How does one species become two? Yash Sondhi (@Mothyash) and team caught evolution in the act when they observed differences in a gene that regulates circadian rhythms in a group of moths that have become separated in time. ☀️ 🌙

Hi Folks:
One month after hiring me, CDFW decided to cut CA's human-wildlife conflict program for the next fiscal year, to the immense detriment of myself, many staff, & Californians.
By accepting this job, I had declined other offers. I am now seeking alternatives. Thank you💙
Hi friends- I'm excited to let y'all know that I've accepted an offer to become the new Statewide Human-Wildlife Conflict Specialist at @CaliforniaDFW starting in a few months! 🐾👣
Our Kenya work will continue as well! All good things, and I'm so incredibly grateful. 🤗

Our latest paper (publ. by @TropLepATL) reports 10 exciting new additions to the Indian moth fauna. Several detailed descriptions and images of genitalia with habitus images of the previously unreported moths are also provided in the paper. 🦋🔎

Hey twitter fam, as Open access and APC fees rise, does anyone know of publishers / journals for profit or non profit affiliations in ecology and evolution? I've been trying to get more submissions to non profit organisations like Royal Society or PLOS. #OpenAccess #equity
