El efecto🦋: una excesiva vegetación en Arabia produjo las migraciones masivas de mariposas en Europa y África en 2019 Lo revela un estudio del Institut Botànic de Barcelona que ha analizado el ADN del polen que transporta la mariposa cardera (Vanessa cardui) delegacion.catalunya.csic.es/el-efecto-mari…

Excessive vegetation in #Arabia triggered massive butterfly migrations across Europe and Africa in 2019 🦋🌿🌍 It has been revealed by the DNA of pollen #VanessaCardui butterflies were carrying, in a study led by IBB researcher Gerard Talavera sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Swarms of painted ladies that descended on the Middle East, northern Africa and Europe have been traced to their source go.nature.com/3XeiscG

🚨 In 2013 researcher Gerard Talavera spotted a group of #PaintedLady butterflies in the beaches of #FrenchGuiana But this species does not occur in South America, how did they get there? Well, a new discovery shows that the butterflies flew across the Atlantic Ocean! 🌊 🧵⬇️

Pour la première fois, une équipe scientifique internationale a prouvé que des Belles-Dames (Vanessa cardui) ont atteint la Guyane française, en Amérique du Sud, à partir de l’Afrique occidentale, parcourant au moins 4 200 km.
