Really nice paper from @tiff-ki.bsky.social & co. shows no overall decline in butterfly species richness in Sulawesi over 166 yrs, but changing communities with endemics & forest specialists declining. Short-term trends unreliable measures of long term. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... 🌏
Really glad to see this exciting and fun work from my PhD out - huge thanks to @janehillyork.bsky.social @cmbeale.bsky.social and Dr Blanca Huertas! Next summer, going to go to Sulawesi to link two of these regions with present day surveys! 🦋

📢🦋Paper: butterfly trends over the past 166 years
Rather than systematic declines, @tiff-ki.bsky.social & others found evidence of reshuffling in butterfly community composition; some species becoming more common, others staying stable & some declining.

The successful defence of a thesis is always great: Congrats @tiff-ki.bsky.social! She's now here on bluesky so follow her for more insect science in museums!
[Have to admit I first read this as listing me as a coconspirator. This probably isn't far wrong: supervising Tiff was fun!]
