From the Photo Gallery:
Some of these #wildflowers are native to Canada, and some aren't; an @ESAEcology study shows that nectar-seeking #butterflies make use of (& may even prefer) the nonnatives

Western Buttercup (top left panel: Ranunculus occidentalis) and Sea Blush (top right panel: Plectritis congesta) are native to the region, while Himalayan Blackberry (bottom right panel: Rubus armeniacus) and Cornflower (bottom right panel: Centaurea cyanus) are non-native.

"We need to rethink the idea that all non-native species are harmful," write @hkharouba and @Stephinscience of @uOttawa.
"Eradication efforts should be reserved for situations where they will have the greatest benefits."

🚨Graduate and postdoctoral stipends are critically low.
Even if awarded the highly competitive Trial-Agency council awards graduate student stipends are still below the poverty line. 📉

The common blue arrived in #Quebec in 2005 and has spread hundreds of km. They like unmown open habitat. It is forming novel mutualist associations with native ant species. Here's a v recent publication by @Stephinscience @hkharouba @uOttawa
