The (un)happy convergence of a conservation/biodiversity crisis-induced pandemic and climate change-amplified wildfire seasons is that we all have N95s and we know how to use them – if necessary on our morning walking commute to @UNBC.

Massonia - a fascinating and very flat alpine which is pollinated by gerbils when they run over it and get pollen on their tummies. 🥰😃

“One of the most widespread ecological interactions that influences plant fitness is the mutualistic symbiosis between plants and mycorrhizal fungi,” says Dr. Hafiz Maherali.

Advice needed! For Invertebrate Zoology, I'm trying to model graduate-level textbook reading and note-taking with Guided Notes assignments (I provide questions to answer before doing the reading, a skeleton for notes, and ask students to develop test questions).

Platygastroidea are the most speciose and abundant group of Hymenoptera in Malaise traps worldwide, according to this very interesting study. We need more taxonomists! #darktaxa #biodiversity
Who would have thought? The same 20 insect families contribute >50% of species and specimens regardless of continent, climate, or habitat. Too bad, these families are also neglected. Many biologists don´t even know some of them. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🧵Nine years ago, central British Columbia was experiencing a major forest tent caterpillar outbreak. At the time my youngest son was four-years old. He spent a lot of his time outside among the caterpillars. One day @joyelmarie and I found him tossing caterpillars into a puddle.
