Hierarchical woven fibrillar structures in developing single gyroids in butterflies | PNAS
Nature offers a remarkable diversity of nanomaterials that have extraordinary functional
and structural properties. Intrinsic to nature is the impr...
Our new butterfly gyroid paper is out! We found that the gyroid nanostructure embedded within the wing scales of Parides sesostris butterflies develops in the pupa as a gyroid made up of entangled fibres.

Global selection on insect antipredator coloration
Natural selection has repeatedly led to the evolution of two alternative antipredator color strategiesβcamouflage to avoid detection and aposematism to advertise unprofitabilityβbut we lack understand...
Wa hoo! Our paper in Science is out today, revealing why some prey use conspicuous warning colouration while others use camouflaging colours. A huge global collaboration under incredible leadership by Iliana Medina and @wlallen.bsky.social

Loved working on this collaboration with @jenkelley01.bsky.social and so happy to see it published. The three-dimensional appearance that these moths create on their flat wings is really remarkable and it was great fun characterising the effect.
