Nice to see mention of Anna Orteu’s work on genetics of colour and mimicry in Hypolimnas butterflies!
Excited to see this out!
Generalovic et al. studied the genetics of the black soldier fly, finding two highly divergent genetic clusters and signatures of domestication bottlenecks in this key species for the global industry of insects food and feed.

🚨Job claxon🚨
4-year #Postdoc available in our lab in @camzoology.bsky.social developing molecular and anatomical approaches to mapping evolutionary changes in the brain, using #Heliconiini butterflies.
Come join us, we are nice. 🧪

This is AMAZING
There are few researchers for whom an entire field is so clearly distinct before and after their work. The gap between evolutionary biology "before Joe" and "after Joe" is just awesome. It is a measurably different enterprise, and the reach of his influence doesn't end at the phylogeny. Hats off!
Thanks Chris 🙏 Beautiful work.
Somehow I'm finding myself blogging more and more about lepidoptera :) kamounlab.medium.com/postcard-fro...

In an age of growing tension between north and south, one ordinary orange butterfly flutters freely across continents, unbothered by border…
#Bugsky 🐙🌿 Shared with me by a fof in SoCal - this is a gynandromorph (both male & female) valley carpenter bee (Xylocopa sonorina). Females are black, males orange, so the extreme color dimorphism really stands out. Per Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, bee gynandromorphs he’s seen are mosaic instead—

The big animals get the posters. But the small, slow, multi-million-year relationships are where the hidden magic of the savanna truly resides.

Professor Joe Felsenstein FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. After initially working on population genetics theory of recombination, of migration, and of speciation, his main focus has been on phylogenetic inference. #RSFellows https://royalsociety.org/people/joseph-felsenstein-38106/

I just published: Postcard from Kenya: Big animals, toxic plants, and the small print of the savanna
A few days at Kapiti, where the savanna’s most memorable lessons hide between a fresh pile of cheetah droppings, an invasive thorn, and a butterfly’s clever disguise.
