Also #AJB has some of the nicest editorial staff around. Working with them was a real pleasure!

I really enjoyed reading this article. Thought-provoking about the privileges many of us have (or not).

My dog looks a lot like your cat. (We also have a cat.)

Today I am randomly scrolling Bluesky and liking nature posts. “Like” just doesn’t feel right for anything about politics right now.

Congratulations on getting it out!

Voltinism Shifts in Response to Climate Warming Generally Benefit Populations of Multivoltine Butterflies Insects may respond to climate warming by advancing phenology and increasing the number of generations each year (voltinism). However, one concern is that earlier phenology changes cue-response relat...

New paper with Erica Henry & @nickhaddad.bsky.social
Q: What happens when butterflies, responding to climate warming, attempt an extra generation as summers get longer?
A: Long-term monitoring shows overwinter population growth increases! 🧪🦋🐛https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ele.70018
