A happy day for the @MigGenomics #insectmigration team here in the mountains - Rich Massy (Left) has just published his first lead author paper!
A fascinating piece showing that hoverflies use the sun and internal body clock to navigate on migration!

"You can even see with the naked eye that they are drawn to the Mediterranean en masse"
@myles_menz studies migration, not of birds, but of the numerous insects that pass through the alps to winter in the south. @ClubAlpinSuisse visits him in the field 🗻sac-cas.ch/de/die-alpen/mist…

Our paper on the drivers of Painted Lady migration, led by @hgecol & Constanti Stefanescu, is now out in PNAS. We show that sub-Saharan winter rainfall levels is key to the numbers that arrive in Europe each spring @insectmigration @b_migration @UniExeCEC
Our new open access paper on the largest insect migration on the planet is out today! @j_chapman2 @catalanbms @DavidRoyBRC show the Painted Lady butterfly travels 14,000km including across the Saharan desert doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2102762… 🌤️🌿🦋Biodiversity transcends national borders!

Hot off the presses! Knoblauch et al. 2021 investigate the flight orientation and weather effects of migrant #dragonflies in the #Baltic finding that Aeshna mixta uses favorable tail winds on its path and Sympetrum vulgatum follow the easterly #winds.

Just got my complimentary copy of this fab looking book - many thanks @martinswarren, looking forward to reading! Rather shocked to find a photo of a very young me in the chapter on butterfly migration! Get a copy & discover the amazing journeys of painted ladies, admirals etc

Our new Biological Reviews paper is now online. We show that nearly 600 #butterfly species show evidence of #migratory #movements. (1/6) @j_chapman2 @animaltracking @MigGenomics @b_migration @insectmigration doi.org/10.1111/brv.12714

The Marmalade hoverflies (Episyrphus balteatus) have arrived here in the Pyrenees!! Huge numbers yesterday migrating through our pass.
We think these tiny animals journey from N Europe potentially into Africa each Autumn!

Songbirds get a voice: they report how they perceive life. What they like, where they die. ICARUS is starting its 1st global project. youtu.be/Fz0po-rFnlA @CONTEXTFILM @unikonstanz @maxplanckpress @CBehav @RolandKays @Kasper_Thorup @DLR_en @SpaceTechSTI

The walk up to the top of the Pyrenean mountain pass to check the moth trap is always beautiful, but this was extra exciting! The first Death's Head and Convolvulus Hawkmoths of the #insectmigration field season! (Preceded by a bird survey featuring a bearded vulture flypast!)

Please RT! We are looking for volunteers to join our straw-coloured fruit bat monitoring network across Africa. We need someone in Mali who could count the Bamako colony. Help us uncover where and why this keystone species migrates across Africa @animaltracking @dechmannlab
