Thank you! 😊 Haha, I love that it brought back proofreading memories! I’m so grateful for your help back then. Hope you enjoy the re-read!

Not many of our co-authors are on BlueSky yet, and I just realized I missed tagging @aksulehikoinen.bsky.social, one of the key collaborators managing Finland's bird monitoring scheme at @nathist.bsky.social, and @sykefi.bsky.social which manages the national moth monitoring scheme! πŸ™πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

✨ Our approach integrates functional traits and long-term data (26 years!) to show how trophic interactions are shaped by seasonal timing, species traits, and regional diversity. A small step forward in understanding ecosystems amid global insect declines! πŸŒπŸ“‰ (5/6) #LongTermStudies

(2) Moth abundance has a stronger bottom-up effect on insectivorous birds at high than at low latitudes, i.e., north-boreal zone πŸ§­β¬†οΈπŸ“, where breeding seasons are shorter and food webs simpler. β„οΈπŸŒ³πŸ•ΈοΈ (3) Functional traits = πŸ”‘! (4/6) #FunctionalTraits #HighLatitudes

🧩 Key findings: (1) Moths overwintering as eggs or adults appear to have important roles in providing breeding season food for resident and long-distance migrating forest birds. πŸ› ➑️ 🏑🐦/ ✈️🐦🌍 (3/6) #ResearchHighlights #ScienceCommunication
