Beyond happy to publish our findings (and my first paper!!) on the Grizzled Skipper 🦋 @savebutterflies

[Diversity & Distributions @consbiog]

Are Grizzled Skippers stuck in the south of the UK? Modelling long-term abundance trends of a threatened butterfly show steeper declines in the north, and no observed benefit from climate change. @BellFionaA

@pongthprm @Jordanelouise_ Thank you!! 😊

[Fiona Bell @BellFionaA]

Great start to the second day of #ACCEconf2021 with so many inspiring talks- including growing food in cities from @jilledmondson25 and choosing sites for the Chequered Skipper from @Ghalford6 🥕🦋

[Fiona Bell @BellFionaA]

@bc_cambs_essex Looking forward to talking about skippers and hearing about everyone's work!

[Fiona Bell @BellFionaA]

Very interesting study, definitely worth a read!

I suppose it maybe could be, but can never tell without a pic!

@hollycoombes @b6mup @pheromoneEvo @StuartWigby Congratulations Holly!! 🎉🎉

[Flora the Zoologist @zoologist_flora]

We wrote a paper!! Want to know about anti-fungal immune responses (starring white-nose disease!), and how hibernation comes into it? Free access for 48 days, so get it while it’s hot! 🦇🦇🦇

@ChrisCorrigan3 @BCSussex @RichardFoxBC @martinswarren @savebutterflies @sdnpa Hoping that they wake up soon!! 🌞🦋

@BellFionaA @ChrisCorrigan3 @hartshill18hay1 @TempleBalsall @savebutterflies I would also add that a meta=population occupying 70% of the sites in a landscape is also very important. Range has declined in range but number of colonies has increased because of landscape connectivity through management & habitat creation

[Fiona Bell @BellFionaA]

@ChrisCorrigan3 @hartshill18hay1 @TempleBalsall @savebutterflies Yes, definitely- I would say getting the habitat right is crucial!

[Fiona Bell @BellFionaA]

@ChrisCorrigan3 @savebutterflies Very exciting to see this up😊Short piece I wrote discussing our recent paper on the Grizzled Skipper 🦋 (you can read the full article here! https://t.co/guQX7oj6jn)

[Fiona Bell @BellFionaA]

@hollycoombes Congratulations Holly!! 🎉

[Fiona Bell @BellFionaA]

@MikeSlater5 @savebutterflies @LivUni @UKSVN @StudentVolWeek Thank you Mike! Looking forward to stopping back in Cov to see the skippers (without my cones this time!!) 🦋

[Fiona Bell @BellFionaA]

@MelanieMosaics @savebutterflies @LivUni @UKSVN @StudentVolWeek Thanks Melanie! Will try to keep my twitter up to date with our findings 🙂

[Fiona Bell @BellFionaA]

@ChrisCorrigan3 Thanks for the kind words! Hope our findings will be helpful for the hardworking folks on the ground planning/managing conservation efforts 🦋

@martinswarren @BellFionaA @savebutterflies At our site Hutchinsons Bank, the GS have benefitted from work on scrapes for Small Blues, and their population has increased due to the bare ground and foodplant increase. There have been increases in f. taras too. about 40% of population sometimes.
