Our new Biological Reviews paper is now online. We show that nearly 600 #butterfly species show evidence of #migratory #movements. (1/6) Jason Chapman Migration Dept., Max Planck Inst. Animal Behavior The Genetics of Migration Lab Butterfly Migration Insect Migration doi.org/10.1111/brv.12…

Just got my complimentary copy of this fab looking book - many thanks Martin Warren, looking forward to reading! Rather shocked to find a photo of a very young me in the chapter on butterfly migration! Get a copy & discover the amazing journeys of painted ladies, admirals etc

Nice work 👍 good to see a dragonfly migration study. Johanna.SU.Hedlund EcosystemsInTheSky

Great work on dragonfly migration in Europe

Hot off the presses! Knoblauch et al. 2021 investigate the flight orientation and weather effects of migrant #dragonflies in the #Baltic finding that Aeshna mixta uses favorable tail winds on its path and Sympetrum vulgatum follow the easterly #winds. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Fully-funded 4 year PhD! Join our group at Uni Exeter in Cornwall to work on the genetics of insecticide detoxification in pollinators. Details and application: exeter.ac.uk/studying/fundi… Please RT #hoverflies #pollinators #genomics #sustainableAg #foodsecurity #PhD.

What defences have pollinators evolved to detoxify natural substances and how does this effect their sensitivity to insecticides? Join University of Exeter CEC for a fully-funded 4 year PhD to find out. Details and application: exeter.ac.uk/studying/fundi… Deadline June 14th. Image @Hawkes_Will

Interested in a #biologging Masters project this summer?! New fieldwork and motion-analyses project! We will look through the eyes of #paragliders to investigate how soaring birds use social cues in #flight. If interested get in touch! Matt Wilkes MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour

We have two open PostDoc positions in the institute for anyone interested in #brainevolution of birds and mammals and/or #socioecology of Orangutans.

New #paragliding gaze project underway! First stop Imaging Facility Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social! Incredibly excited to bring a number of movement technologies together to study info-gathering in flight! #biologging #mocap #eyetracking Matt Wilkes Safi_Lab @safilabmpi fumihiro kano

Our paper on the drivers of Painted Lady migration, led by gao & Constanti Stefanescu, is now out in PNAS. We show that sub-Saharan winter rainfall levels is key to the numbers that arrive in Europe each spring Insect Migration Butterfly Migration University of Exeter CEC

"You can even see with the naked eye that they are drawn to the Mediterranean en masse" Myles Menz studies migration, not of birds, but of the numerous insects that pass through the alps to winter in the south. Club Alpin Suisse visits him in the field 🗻sac-cas.ch/de/die-alpen/m…

Twitter hive mind I need your help! I am compiling a list of African #biologging bird scientists - could use any and all suggestions of additional peeps to include! Pls DM me if you can think of some cracking people to include!
