Butterfly Diversity & Evolution Lab

Desde ZERYNTHIA, mediante un proyecto financiado con fondos europeos del MITECO identificamos una nueva subpoblación en Orce. Contamos con la colaboración del IBE - CSIC.

Constant Bloom, bridging science and art, nature and human societies, is being displayed in New York and Taiwan, and is scheduled in other top art museums.

We never imagined our scientific articles would be displayed in an art museum!

Thanks so much, Lucas, for the joint experiences in Kenya, following the migrating butterflies, and in The Hague, admiring the outcome of your work!

Being invited to the opening of the photo exhibition Constant Bloom in Fotomuseum Den Haag was a privilege. The author, Lucas Foglia, followed the migration of Vanessa cardui across 17 countries to show how this butterfly connects societies, an art project that won the 2024 Guggenheim Fellowship.

Photos: Scientists trace a butterfly migration route that is millions of years old Scientists have recently mapped the painted lady butterfly's annual flight from equatorial Africa to northern Europe and back, the world's longest butterfly migration. In Constant Bloom, photographer ...

Scientists have recently mapped the painted lady butterfly's annual flight from equatorial Africa to northern Europe and back, the world's longest butterfly migration. In Constant Bloom, photographer Lucas Foglia documents the journey.

1/6) New paper out in Molecular Ecology! We uncover the intriguing biogeographic history behind the Holarctic disjunct distributions in Vanessa butterflies. @phylomigrationlab.bsky.social

The disguise is completed by chemical mimicry: the surface chemical hydrocarbons are identical to those of the termites. See the discovery and analyses published in @CurrentBiology Blow fly larvae socially integrate termite nests through morphological and chemical mimicry

The false eyes are the spiracles through which it breathes. The body is surrounded by “tentacles” that imitate the termite antennas, so that it can communicate with multiple termites simultaneously.

It’s not the head, it’s the butt!
Meet a completely unknown organism: a blow fly (Calliphoridae) that evolved social integration in termite nests using a false termite head in the posterior part of the body.
