A #newspecies of Atarphia (#Coleoptera: Nitidulidae: Nitidulinae) from #Laos mapress.com/zt/article/vie… #Taxonomy

Had so much fun working on this one, lots of phenomenal coauthors including @BybeeLab @agduffy4 @LepanusLady @CameronGenomes @nsaxton55, Repeated feeding guild evolution: the impact of competition on diversification academic.oup.com/evolinnean/art…

For those going to ICE #International #Congress of #Entomology @ice2024kyoto_jp this month - I made a pdf of things to do in Kyoto during the conference, including my recommendation of local foods, best insect stores to visit, etc. Please share! tinyurl.com/ycxs7mpz | #ICE2024

Better late than never…A PhD chapter published in Ethology recently! We looked at population and sex-specific responses to chemical alarm cues in my favorite Costa Rican fish. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/et… @byubio @evo_eco_lab

Postdoc position in insect biodiversity at @NCState, awesome project on seasonal activity as it relates to bat diet! jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/199699 @ColeopSoc @EntCollNet @SysEB_Entsoc @CSE_at_FSCA @Hymenopterists

Please reach out with any questions, couldn’t be more excited about this! @Hymenopterists @ColeopSoc @dipterists @TheLepSoc @OdonataAmericas

Big things are happening in the department! Congratulations Michael Reiskind on being named University Faculty Scholar. @NCState @NCStateCALS @NCSU_DEPP

Gearing up for one of our bigger research projects this upcoming spring! Can’t wait to start this one with help from @ameeds11 @InsectEvoLab and a few others🪲🐜#wildlifeforensics

New Ant Lab video today. Filming these rove beetles with projectile mouthparts has been on the to-do list for years! Thanks to @Bertonemyia showing me his Stenus site this summer, I finally got the opportunity! Check it out: youtu.be/RjKhIg3kCpM

Opportunities hopefully coming soon!!! @ColeopSoc @SysEB_Entsoc those interested in systematics, natural history collections, phylogenetics, and much more stayed tuned

I am pleased to announce that, starting in November, I will be the Assistant Professor of Insect Biodiversity and Director of the NC State University Insect Museum at @NCState @NCSU_DEPP. Here is the new lab profile @InsectEvoLab shoutout to @TenderLemonArt for the sweet logo!
