Send us your crab spider photos and samples!
Help Rosy collect records of crab spiders on flowers for her PhD research! Flower crab spiders (Misumena vatia) love to live in flower verges, which are great for pollinators, natural pest control and as biodiversity buffer zones. We want to find out how these spiders are contributing to these ecosystem services. Can you help us spy onContinueContinue reading “Send us your crab spider photos and samples!”
Will co-authors new paper on ant thermal limits
Check out the new paper that Will contributed to, published in Journal of Thermal Biology: “Automating thermal limits: continuous, objective, and high-throughput thermal data for small mobile ectotherms” Current methods for measuring the thermal limits of small ectotherms (like insects) focus exclusively on thermal extremes. This paper advances beyond this using locomotor activity monitoring, which generates continuous,ContinueContinue reading “Will co-authors new paper on ant thermal limits”
