This stunning slow-motion footage of the green dragontail butterfly was filmed by Kazuo Unno in northern Thailand. Lamproptera meges are a species of swallowtail butterfly that can be found throughout Asia [full video: https://t.co/DNRbreqVMk]

First day on the job at our new greenhouses at IKIAM in Tena, Ecuador! (not actually the ones in the background...) With @borreroja and Shane Wright

Haldane's Rule hybrid sterility is complex, in butterflies as well as flies. https://t.co/2gkLJiePwE

Light environment influences mating behaviours during the early stages of divergence in tropical butterflies https://t.co/GDhjH2SKaf

Unsure right now if the outlook for 2021 is bleak or optimistic but thankfully my contingencies for both involve copious amounts of Yorkshire Tea so at least I'm somewhat prepared

Rain or shine.... (or in this case, snow!)

Really love when research is combined with other media, this video really captures the importance of diversity in our forests and justifies these kinds of studies

I second this! Very good video with stunning views

Neil Rosser, the best field worker I've met, has a new paper on the Amazon river as a suture zone for butterflies due to a partial barrier effect. Collaborative effort with Brazilian colleagues. https://t.co/6L4WbByhpC Part funded by NatGeo - movie too https://t.co/pfBPcQnkfx

@Hanliconius Thanks for the tip! Never going back....

[Alexander Hausmann @ralex042]

Excited to share the first paper I contributed to during my PhD. Great work from Matteo!

New paper out by Alex Hausmann et al. from my new lab! Really interesting and underappreciated effect of the light environment on mating behaviour in #Heliconius!

New preprint from me, Matteo Rossi, Owen McMillan and @DickMerrill. Only took 8 years, but it’s always fun to work with friends and the PhD students they stole from you...

[Lucie Queste @LMQueste]

@eohomo @lizlizliz1000 @Hanliconius I have! It's surprising how small the stumps can get actually... They just compensate by increasing their wing beat frequency

[Lucie Queste @LMQueste]

@DickMerrill @EvoBioMunich @ERC_Research I'm very excited to get started!

[Lucie Queste @LMQueste]

@eohomo Phew! I had planned on saying lots of horrible things about your interview method

[Lucie Queste @LMQueste]

Giving a presentation to my lab about applying to and getting a post-doc (as I’ve just gone through it) – what are some good interview questions you like to ask or have been asked?

[Lucie Queste @LMQueste]

@eohomo You're welcome to join! I'll let you know the details

[Lucie Queste @LMQueste]

@freyagarry Great advice for sure! That's got to be the first priority. I also like it when people ask questions not directly related to the project, helps get a better idea of who they are. You're not just hiring for the job, you're hiring someone you're going to be working with everyday!
