#Banwa Private Island in Palawan became the first mosquito-free island in the #Philippines . This was the first island we tackled there. The results are truly amazing, and the team was able to make this island #mosquitofree within just 4 months.

Out now in Ecology Letters! 🌿 We show that Thermal Fertility Limits depend on exposure duration and are more sensitive than survival limits, with implications for distributions and long-term population persistence onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el… Johannes Overgaard

The early version of our paper GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution)! Parthenogenesis inducing Wolbachia are tricky to work w/ but we’re excited to keep working on how bacteria convert
hosts to asexual reproduction.

2+ years since Stine Frey Laursen and myself took three months out of our lives and dedicated them to a house fly population and a very large experiment... So excited to finally see parts of the work published!🪰

Mosquitoes are some of the most effective hunters on the planet, but why do they target some of us more than others?
Science at Melbourne Mozzie expert and claymation artist Dr Perran Stott-Ross (@MosWhisperer) explains it’s mainly because of the way you smell → unimelb.me/3vu9zzV
Meet Australia's most recently named and described longhorn beetle: Excastra albopilosa! I was lucky enough to discover this remarkable species while camping binnaburra in 2021. Have a read of the UQ News article for more detail and a link to the paper. #entomology #newspecies
The first special issue of Evolution Letters is out now!
This collection of articles highlights the diversity of evolutionary responses to climate change and discusses future directions for continued work on this important aspect of evolutionary biology.

New preprint in collaboration with Joshua B Benoit's group, Dr. Chloe Lahondere and BonizzoniLab . We compared the activity and sleep profiles of multiple strains of Aedes albopictus and found some differences influenced by their geographic origin. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
