I was invited to give a talk at the 18th Blodbadet, which is an annual meeting of the Zoology department at Stockholm University.
The meeting took place at the Tovetorp research station, and included five
invited speakers: Kerstin Johannesson (Gothenburg University), Alex
Weiss (University of Edinburgh), Christopher Wheat (University of Helsinki) and
John Bishop (Washington State University Vancouver) and myself (Lund
University). PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from Stockholm and other
Universities were also presenting their research, which made the 2.5 days of
talks refreshingly diverse. The topics ranged from animal personalities, to parallel
speciation, and the significance of eye spots as anti-predator behaviour and of
course, a variety of talk on the evolution and ecology of damselflies and
butterflies. I truly enjoyed the talks and meeting this diverse range of
people, and left the meeting with lots of new ideas.

Great to see such a nice mix of old and new faces in Stockholm. Looking forward to hear a more detailed report on Wednesday.
