Don’t forget that the on-demand online component of the 2022 ESA, ESC, and ESBC Joint Annual Meeting is ongoing! There are so many great talks to choose from, but I wanted to highlight a few from our symposium “Leveraging Isotopic Tools to Understand Insect Ecology” that I think are especially worth attending: #EntSoc2022
"Stable isotopes of carbon and hydrogen in amber fossils shed light on insect ecology and habitats in deep time" This talk is given by Dr. Ryan McKellar, a leading expert on the use of amber to understand palaeoecology. Don't miss this chance to learn about the latest research and how isotopes in amber can help us understand ancient insect biogeography and extinctions!
"A butterfly wing δ²H isoscape for the Afro-Palearctic range" This talk, given by MSc student Sana Ghouri, will explore how hydrogen isotopes can be used to track migratory insects. Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about how geolocation with hydrogen isotopes works.
"Lack of population structure between trans-Saharan migrants for the butterfly Vanessa cardui revealed by hydrogen and strontium isotope-based geographic assignment and genomics" This talk, given by myself, @meganreich will explore how isotope geolocation can be used to inform population genomics. This talk showcases strontium isotope-based geographic assignment and demonstrates how isotopes were used to show that a butterfly migrated 5500 km from northern Europe to Senegal.
