NEW PAPER: looking into the erosion of southern mountain caribou migrations. Over 35 years, migration distances shrank 15-25%, and elevational migrations are collapsing. Habitat loss, not weather, likely the main culprit. A major conservation challenge ahead. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Who loves isoscapes?? We do! 🎉🗺️ www.facetsjournal.com/doi/10.1139/...

Check out our new paper, "Isotope geolocation and population genomics in Vanessa cardui: Short- and long-distance migrants are genetically undifferentiated," out in PNAS Nexus! doi.org/10.1093/pnas...

😢Individuals can help the monarch butterfly by planting milkweed and flowers, and avoiding pesticide use

The importance of observing any species you’re studying in its natural environment cannot be overstated. So grateful to have spent some time with the Bogong moth (and awesome new friends and colleagues) this month!

A cool opportunity for some citizen science. Monarchs are in decline in Oz and NZ as well as in the US/Mexico and getting involved in tagging programs can provide critical data

New paper out @science.org shows that bats surf warm storm fronts to power continental migrations 🌀⛈️🦇🤙 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... By Edward Hurme; Ivan Lenzi; Martin Wikelski; Timm Wild; and Dina Dechmann

Super stoked to share our latest research on the migratory patterns of painted lady butterflies across the Sahara! 🦋🏜️ www.cell.com/iscience/ful...
