A migratory divide in insects! 🦋 Vanessa cardui butterflies migrate in opposite directions in the Northern and Southern hemispheres 🌍, a pattern driven by a chromosomal inversion 🧬

How did the Quaternary ice ages shape W Palearctic biodiversity? Using 31,000 🧬sequences of ~500 butterfly🦋 species we objectively identified glacial refugia, colonization routes, and dispersal barriers at an unprecedented level! Out in @ScienceAdvances! doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adm85…

New paper! Butterfly communities in Spain & the UK use different mechanisms to alter their body temperature- while Spanish butterflies change their posture relative to the sun, British butterflies rely on microclimates. Great work led by Eric Toro-Delgado doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.14…

After ~7 yr of work, it's finally out! We present a molecular phylogeny of butterflies sampling >90% of genera & >2000 spp. Butterflies emerged ~100 million yr ago in North America and first fed on legumes. Thanks to all 87 co-authors from 28 countries! rdcu.be/dcaVU

Did you know that your hair can pick up metals from the environment? Well, it seems that butterfly wings can too! Check out our new paper to learn more! doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2023.10… Short description of the paper below: 1/13
