New open-access research! Nematodes are super cool, and we prove it on an isolated desert island. We found near perfect turnover in trophic group along a vegetation/elevation gradient. We also warn that root-parasitic nematodes seem to spread with non-native vegetation. dx.doi.org/10.1007/s105...

ATBC 2025 in Oaxaca, Mexico - is anybody aiming to attend and present on #climatechange impacts (or lack of) on #insect #ecology or #biodiversity? We at the Uni of Hong Kong (‪@louiseaashton) are gauging interest outside of our usual circle to see if it's worth proposing a symposium. Pls share!

A highlight of living in Hong Kong is having these Critically Endangered Yellow-Crested Cockatoos diligently tearing bits off the outside of your apartment, I guess

Greetings from Hong Kong! Looking forward to chatting #entomology, #ecology and #conservation with you all. Here's a new species to science to say hello: a desert-island woodlouse known from inside turtle nests..! From recent work on remote Ascension Island 🏝️
