Beyond blowflies: 🪰🕵️‍♂️ Our study on necrophagous Diptera from 160 forensic cases in Switzerland reveals the role of underutilized fly families like Phoridae. With COI barcoding for degraded samples! shorturl.at/jAgnN #ForensicEntomology #Entomology #ScienceResearch #Diptera

Can necrophagous beetles turn predators? 🪲🍖 Our new study refines methods to explore food ecology in predatory/necrophagous species. #ForensicEntomology" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">shorturl.at/bdsKM#Forensic… #Ecology #FoodWebs #Entomology #ScienceResearch shorturl.at/bdsKM

@karo_mahlerova @Systematic_Ent @JanChRuzicka @karol_krak Congratulations. 👍😁

The final paper of my #PhD is finally out! We provide the first molecular based phylogeny of the subfamily #Silphinae that contains all extant genera of #Silphini 🥳 doi.org/10.1111/syen.1… @Systematic_Ent @jakubecp @JanChRuzicka @karol_krak

Do you know how #fireflies woo their partners? They dine by candlelight but also with a good perfume! With @jakubecp, we have proven that #pheromones still play a key role in the bioluminescent #courtship of a night firefly. doi.org/10.1093/zoolin… #lampyridae #bioluminescence

Good news everyone. No more guessing or rumors about the methods of larval storage. We have hard data on how long term storage affects DNA quality and morphology thanks to @FireflyerMartin , @karo_mahlerova,@SantiagoMonto20 and Jarin Qubaiova academic.oup.com/jme/article/do…

Today I have the honour to present at the press conference for the Night of Scientists 2023 at @vsecz. The topic is relativity of time from the insect perspective. #entomology

@BayouPhilosophy I loved my PhD (in entomology) too. I miss the feeling of having a clear goal with almost certain path to reach it. I don't miss the time pressure, though. Also I have friends in chemistry who were burned out after too many failed experiments/reactions.

Who are you? (Croatia, Pula, body size cca 1.5 cm).

Under stone at the edge of the forest and city.

Could you explain to me, how to tell apart Croatia scorpions (Pula, Istria, 06.06.23)? Is this Eus. italicus?

I wish you were here... and the midges as well.

Today's competition on my field trip is sticky. #entomologist

@monotomidae @EntoTranslator It looks definitely Czech, unfortunately there are a number of villages of that name around here, so hard to tell. However, lucky you. Old-timers often marked just the continent. Also, the date might be February 7, 1906 as the month was/is often written in Roman numerals...

@masonfidino Please spread the knowledge as I hate this error as well. However this mistake is so human as people do not want to write about their failures. Is there a way how to write this without sounding like you did something wrong?

I would once again like to remind everyone here that having a p value > 0.05 does not mean that there is no difference between your treatment and control group. Most papers I review make this mistake.

@masonfidino @renato_nali I think that writing some parts of results in present tense could be a very nice PR. You are sending a message about how confident or convinced you are about the generalizability of your claims.

@renato_nali Totally fine to speak in past tense. That is generally the way I write results anyways. The study has been done, and you are reporting the results of said study.

No mayfly was hurt during writing this tweet.

Pretty depressing spending your entire life in a train... #Entomology #commuting

Super proud of @SantiagoMonto20 who has successfully defended his PhD thesis today. Congratulations 🎉🎉 #Entomology #silphinae @CZUvPraze @fzpczu

@renatrigiorese @AcademicChatter I think you are projecting some characteristics to the term. For me the productivity means producing more stuff with less energy. You can produce more if you spend more time and effort, but that doesn't mean you are productive.

Rest is a core component of productivity.
