Brilliant work by a fantastic team, beautifully summarised by lead author Ellie Bladon. All about how social interactions break down when social behaviour is no longer expressed...

A wonderfully busy day volunteering at Royal Entomological Society’s stunning #RESGarden at #RHSChelsea, chatting to gardeners about how we can make outdoor spaces a haven for insects. You can now show the garden some love by voting for it in the People’s Choice Award: bbc.co.uk/programmes/art…

New paper alert! Tropical butterflies are not necessarily inherently more vulnerable to climate change, in fact their morphology may help them cope with rising temperatures 🦋☀️🦋 doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16…

Do social behaviors irretrievably decay when they aren’t expressed for many generations? doi.org/10.1093/evlett… Read more in a recent article in Evolution Letters by @eleanor_bladon, Sonia Pascoal, Nancy Bird, Rahia Mashoodh, and Rebecca Kilner 🪲 📷: Jack M Smith

Great Burying beetle identification course today, run by The Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs & Northants and expertly lead by Ellie Bladon, what a fascinating group of beetles and thankfully not too difficult to identify. Excellent day. Brian Eversham

Applications to attend the 2024 Cambridge Student Conference on Conservation Science are now OPEN and close on 6 September sccs-cam.org

Excited to see this out! Rebecca Kilner and I asked a simple question: does parental care shape genetic variation? short answer: yes Social behaviours have been long thought to drive the accumulation of genetic variation and we wanted to wanted to test this explicitly a 🧵:

So pleased to see the product of my last postdoc out in the world! If you want to know what the evidence is for 152 actions to conserve butterflies and moths, this is the place to go.

🚨Two opportunities to come work with us on evolution and behaviour in the @buryingbeetle lab at Dept of Zoology. Exciting questions, a fascinating study system, and a friendly group and department: nercdtp.esc.cam.ac.uk/projects/bc526… nercdtp.esc.cam.ac.uk/projects/bc527… 📷: @tomhouslay

We are seeking a new Director to lead our museum - one of the most exciting #MuseumJobs possible.

Excited to share our new paper out in Nature Communications! We used experimental evolution to understand how gene body methylation might evolve and participate in adaptive evolution. Great team effort with @PSarkies, Jennifer Westoby & Rebecca Kilner! a 🧵: rdcu.be/dPY94
