Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the SBS seminar from @robwilsonmncn.bsky.social , looking at over 20 years of butterfly data. In Spanish mountain ranges, cold specialised species are going locally extinct and are being replaced by warmer habitat species #UniofAberdeen #Biology #SciArt

Entomological collections are sustained by all those involved in their study and management. From #INCSTEP @tettris.eu we want to give them voice 🗣️, so we will publish a series of short interviews to introduce some of these people linked to the project. Today, let's meet Antonio Ricarte! 🪰🌼

🚨New paper 🚨We argue that abrupt biodiversity losses can be driven by populations sharing similar tolerances to warming 🦋🌎🥵. Out now in @royalsocietypublishing.org. Summary thread below 🧵 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10....
