Getting understudied taxonomic groups the conservation attention they need can be difficult. Luckily, our new paper shows that community occupancy modelling can reconstruct distribution trends for these species, and help with species-at-risk listing decisions www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I've just had a jaw-to-the-floor moment with this new paper from the Hines lab. They describe a yellow-white switch in bees, which maps to the same TF as the yellow-white switch in Colias butterflies, previously described by the @chriswheat.bsky.social lab. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...
These results are so cool!! It was a pleasure to chat with @hybridzones.bsky.social at GRC speciation last year, and extra exciting to now get to read the paper! Congratulations on a fantastic discovery.

Nature research paper: Limited thermal tolerance in tropical insects and its genomic signature go.nature.com/4ua5R82
Limited thermal tolerance in tropical insects and its genomic signature - Nature
A survey of tropical insect populations and thermal tolerance limits indicates that species from lowland areas have low capacity to survive increased temperatures, and that thermal tolerance is limited by fundamental properties of protein architecture.
