Insects, especially butterflies; conservation, global change, mountains; working at natural sciences museum in Madrid; Ecological Entomology editor; gone birdwatching with my dog.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the SBS seminar from @robwilsonmncn.bsky.social , looking at over 20 years of butterfly data. In Spanish mountain ranges, cold specialised species are going locally extinct and are being replaced by warmer habitat species #UniofAberdeen #Biology #SciArt
Hey! How are you coping with the post-holiday blues? We're ready for anything! 🏁 Take a look at @robwilsonmncn.bsky.social contribution to #Ento25 in Glasgow. It's another chance to show off our progress on the #INCSTEP reference collection! #NameItToSaveIt 🐝🪰🦋
Delighted to join the European butterfly community in NL this week for #FutureofButterflies with @mncn-bgcg.bsky.social well represented by three talks and two posters - @guim091.bsky.social @adsalbert.bsky.social and @jpcancela.bsky.social also sharing our work on #insect responses to global change
INC-STEP Reference Collection@incstep.bsky.social · last yr.Our colleagues from @mncn-csic.bsky.social are in Wageningen (Netherlands) 🇳🇱, presenting the #INCSTEP project to the lepidopterist community! Marina González (poster) and Robert J. Wilson (oral presentation) spreading the word about the importance of NHCs and taxonomy! #NameItToSaveIt 🦋💪

@robwilsonmncn.bsky.social (@mncn-csic.bsky.social @csic.es) explains why #TETTRIsEU Satellite @incstep.bsky.social pushes for a #pollinators 🐝 Reference Collection in Spain 🇪🇸 By the way, we are out with a #policybrief on Reference Collections 👉 tettris.eu/Publications/ shorturl.at/cfrQL
How can the INC-STEP satellite project help us study pollinators?

Entomological collections are sustained by all those involved in their study and management. From #INCSTEP @tettris.eu we want to give them voice 🗣️, so we will publish a series of short interviews to introduce some of these people linked to the project. Today, let's meet Antonio Ricarte! 🪰🌼
A #training course about #bees organised by @incstep.bsky.social 🤩 under the #TETTRIsEU project! 📅 March 📍 Barcelona 🐝 Bees 🇪🇸 Spanish ⌛ Deadline 31.01 Get all the info here 👇 tettris.eu/2024/10/25/i... #Taxonomy

Our OA paper in led by former PhD student James Stewart, with @robwilsonmncn.bsky.social et al shows how varying phenology can influence range shifts via effects on population dynamics and mediated by biotic interactions, #BrownArgus (not Sparrow:-) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
Phenological variation in biotic interactions shapes population dynamics and distribution in a range-shifting insect herbivore | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Phenological responses to climate change vary across trophic levels. However, how trophic phenological synchrony determines species’ distributions through its effects on population dynamics has rarely been addressed. Here, we show that phenological ...
