My museum @NaturalSciences has a REALY great new special/traveling exhibit about spiders that opened this past weekend.
It's curated by spider expert Dr. Linda Rayor. 100% worth your time and the admission (or membership).

This paper has been downloaded ~85,000 times since 2020.
Today, I was honored to look back on it and have an opportunity to tell the full story behind its inception to a packed audience at the @aslo_org annual meeting.
The paper is #OpenAccess here: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley…

Evidence from psychology shows that @RegReports have a lower positive result rate than the standard literature & likely reduce #publicationbias & QRPs

Time for eco & evo to support @RegReports!
ALT The figure corresponds to a barplot showing that positive result rates for first hypotheses form standard reports are much higher and around 96% than those corresponding to Registered Reports, which are around 44%.

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

Another example why flies are ridiculous!
Stalk eyes evolved so many times independently in flies and these are just a few examples. From top to bottom: stalk-eyed fly (Teleopsis), hammerhead fly (Plagiocephalus), and Anaeropsis guttipennis

It’s a fly-eat-fly world! Ochthera, a predatory shore fly genus, is basically a praying mantis in a fly package, definitely one of the coolest flies (and there’re so many more cool flies!)🪰🪰🪰
