Què determina quines espècies de #papallones aconsegueixen viure a les ciutats? 🦋🏙️🤔 Un NOU ESTUDI, liderat per @ylndmc.bsky.social i basat en dades nostres i del @catalanbms.org, mostra que els ambients urbans actuen com un filtre que afavoreix determinats trets funcionals i en descarta d'altres 🧵👇

Los episodios de calor intenso disminuyen la supervivencia y reproducción de las #mariposas; algunas especies se marchan a altitudes más elevadas o más al norte para encontrar la vegetación que necesitan 🦋🌡️ Como bioindicadoras, esto es extrapolable a otros artrópodos como abejas o escarabajos 🐝🪲💔
Viñeta humorística sobre el efecto del calor intenso en las mariposas. Una mariposa descansa bebiendo un café mientras todo su entorno se funde y reseca con las altas temperaturas. Aún con esta situación, la mariposa afirma en inglés que "todo va bien" haciendo referencia a un famoso meme de un perro dentro de una casa en llamas.

Els parcs i jardins de #Barcelona estan vivint una segona onada de migradores dels cards (Vanessa cardui) 🦋📊 El registre més destacat s'ha donat al parc de la Trinitat del barri de Sant Andreu, on la setmana passada es van registrar 111 #papallones d'aquesta espècie en un sol mostreig! 🙀🚀

@ylndmc.bsky.social, coordinadora de l'uBMS, ens explica: "L'augment de la temperatura, la pèrdua d'hàbitat natural per l’agricultura intensiva i la urbanització, entre altres, afecten negativament moltes espècies de #papallones" 😥

Nova #papallona als parcs urbans de #Barcelona: el nostre voluntariat detecta per primera vegada la verdeta d’ull ros (Callophrys avis) en aquests espais i ja són 52 espècies de #papallones diürnes registrades a la capital catalana 🦋🤩 Obrim fil per explicar-ho en detall 🧵👇

De les més de 50 espècies de #papallones que podem veure als parcs i jardins de #Barcelona, només dues formen part de la família dels papiliònids (Papilionidae): la zebrada i la reina🦓👑 Son de les papallones més grans i boniques de #Catalunya 🦋😍 I tu, les has vist mai? 🤔

This new paper on the palaeoecology of Europe's woods is worth a read and helps explain why so many butterflies, and other insects, are associated with open areas in woods, or 'wood edge' habitats. An important message for conservation www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Talks, posters, debates… Our CREAF team was everywhere at #SIBECOLAEET2025 — not just sharing results, but asking: who is science for? Because “another #science is possible” isn’t just a theme. For us, it means putting degrowth, #diversity & sustainability at the heart of what we do.

No he trobat cap notícia sobre el tauró #pelegrí de #PortDeLSelva que parli de: - La mort d'una femella adulta. - D'una espècie protegida. - S’hauria d'abordar la temàtica de la captura 'accidental'? Només s'ha transmès el missatge senzill: “era molt gros, no menja nens i nenes."

In this new collaborative book we explore animal behavioural responses and population consequences in a set of environmental perturbations. Did you know some species fail while others thrive in challenging environments? How? Why? Impossible!? Check it out!
