The students in #ZOO2700 have been mailing us their face mite strips! I think the mail person is wondering why I’m getting so much mail. Today we will continue to search for and barcode the mites. #facemites #demodex

We are very excited to share the practical materials of our workshop as a free self-contained online course: https://t.co/egi2Upq5Bd Suitable for the complete novice to learn step-by-step or for an experienced bioinformatician to find something new! #H2020 #metabarcoding #ibiogen

Happy Groundhog Day! In 1970, Zoology Prof Robert Walker and 2 students used watchtowers on 22-acres of former OAC research farm north of College Ave to study groundhogs. They found that groundhogs’ statuses are dependent on how much territory they control. #LivingLab #Arbat50

"We must treat the specimens in our collections with ever more care. They are no longer simply samples of wild populations from which more will be available," write Drs. Scott Miller @smithsonian @NMNH and Peter Raven @mobotgarden @ISBER_ORG

The trap was relocated as to not disturb the moose any further

NEWS: There is a new report on plants and animals found only in Canada. It is called "Ours to Save" by @NCC_CNC and @natureserve. It lists 308 endemic species but just 10% are globally secure. Thanks @IvanSemeniuk for this story. https://t.co/WrLTbLZX44 #EnvironmentWeek #nature

Today we mourn the loss of our friend and colleague Terry Erwin, Research Entomologist and Curator of Coleoptera. Terry started his career @NMNH nearly 50 years ago, in July 1970.

#COVIDー19 has made clear the urgent need to better understand #biodiversity in order to protect it, our ecosystems, our health. This is the aim of our new global research program, #BIOSCAN: https://t.co/7J434ztyGg

With everything happening, let's enjoy some cool flies like this spiky Anatrichus (Chloropidae) from Bangladesh with fused tergites! #biodiversity #taxonomy #diptera @CBG_UofG @CBGCollections

Look at this beautiful yellow, green, and blue coloured bee! Collected in Guanacaste, Costa Rica #IlluminateBiodiversity #bee #insect #entomology #biodiversity #DNAbarcoding #CostaRica

Check out this small-headed fly (family #Acroceridae) that we found in one of our #Costarican malaise traps! Larvae in this family are parasitoids, developing inside the bodies of spiders! #IlluminateBiodiversity #BIOSCAN #biodiversity #diptera #fly #entomology
