Ah so LLMs operate like senior male academics. Who could have envisioned that technology trained on existing texts could operate in a fundamentally conservative nature

👀Behind the Paper👀 Author Caitlin Terry discusses drought and thermal tolerances in tropical tree species, freezing leaf samples in a bedroom transformed into a lab, and their love for maggot research!🌳🌡️ Read it here👇️ buff.ly/nhjn76f @caitlin-ento.bsky.social 🧪🌍️

Graphical abstract for Maziarz et al. (2026) Bird nests support a diverse, dynamic and distinctive macroarthropod community on the forest floor. Insect Conservation and Diversity, 1–14. Really enjoyed doing this one, and don’t forget to check out the paper!! #sciart #entomology

📣 New paper 🎉 Proud to have helped with this nice study by @wlangdon12.bsky.social showing a trade-off between nutritional quality & microclimate of host plants for Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas). Here in England, they choose warmth over nutrition resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Happy Year of the Horse everyone! 🐎🧧 新年快樂，心想事成！祝大家今年步步高陞,龍馬精神，萬馬奔騰，萬事如意！ Tricky time finding a suitably "horse-y" invertebrate for y'all, but the Saddleback Catterpillar (𝘈𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘢 - photo by Mathew Orwat) is pretty close imo! 🏇 #LunarNewYear #YearoftheHorse #ChineseNewYear #春節 #Bugsky

Periodic reminder that moa de-extinction could lead to net biodiversity loss due to conservation deprioritisation of extant species. The (re)introduction process of any resultant genetically-modified Emus will very expensive www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Ornithology

This month and year-round, ESA takes pride in the community of LGBTQ+ scientists who contribute to advancing entomology. ESA is committed to fostering a safe, welcoming professional society for entomologists. #LGBTQ+ #PrideMonth. #EntoDEI 🧵

spotted lanternfly peeps, check out this new paper from my labmate Katherine's masters work! super cool application of community science in NYC ~ doi.org/10.3954/JAUE...

figure I should introduce myself on this website! I'm a first-year PhD student in the Entomology program at Cornell, interested broadly in the impacts of climate change on insect populations, and currently developing a project on long-term trends in apple maggot 🐛🍎 happy to be here!
