Really happy that a moth made it to the cover of @Nature! Thanks to my co-author Gunnar Brehm for this great photo 📸

🦋 New paper out!

Dry moth specimens retain only 30-40% of their original body mass. We derived correction factors to estimate fresh weight from museum collections.

🦋 What if we could automatically extract traits from thousands of Lepidoptera specimens?

We present LEPY, a Python pipeline for automated extraction of morphological and colour traits from Lepidoptera images!

We applied LEPY to moth datasets (Sphingidae & Saturniidae) along an elevational gradient in the Peruvian Andes.

The results show taxon-specific changes in morphology and colour traits with elevation.

The pipeline measures several traits including:

📏 body length
🪽 forewing length
📐 specimen area

and colour traits such as:

🎨 hue, saturation, brightness
🌈 UV reflectance
📊 colour diversity (Shannon index)

Big effort, exciting results - our paper on the constraints of thermal limits in tropical insects is now out in @Nature! 🦋🐝🪰🪲🦗 @ANDIV1234

Quiero compartir con ustedes esta guía en inglés de los esfíngidos de Bogotá que hice en colaboración con el Colegio Campestre.

La guía es gratuita en digital, y tenemos unas pocas copias físicas a 50 mil.

Mándame un MP si te interesa tenerla :)

🧵 1/ New study on squamate color evolution hits the press: we show that brightness variation in lizards & snakes is strongly linked to habitat openness 🌞 https://t.co/Jxd46s0rkb

[Jesse Barber @BarberLab]

On Jan. 1, I start as a Professor and Curator at the American Museum of Natural History. I am recruiting PhD students and Postdoctoral scholars. Happy to discuss GRFP and PRFB applications. Reach out if you are interested in sensory ecology questions!

[Sofía López @SofiaLop11]

Busco estudiante ya sea de pregrado (pasantía o trabajo de grado) o estudiante que esté inscrito a una maestría que quiera desarrollar su tesis para muestrear hormigas en 24 fincas cafeteras de Cundinamarca. El proyecto es financiado por la universidad de Melbourne (Australia).

[Dr. Akito Kawahara @Dr_Akito]

If you’re a prospective graduate student or postdoc from the US interested in working in my lab on butterfly+moth evolution, genetics, behavior, conservation, please contact me! We can help you write a strong NSF GRFP or PRFB proposal to get you funded! Both are due this fall.
