It's the right time of year to start seeing Round-lobed Hepatica! Native to Eastern North America, this forest understorey species can have flowers that vary from pink, to blue, to white 😍

Climate change means we may have to learn to live with invasive species

Invasive species are not always harmful; some can even provide key benefits to native habitats in an era of climate change. Canadian conservation efforts should embrace the movement of species.

At #ESA2024 and interested in learning about the composition of urban plant communities (and the role that traits play)? Come see my talk tomorrow at 10 am in COS059! 🌿🌳

In a world-first, an international team of scientists demonstrated that Painted Lady butterflies (Vanessa cardui) flew at least 4,200 km over the ocean from West Africa to French Guiana, South America.

Butterflies are present in cities! But the communities are species-poor, homogenized, and contain more non-native butterflies than surrounding rural areas. 🏙️🦋 2/3

Flight period length may help to explain some of this variation! Butterflies with longer flight periods were more common in urban areas... like this painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui)! 3/3 All images: S. Rivest
