Fab day showing Louise Ashton the Evolutionsmuseet #entomology collections at @UU_University Uppsala universitet - lots of beautiful Lepidoptera, including some Linnésamlingen. Thanks for visiting! #Evolutionsmuseet #entomology #Linnaeus #NaturalHistory #Biodiversity

Tropical cities as windows into the ecosystems of our present and future - new review in Biotropica - a fun and insightful (for me at least) cross lab collab Louise Ashton Dr Caroline Dingle onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bt…

Hong Kong is surrounded by the South China Sea and HKU’s Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) is dedicated to the study of the ocean. Diving is a key work skill for many of the SWIMS staff and students and it takes them to incredible locations, such as Sipadan in Malaysia.

Our lab had an excellent time at the International Congress of Entomology in Kyoto. We learnt a lot, met lots of interesting people and ate great food! #ice2024 #ice2024kyoto

Dr Michael Boyle, Dr Adam Sharp, Louise Ashton Timothy Bonebrake HKU School of Biological Sciences show reduced abundance of undescribed beetle species in logged Borneo rainforests. Unknown tropical insect biodiversity appears less resilient to human-induced environmental change. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jdIk3QW8S6F…

Very happy to share that my first PhD chapter has just been published in Ecology and Evolution Wiley shorturl.at/p7L4P In this study we investigated patterns of plant beta diversity during secondary succession in Lowland and Montane subtropical forests in Hong Kong 🌳🌿🍃

Exciting postdoc opportunity to work in the Tom Rhys Bishop lab on ants, microclimate and mountains! krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search…. Deadline 27th October.

Light pollution is creating novel photoperiods for organisms to navigate, with consequences for circadian timing. But will these impacts be distributed evenly across the globe? 🧐 Our preprint describes a new biogeographic theory ~! doi.org/10.22541/au.17…

#EarlyView👀 80% of insect species are yet to be discovered and named; most are smaller, less abundant, found at fewer locations and often in taxonomically complex groups, than named species #OpenAccess #OriginalArticle⬇️ doi.org/10.1111/icad.1… @Royentsoc Wiley Ecology & Evolution
