Returned from a stellar 10 days in the Colombian Andes in the pursuit of land snails. Very thankful to Cristina Rueda Dr Rebekka Allgayer Lesley Lancaster Fabio Manfredini Thomas Bodey (& others not on Twitter) for their incredible company & stimulating discussion. See you again next year!

Citizen science data analysed by @salty_daSilva and @sarah_e_diamond show that North American butterflies are shifting their ranges away from regions that are heating the fastest, and towards regions that are getting wetter. 🦋 read the blog post here: buff.ly/3W70308

Grateful to have spent the week contributing to @rdudaniec #ARC #FutureFellowship project on bee health 🐝

Generalism in species interactions is more the consequence than the cause of ecological success rdcu.be/dO2Tr

An analysis of nearly 44,000 mutualistic, commensalistic and parasitic interactions suggests that a species’ ecological generalism results from, rather than causes, ecological success. rdcu.be/dO2VJ

Is it time for a ✅ reality check ✅ on the use of species' traits to predict of biodiversity outcomes? 🌏 Check out my 'News and Views' in NatureEcoEvo nature.com/articles/s4155… Free to read version: rdcu.be/dO2Ge

New research by Garben Logghe and colleagues: "unravelling arthropod movement in natural landscapes: Small-scale effects of body size and weather conditions" 🐜 buff.ly/4cqpiPS

After looking at parental care in kestrels (for longer, but work in progress still), here's a nice study on burying beetles led by @Karendeep_Sidhu . Gotta love creatures who dig carrion! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper: any ecological/evolutionary process that is area-dependent is affected by mountain geometry. We explore the interaction of mountain geometry with rates of altitudinal dispersal, evolutionary diversification (λ), and ecological niche breadth (K). doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

Altitudinal dispersal plays a stronger role in maintaining highland than lowland diversity due to mountain geometry. doi.org/10.1093/evlett… Now in Evolution Letters by Leonel Herrera Alsina, R Parvanova, J Guirguis, Greta Bocedi, L Trethowan, Lesley Lancaster, @JMJTravis 📷: Leonel Herrera Alsina
