- Reposted by Víctor NogueralesAn eel donated to a natural history museum in 1873 had two ticks embedded in its skin, making it the first known instance of ticks parasitizing a fish. But it was only first documented this year, when a tick specialist identified the ticks and reported the case in the Journal of Medical Entomology.

- Reposted by Víctor NogueralesHybrid speciation in weevils on the Canary Islands. Or is it? What is hybrid speciation anyway? This paper was fun to work on, from start to finish. The novelty is that the parental and hybrid species are cryptic and sympatric. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- Just when you thought Halloween was over - the ghosts of a brief colonisation has been found in the genetic record in weevils on the Canary Islands. Guest blogger Adam Brachtl tells the story of this study, from the @evojlinnsoc.bsky.social Special Issue, 'Evolution on Islands'.

- Reposted by Víctor Noguerales1/2 Unexpected and weird results are frustrating unless you have the opportunity to get to the bottom of them, and we frequently encounter this with island arthropods. Following up on them is time consuming, but often provides quirky insights into community assembly dynamics.
