I've been putting off migrating this big thread from X for a while, but now I've got to do it! It combines two hot topics: #videogames 🎮 and #entomology 🦋... Would you like me to give you a scientifically based curiosity about each butterfly #Lepidoptera species in Animal Crossing? New Horizons 🌊🍃?

Pandemics, global change, and biodiversity loss? In a new paper published in the first issue of @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social, we argue that these are three facets of an ongoing polycrisis, with common roots, and hopefully common solution. A short thread. 🧪😷 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Detailed article about PRI and the Museum of the Earth's current struggles. If the museum closes it may be the largest collection dispersed/lost in the US (with 7 million specimens it is one of the 10 largest in the US). ⚒️🧪🦑 Please share widely and help if you can! ithacavoice.org/2025/01/muse...

Natural History museums house evidence of biotic interactions, hidden from plain view! Like this failed predation event between a fire #ant and a giant #hawkmoth! What a way to start the year, with a short comm published in @biodatajournal.bsky.social! doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.... #Entomology 🧪 🌎 🌐
