My new book is out!!!

It grew out of my search for the world’s rarest butterfly.

Dashboard cooking and @AmysKitchen burritos still the best field lunch ever. A staple for two decades at the @SRScorridor. In 90+ temps

Great story! Learning to identify butterflies is in reach. Counts by thousands of people make up the best long term data 🦋 And there are practical means to forestall rapid butterfly decline.

More bad news for butterflies. Our new paper led by Wendy Leuenberger shows common species are declining even more rapidly than rare ones. @ZipkinLab

An essential paper, one that will guide conservation and restoration for landscape connectivity at local to global scales. https://t.co/uXzkLp4Gcs

2 early-career scholars bringing integrative research collaborations across 4 departments in 2 colleges, & thoughtful community engagement, are the next @michiganstateu Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows @EEB_MSU.

Congratulations Rebecca Nelson and Nicole Lussier!

.@michiganstateu students and W.K. Kellogg Forest volunteers helped with prescribed burns conducted for Dr. Lars Brudvig and Dr. Nick Haddad on pollinator prairies at @KelloggBioStn. This is part of the Conservation Lands Experiment through @KBSLTER.

Our new paper led by Tyson Wepprich is out. When warmer temperatures increase the number of butterfly generations in a year, population growth rates are higher https://t.co/mkHSYrIFJX

CHE MONDO SAREBBE, SENZA FARFALLE? 🦋
Tutti i naturalisti con la barba bianca, in diverse parti del mondo, notano che ci sono meno farfalle.
Purtroppo mancano i dati oggettivi: da ragazzi non contavamo le farfalle.
Ora qualche dato solido inizia a arrivare

Our paper led by Thiago Gonçalves-Souza is out. Habitat fragmentation and habitat loss reduce biodiversity. @Nate_J_Sanders @Jon_Chase03

Results from 37 studies distributed worldwide, on plants and animals, comparing continuous and fragmented landscapes.

De los grandes privilegios que tengo donde vivo, es poder disfrutar aún de las mariposas. Pensar que ya existen personas en este mundo que nunca han visto una.

The paper is accompanied by a great commentary by Rob Fletcher

[Nick Haddad @nickmhaddad]

Resolves part of a 1/2 century old debate about whether habitat fragmentation reduces biodiversity, above and beyond habitat loss. We find that it does.

[Nick Haddad @nickmhaddad]

Elise Zipkin and I had a great time talking with @flichtman about butterfly decline in the US, including possible causes and opportunities for recovery. @scifri
