Check out the graphical abstract for a paper recently published in Ecological Modelling. I have papers published in Ecological Modelling. Never again, I guess.

Looking forward to it - come and chat about molecular adaptations to heat

I have arrived in Barcelona for ESEB 2025! I will be talking about microRNA and the evolution of the mammalian placenta on Tuesday at 14:30 in Meeting Room 113 @eseb2025.bsky.social

Winter ASAB @asab.org on *Sensory Ecology* register and submit your abstracts now (abstract deadline just a month away)! I'm organising the conference this year with @lauraakelley.bsky.social and Innes Cuthill Register & get more info here: asabwinter.github.io/2025/

Gorgeous natural history and gorgeous photos!

So very excited for the magnum opus of my #PhD to finally be out in @pnas.org. 🎉🎉 We demosntrate that mutualistic co-mimicking tropical butterflies not only converge in light microhabitat but, as a consequence, have also converged in visual system morphology! 1/n😀 www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Latest from the Nature Podcast 🔊 3D-printed fake wasps help explain bad animal mimicry https://go.nature.com/4lcluqU

Thank you Tom Sherratt and Karl Loeffler-Henry for the excellent commentary on our article

Why do imperfect mimics (such as many hoverflies) exist? We created 3D printed replicas of flies, wasps and our own custom intermediates and then "asked" various predators what they thought of our 3D stimuli. Read all about it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Brilliant preprint out from some lab colleagues - do check it out

After being very quiet on social media for a couple of years, I've been spurred to get organised by a bit of good news that I'd like to share very soon. Watch this space!
