At #EOU2025 @eounion.bsky.social conference next week, we'll show new evidence implicating forestry in declines of British Marsh Tits during the era of woodland conversion in 1950/60s-1980s.
This was period of steepest decline in Marsh Tits. Why? What was going on back then? #ornithology 1/5

Good morning everyone!

Here's a happy little butterfly #scape for #FlowersOnFriday 🦋🌞

Hope you have a great weekend ahead 😎

A single orange Queen butterfly sits dead center of the photo, sitting on a single outstretched flower at an angle from another series of stems that run mostly the opposite way diagonally. Background is blurry greens, yellows, and whites with a hint of a white fence. Photo is very grainy.

Blessed to find this beautiful electric blue Faxonius virilis while sampling the St. Lawrence for my doctoral work! This is a fairly rare phenotype for this native North American species!

1/ A 🧵 on some recent research by our lab on invasive crayfish:
Sheppard et al (2024) found that projected climate warming in the Great Lakes will reduce the maximum feeding rate & increase the frequency & duration of gravid states of marbled crayfish.
