I had a really wonderful afternoon chatting with Michael Braby about butterflies and admiring the incredible collection here at the Australian National Insect Collection in Canberra. Thanks @ento_ethan for showing me around! The Delias collection is spectacular!
Last day of #Biosystematics2023. @2fangs8legs presenting his incredibly detailed work on Australian wish bone spiders. Huge huge huge body of work. Amazing effort!
Such an amazing crowd of young systematists/taxonomists at @Biosystematics2023!
Hanging out with some bright young entomologists at #Biodystematics2023. Love when worlds collide!
Parallel sessions this afternoon after tea break: Taxonomy Australia: Meeting the Challenge of the Decadal Plan Plants #Biosystematics2023
Parallel sessions this afternoon before tea break: Biogeography Communication, Outreach, and Conservation Species Delimitation #Biosystematics2023
Here we go. Second conference in two weeks. I was in Auckland just three days ago for #IPFC11, and I’m now in Canberra for #Biosystematics! @ElenaKupriyano5 talking about the taxonomy of the very understudied and yet hyper diverse polychaete worms.
Nomenclature Workshop with Dr Mark Harvey, former Commissioner of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature @wamuseum! Where else would you want to be on a beautiful Canberra day @ANBG? #Biosystematics2023
The organising committee is very excited to soon welcome you to Canberra ACT, the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people. Registrations open @Kambri_ANU from 3:00 PM and to start the conversation, the Mixer at 5:00 PM proudly brought to you by @BushBlitz2.
Flying in to Canberra for my first in-person conference in years 😮. It's @biosyst2023. I'm excited for loads of talks about all things taxonomy and systematics! 😍🦎🦘🌳🕷
Me vs Buffel Grass on Yahoo News. “A death trap for biodiversity” 🔥 Thanks for putting the piece together @mb_dahlstrom au.news.yahoo.com/horrific-find-…
We just deposited a preprint of one of my dearest and longest projects, the phylogeny and biogeography of Micrathena spiny orb-weavers. I am truly happy! Thanks to all my co-authors and photographers listed in the file Link to the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A confession about our paper on species concepts (w/@JeannettWhitton). BullSocSysBio requires figure parts to be marked a), b), etc., but I detest unbalanced parens, so I placed the letters on a disk whose shadowed edge could be interpreted as a parenthesis — but isn't 😜.

One of the most fantastic and colorful harvestmen in the world. Male and female of Sadocus cf. polyacanthus (Gervais, 1847) from National Park Nahuel Huapi in Northern Argentinean Patagonia. Those speciemens were collected around Espejo Lake's boundaries in a very cold day!!

Looking back at 2023 and wow what a year. I’ve really enjoyed fellowship at the Australian Museum, working alongside leaders in the field and growing my own roots as an independent researcher post-PhD.
Jalmenus evagoras, the Common Imperial Blue. These beauties are erupting all over Australia at the moment. Look for Acacia trees that are infested with ants - these are tell tale signs that the caterpillars and pupae are present. So nice to see these in suburban Sydney.
Almost 200 in-person attendees! #Biosystematics2023
Australia’s taxonomists are gathered in Canberra with one central concern: their ambitious goal to name all undescribed species in Australia within a generation may remain out of reach without more government & philanthropic support. #taxonomy Read more: science.org.au/news-and-event…
I had a really wonderful afternoon chatting with Michael Braby about butterflies and admiring the incredible collection here at the Australian National Insect Collection in Canberra. Thanks @ento_ethan for showing me around! The Delias collection is spectacular!
