Ever wonder what all the range maps of all the #butterfly species of North America look like when overlaid on each other? I did, and in finding out, made some glam (semi-)@accidental__aRt ! #sciencetwitter

📣Michigan State is hiring an Assistant/Associate Professor & Curator of Vertebrate Collections!

Neat opportunity for anyone who does collection-based research on vertebrates. https://t.co/RMRzlpqAnK

@masonfidino @ShenRaphael right! reminds me of a paper that came out recently in a very high profile journal from a environmental economist that made "causal" claims that I found to be nothing more than correlational salad from an ecology perspective!

CALLING ALL BIRD NERDS we are hiring Asst Prof Avian Ecology at UW Seattle! Please apply, or spread the word: https://t.co/AW9CebFMGu

Hmm, interesting results. But I am uneasy when such large-scale correlational analyses that gesture at causation are based entirely on aggregate data, without having a single corroborative conversation with anyone in the communities involved. https://t.co/4FtFxbuye7

Congrats, Daijiang! I've learned a lot working with you over the years!

Check out this amazing online course @ithinkbiology .. Very lucky to be a part of it and learn as well from Dr. Abha Rao..please RT and promote the course

Cities have a heat problem which can have disastrous consequences for those trapped inside. A new study looks at moths, taking into account their complex life cycle, and how they fare in human-developed environments.

Paper on mega-genus Astragalus is officially out! We focused on biogeographic problems in the arid North Hemisphere. A broader point of interest is the large-scale study of plant edaphic ecology, something I hope there is more of in the future.
