Excited to see our paper on using biodiversity catalogs to understand bias in taxonomic effort with Siddharth Kulkarni, @Frankspiders, and @ArachnologyNerd published in BioScience (via @AIBSbiology) today!

@ryan_stlaurent @CUBoulder Congratulations Ryan! So happy to hear this!

I can't believe I finally get to say this - my PhD dissertation has been accepted with minor revisions (!!!!!) and I was awarded the UNE Chancellor’s Doctoral Research Medal for the quality of my research!! 🐝🪰🌻😁

[Dr. Ivan Magalhaes 🕷️ @6eyes8legs]

I just found out (through a desk-reject) that Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution no longer considers most papers based on Sanger sequences (only genomic datasets). It is quite ironic that countries that hold most of the biodiversity will be unable to publish in this journal...

[Cesár Estien, PhD 🇵🇸 @EstienCesar]

stoked to share the preprint for one my dissertation chapters! we use participatory science data across 6 major taxonomic clades to show that across California, historical redlining alters species richness as well as species assemblages!!

Happy b-day to curator @ArachnologyNerd, celebrating properly with a new scorpion species (found in CA's San Joaquin Desert), published today in @ZooKeys_Journal! https://t.co/Dz5zEzaA8O

A new study clarifies the evolutionary tree for a broad group of spiders and shows the power of extracting genetic info from museum arthropod collections.

My response to a recent article in the @nypost that criticized our lab's research on neonicotinoid insecticides. The intent of the article was to spread disinformation, fool the public, and influence policymakers. Please don't be fooled, folks.

Best talk I have heard in a long time. Learned a great deal and had my perspective shifted. I might have done more taxonomy work years ago had I heard it then. 🤩

[Kate Montana @katemontana98]

Check out my talk at #EntSoc23 on the most representative molecular phylogeny of the spider family Dictynidae. In the Building a Better Insect (or Arachnid 😁) Tree of Life Symposium on Tues 11/7 at 3:05 PM in Chesapeake E-F. Also in the symposium are @lgnewton10 + @entomolrj !!

[Dr. Ivan Magalhaes 🕷️ @6eyes8legs]

We just deposited a preprint of one of my dearest and longest projects, the phylogeny and biogeography of Micrathena spiny orb-weavers. I am truly happy!

Thanks to all my co-authors and photographers listed in the file

For Halloween, an oh-so-sweet story of spider togetherness: Congrats to our Arachnology Lab on their massive new pub proving that 3,400 species are all related despite being wildly ecologically different — adapted for caves, underwater, salt flats, & more! https://t.co/XlN6idvyVF

[Dr. Rebecca F. Johnson @RebaFay]

I’m so proud of our amazing @calacademy undergrad interns! They are all excellent scientists & people & I loved seeing them just rock #SACNAS2023!

[Lauren Esposito @ArachnologyNerd]

Could not be more proud of this team!

[Franklyn Cala-Riquelme. Dr. @Frankspiders]

Our latest paper on marronoid spiders is published! 🔥 congratulations @jacobgorneau @ArachnologyNerd @sarahnopidae @katemontana98 @A_la_Baianesca and others

Do you or someone you love study nocturnal animals? Do you want to film behavior in infrared, but NOT spend $1k on a camera (that will die in the field anyways)? Is short battery life a constant battle? Here, this preprint will help: https://t.co/nskCXg8Vcn
