Tapinoma magnum invading Switzerland! Check out the paper by Jérôme Gippet, Lorena George and me about "Local coexistence of native and invasive ant species is associated with micro-spatial shifts in foraging activity" trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/44…

🎉🎉Really thrilled to share our new paper (again!) on the effects of colonialism and global economics on paleontological research! We showed that most fossil data is generated by researchers in richer countries that have a colonising history (1/n) Graphical abstract by Dr Emma Dunne

where have these been in every modeling paper I've ever read!?

New paper on Lepidoptera invasions: Moths and butterflies on alien shores - Global biogeography of non-native Lepidoptera. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Published today with a team of international colleagues in Journal of Biogeography!

The adage “A picture is worth a thousand words” is often used. When it comes to #glacier changes, it could not be more true. Judge it yourself! This repeat-photo is from #Gornergletscher near #Zermatt. More words needed?

Couldn't present this myself at #IUSSI2022 in San Diego (#becauseijusthadababy🙃). Using #ants to show that invasiveness is linked to greater commercial success in the global pet trade (paper published last year in #PNAS, pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… ) 🐜👽
