Denise D Dell'Aglio

We are grateful to The Company of Biologists for publishing our article on behaviours reminiscent of orientation flights in Heliconiini butterflies in Journal of Experimental Biology. As an early-career researcher, I am very pleased by the Open Access publication. University of Bristol has a Read & Publish agreement which facilitates the publication process and allows us to share our findings with a wide audience without financial barriers. We are excited with the opportunity of sharing our science with everyone. Phot of Denise Dalbosco Dell'Aglio, University of Bristol, UK

Thank you Denise Dalbosco Dell'Aglio @ficusorganensis.bsky.social @ebablab.bsky.social for sharing your experience of fee-free #OA publishing @jexpbiol.bsky.social via our #ReadAndPublish agreement @bristolbiosci.bsky.social

A fluorescent confocal microscopy image of a butterfly wing scale showing the surface and internal structures

We are looking for a physics/maths graduate with an interest in biology, or a biology graduate with strong computational/mathematical skills/interests, to join us as a PhD student working on biomechanical modelling of butterfly wing scale structure formation www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Another is this hovering flight where they dance back and forth around before landing, again they do this repeatedly in a feeding bout… they also do it to artificial flowers that lack floral odours… 5/n

One pronounced behaviour are circular flights around a floral resource, where they turn back on themselves in a loop. They do this repeatedly while feeding; loop, feed, repeat… 4/n

Really like this paper, led by @ficusorganensis.bsky.social, the supplementary videos aren’t up yet but will post them when I’m back in the office!

An illustration of an anthropomorphized montane longwing butterfly skipping through the air whimsically. It's mostly black with a stripe of sulphur white on the side of its thorax, top wing, and around its eyes. There are also some fades of red on its bottom wing and wing joints. Its top wing is almost twice as long as its bottom wing, its limbs are lanky, its abdomen thin and its thorax fluffy. It touches the brim of the woven hat on its head, maybe tipping it politely to whoever its passing.

Achei que era esse o objetivo, de mostrar como o sistema social está defasado. Aliás toda a série mostra as falhas de todo processo, do início ao final.

#Butterfly people - do any of you know any references for the ways in which butterflies fly around flowers when feeding? 🙏🏻 I can’t much but I find it hard to believe some diligent flutterologist hasn’t sketched this out…
