Curious about what I've been up to on the Osa Peninsula? Heres a short video about my canopy bee trap design!! My first ever field vid, includes some fun animations and canopy footage #treebees #treesearch Osa Conservation subtitles in English n Español youtu.be/CtL2z-wiMgU



Ever find yourself pondering why ant eyes are so different? If so- you should check out our new paper in Insect Systematics and Diversity 🐜Phil Barden Entomological Society of America Vision-Linked Traits Associated With Antenna Size and Foraging Ecology Across Ants academic.oup.com/isd/article-ab…


Peter Willadsen shared some fascinating methods he’s using to evaluate color patterns in carpenter bees! Fantastic work! #EntSoc21




Check out my and Jane Petzoldt 's article in the newest issue of American Entomologist! We put a great deal of effort into this and hope that it encourages #entomology departments around the country to raise grad student #stipends to a living wage. doi.org/10.1093/ae/tma…

In the Spring 2022 issue of American Entomologist, Michelle Kirchner and Jane Petzoldt take a critical eye to stipends for students in entomology graduate programs in the U.S., finding they typically fall short of a living wage. doi.org/10.1093/ae/tma…

Yo! I just co-authored a top-tier #DayOneProject Urban Policy Memorandum w/ the Associate Director of Science Policy at the FAS is now @scientistsorg. “The 11 million+ Americans that currently live in historically redlined areas deserve attention from policymakers.” dayoneproject.org/ideas/putting-…

Thank you Chris Woolston and nature for bringing attention to this important issue. Jane Petzoldt and I are grateful that we could contribute to this piece. PhD students face cash crisis with wages that don’t cover living costs nature.com/articles/d4158…


I'm so happy for my amazing labmate Liza M. González-Rodríguez she successfully defended her thesis today and is officially a Master of beetles!!!🪲


Awesome ant lab video about my good friend Michelle Kirchner and the amazing work she is doing documenting arboreal ant diversity in North Carolina!!

1/8 Excited for my first ever paper to be published today, and as first author too! 🎉 Using samples collected by citizen scientists, we analysed the population genetic structure of the Common Yellowjacket across the UK. 🧬🐝 Royal Entomological Society Big Wasp Survey resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/im…

Great job #KU students presenting amazing results on the biogeography, diversity and thermal tolerance of #pollinators ! #EntSoc23 Claudia Nuñez-Penichet Andrés Felipe Herrera Motta KU Ecology & Evolutionary Biology KU Biology KU Natural History Museum Research at KU
