📢🦋Paper: butterfly trends over the past 166 years Rather than systematic declines, @tiff-ki.bsky.social & others found evidence of reshuffling in butterfly community composition; some species becoming more common, others staying stable & some declining. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

📢Publication alert! Research led by Dr Tiffany Ki integrates museum and citizen science records to reveal a 166 year story of tropical butterflies. Published this week by @royalsocietypublishing.org Find out more: bit.ly/3JgJJq3 @yorkuniversity.bsky.social @nhm-london.bsky.social

Really glad to see this exciting and fun work from my PhD out - huge thanks to @janehillyork.bsky.social @cmbeale.bsky.social and Dr Blanca Huertas! Next summer, going to go to Sulawesi to link two of these regions with present day surveys! 🦋

🎓🎉Huge congratulations to all our graduates! A fantastic achievement and a lovely day celebrating all your hard work with family and friends.

Check out this exciting full-funded 4 year PhD opportunity for UK applicants with @inesismartins.bsky.social and @cmbeale.bsky.social at York!

The successful defence of a thesis is always great: Congrats @tiff-ki.bsky.social! She's now here on bluesky so follow her for more insect science in museums! [Have to admit I first read this as listing me as a coconspirator. This probably isn't far wrong: supervising Tiff was fun!]

Congratulations Tiff on your successful viva. 🥳 Fabulous study of Sulawesi butterflies 🦋 Many thanks to examiners @owentlewis.bsky.social & Kanchon Dasmahapatra. Proud cosupervisors @cmbeale.bsky.social and Blanca Huertas (not in picture)
