co‐mimetic heliconiine butterflies

The Amazon basin contains few obvious geographic barriers, yet it is the most biodiverse region on Earth. One hypothesis to explain its diversity is that the very large rivers promote allopatric...

Giving a presentation to my lab about applying to and getting a post-doc (as I’ve just gone through it) – what are some good interview questions you like to ask or have been asked?

Really happy to finally see our work on reproductive isolation between 3 sympatric/allopatric/parapatric Heliconius taxa out in the world! It's the culmination of a lot of hard work from a lot of great people! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
