New episode with Yash Sondhi PhD @mothyash (yashsondhi.com). Why moths get trapped around artificial light. Find out more in this episode at restoringdarkness.com.

Hey twitter fam, as Open access and APC fees rise, does anyone know of publishers / journals for profit or non profit affiliations in ecology and evolution? I've been trying to get more submissions to non profit organisations like Royal Society or PLOS. #OpenAccess #equity

Our latest paper (publ. by Association for Tropical Lepidoptera) reports 10 exciting new additions to the Indian moth fauna. Several detailed descriptions and images of genitalia with habitus images of the previously unreported moths are also provided in the paper. 🦋🔎 Link to📃: journals.flvc.org/troplep/articl…

Hummingbirds use a novel control strategy for forward and hovering flight 👇 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Hi Folks: One month after hiring me, CDFW decided to cut CA's human-wildlife conflict program for the next fiscal year, to the immense detriment of myself, many staff, & Californians. By accepting this job, I had declined other offers. I am now seeking alternatives. Thank you💙

Really timely issue. Monitoring in the global south is key and finding ways to restore habitats using these tools to test restoration success is going to become increasingly important royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

🚨#PhDposition in our group! #insect #vision #flight You are curious about how moths adjust their vision & movement dynamically to night-time lights (incl. #ALAN): apply to become part of the team - roof jumps included (insect-vision.com) t.ly/QDkZS 📢pl RT

I completely agree, novelty is overrated in community impact, it's trust and relationships that take time to form. It's not about re-inventing the wheel for broader impacts.

Students+postdocs at #ICE2024 ! If you're interested in evolution, genetics, behavior, etc -I'm looking for a new grad student+PD to join my lab FLORIDA Florida Museum. Its a great dept working on many areas of biodiversity science! Please DM + schedule to chat International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP

How does one species become two? Yash Sondhi (Yash Sondhi) and team caught evolution in the act when they observed differences in a gene that regulates circadian rhythms in a group of moths that have become separated in time. ☀️ 🌙 Story & study: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/moths-…
