Indian Foundation for Butterflies

@Naikasanuchara @molecology @RachASteward @carol_boggs @UofSCBiology @RMBLGothic Congratulations!

These are one-year, pre-doctoral, full-time, on-site mentored fellowships. This is a great opportunity for young students to train under masters in the field.

Biodiversity Fellowships 2024-2025 will nurture young talent in the area of biodiversity sciences, with the aim of preparing Fellows to tackle knowledge gaps in species discovery, building the tree of life, and broad evolutionary, ecological and genetic insights into biodiversity

Happy to announce the Biodiversity Fellowships programme, supported by IFB Trust among other partners: biodiversitylab.org/biodiversity-f…. Applications are open (forms.office.com/r/rLhRT8c4wm). Please spread the word around among young students and researchers.

Karnataka Forest Department is bringing to light the amazing life of frogs by celebrating The Frog Festival on 18th and 19th December. The main aim is to spread awareness about the importance of the frog in maintaining ecological balance. #KarnatakaForestDepartment #KFD

Very exciting butterfly species discovery from NE India, by a native Lepcha!

I'm really excited to see our latest paper out on Nymphalidae evolutionary history! An incredible journey of over 20 years with collaborators, and an incredible job by @ChazotNicolas putting it together! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Become a biodiversity scientist, build and analyse scientific databases, and develop natural history resources and assets for the citizen scientist community. All under a generous fellowship and guidance of top experts! @IFoundButterfly @NCBS_Bangalore

A fascinating discovery: kleptopharmacophagy! Milkweed Butterflies Are More Murderous Than They Look nyti.ms/3DZAzGZ

BOI has achieved another milestone! More than 114000 reference images are available now. Let's keep this momentum going and get more submissions during #BBM! Congratulations to the entire team! #bbm2021 ifoundbutterflies.org @krushnamegh @NCBS_Bangalore @IFoundButterfly

A very good reference for butterfly phylogeneticists and taxonomists!

This will be a great reference for those wishing to teach or learn about mimicry, with lots of examples of mimicry rings from India and other tropical countries.

@BBM_Ind is upon us. Contribute your observations to Butterflies of India, a premier citizen science project ensuring high quality of peer review and long-term data archival: ifoundbutterflies.org/contributing-m…. Be a big contributor to this flagship project! @NCBS_Bangalore @IFoundButterfly

A wonderful natural phenomenon not to be missed!

@indian_hydra @ClusterPune Wonderful!

Hon’ble Forest Minister Shri Arvind Limbavali, who was also present, said the park with medicinal plants & native species will help promote conservation efforts.

It’s a @aranya_kfd initiative, as part of the CMs vision to have 3 such parks in Bengaluru, added PCCF & HoFF Sanjai Mohan. The park is close to the Namma Metro line & ITPL.

Moths of India—our citizen science platform—is celebrating National Moth Week 2021 (mothsofindia.org/national-moth-…). Submit your observations to a peer-reviewed platform, contribute to your naturalist community and favourite organisms, and win prizes! mothsofindia.org/contributing-m…
