New paper + new species: Tokara Leaf Warbler (𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴). Genome-wide nuclear + mtDNA, backed by song differences, show it’s distinct from Ijima’s Leaf Warbler despite near-identical morphology. We recommend protection/Vulnerable status and monitoring. buff.ly/VpQBCro

Why do insects migrate? One major driver is resource limitation. In the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui), we show how resource cues reshape gene expression across development.

Out in MEC!
New study led by @dariashipilina.bsky.social links resource limitation as a driver of migration in the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui). The authors show how resource cues reshape gene expression across development.
