Communiqué de la sdj de @blast-info.fr On sait le peu de considération qu'a le gouv Israélien pour le journalisme et les journalistes donc il s'agirait, en France, de pas leur mâcher le travail en qualifiant de "militant" un journaliste qui est venu faire son travail.

Our article on the evolution of Apollo butterflies just got published in @ssbbulletin.bsky.social 🦋 We investigate how using total-evidence dating with the two Parnassiinae fossils reshapes their age and historical biogeography. 🌍 @cnrs.bsky.social #ISEM #evolution 👉 doi.org/10.18061/bss...
Original illustrations of the two fossils belonging to Parnassiinae. Illustrations of †Doritites bosniaskii on the left were made by Rebel (1898), and illustrations of †Thaites ruminiana on the right were made by Scudder (1875)
