‘tis the season to be aware of Christmas beetle decline. “Researchers point to several possible causes including drought, climate change and the loss of eucalypt forest and woodland habitats, which are essential for the beetles’ survival.” 🪲 🪳 🌏 www.northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au/council/news...

I’m going to LOVE adding this next part of the story to #ZOO2700 in January!

Looking for a PhD opportunity? I'm hoping to recruit someone to my group at Durham University to work on a project combining fieldwork and labwork to study speciation in rubyspot damselflies: iapetus.ac.uk/studentships... Get in touch if you want to chat!

I’ve released a tool to sketch and edit phylogenetic trees! yawak.jp/PhyloWeaver/ Load a Newick file and intuitively add/remove/resize branches. Useful for quick conceptual trees, extracting subtrees, or turning ideas into Newick.

Skating into the weekend . . . like a cartilaginous fish! Related to sharks w/wings for hovering & flying over the seafloor & a long, whiplike tail for steering. We see them during ROV dives, burrowed into the sediment, utterly still until they can ambush their next meal. 235m #Taleof2Canyons

[New Paper] Two shrimp species, Rimicaris loihi and R. cambonae, live side by side at hydrothermal vents — yet remain genetically distinct. Our genomic data and decadal sampling reveal insights on their demography and speciation! Out now in Molecular Ecology, OPEN ACCESS: doi.org/10.1111/mec....
