Following coverage over the weekend of Sir Paul Nurse's comments that suggested that the only reason that a Fellow should be expelled from @royalsociety.org is scientific misconduct, I have written to him to explain the risks such an attitude poses of increasing sexual harassment in STEM.
🤩We’re excited to announce our winner of Capturing Ecology🤩
🐊Zeke Rowe, @zekerowe.bsky.social, with their photo 'Wouldn't hurt a fly'🪰
Taken in Panama, the image shows an American crocodile fixing the camera with its golden eyes, utterly unmoved as blood-sucking horse flies feed on its snout.
Stoked that this is out now @royalsocietypublishing.org Proceedings B. See thread 4 main results + humidity also influence wing shape! Thankful to my co-authors and so many more people. 🦋❤️

Day 1 @behaviour2025.bsky.social, some great talks and excited to speak tomorrow!

European rabbits use their white tails to warn others of danger and ward off predators, revealing the dual function of a single animal signalling behaviour. Using both field observations and phylogen....
1/3 Excited that my final PhD MS is online! Big thanks to Ullasa (PI) (vanasiri.in) & collaborators Freerk and Urszula. Turns out humidity, not just temperature, plays a major role in butterfly eyespot plasticity. doi.org/10.1101/2025...
