Wow! Painted lady butterflies migrate from Western Europe via West Africa to Amazonia, carried in Saharan winds. A wonderful example of intercontinental ecological connection …
A study in @NatureComms presents a 4,200 km transatlantic journey by butterflies from West Africa to South America, lasting five to eight days, highlighting the capacity of certain insects to disperse over vast distances. go.nature.com/4cArAx4
ALT This is figure 4, which shows that Vanessa cardui transoceanic dispersers likely developed as larvae in Western Europe.

I posted my review article here a few days ago and I am very happy with that. But I need to share something bad that happened.
I am the first author of this work, but Revista USP, an excellence Brazilian periodic simply changed the authorship placing my advisor as the 1st author

Amazing piece of work to understand the evolution of chemical defenses as drivers of coexistence, host chase and community assembly lead by @MaraJosEndara1 just came out in @AnnualReviews. Congrats!!!

Check out our paper 1st authored by my postdoc @MichaelKEcology that just came out in @ScienceMagazine. Thanks to our collaborator Joseph Wright at @stri_panama and to our other homebases @texas_IB @OdenInstitute @UMichEEB
(1/4) How can hundreds of tree species coexist in tropical forests? Turns out adults of dozens of tree species on #barrocolorado (BCI) strongly repel their own kind, reflecting large niche differences. Check out our new paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Great piece by @hertonescobar on our paper led by @JamesAl0410008 published today @ScienceMagazine. The message is clear: The destruction of the Amazon will have catastrophic effects on the whole Planet. We need to stop deforestation now. #theamazonwewant

After a long incubation, @ClementLarue1 and myself are proud to present our new research piece published in @molecology on chestnut pollination. Here is a 🧵 on our findings with some reference to Darwin’s work to put it into perspective.

Not a bad deal for these two #GreatLakes books -- $22 less than what you'd pay on Amazon

Q. But wait, Lula is already president, what do the protesters want?
A. Many hope that by creating chaos, Brazil’s military will have “no choice” but to intervene — and then they will take protesters’ side and ultimately install Bolsonaro again as president.
Yep, it’s crazy.

Sad to say some of the images out of Brazil look even worse than Jan 6. Pro-Bolsonaro protesters absolutely trashing Congress, Supreme Court & presidential palace
A destruição do @STF_oficial visto por dentro. Atos de terroristas a mando do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro causam intensa desordem na Capital.
