Stemming from research from the Jason Bond laboratory at the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, a new genus of California trapdoor spiders, the Promyrmekiaphila korematsui, has been named after Fred Korematsu. Learn more here: https://t.co/rSRokFbPn5
Always exciting to read about a new species but even more special to be part of the process of describing it! So grateful to have been part of this work 🕷️
Happy to introduce Promyrmekiaphila korematsui, named in honor of the civil rights activist. #FredKorematsu resisted internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. Authored with @JochimEmma@irisquayle@XZahnle and @Jason_E_Bond

I'm recruiting PhD students for Fall 2024 through the EBE program @BU_Biology! I'm excited to mentor students from a diversity of backgrounds and a variety of career goals/interests. Reach out to me if you are interested in tropical beetle ecology and/or biodiversity genomics!
Thank you so much to @Jason_E_Bond@LChamberland8@jim_starrett for listening to my practice talks, giving invaluable advice, and getting me conference ready! I’m so grateful that my first presentation went so well and that I get to study such beautiful beetles 🪲
Congrats to the incredible Iris Quayle of the Jason Bond lab, #ucdavis. She's a first-year doctoral student who won first place in the doctoral student competition at #PBESA meeting. She studies 'white' darkling beetles. Well done! Well deserved! https://t.co/7XVZLuibtI
