His particular passion is for mayflies and stoneflies and he is co-chair of the IUCN Mayfly, Stonefly and Caddisfly Specialist... Many experts and researchers work on all three or two (mostly ...
Tying Tuesday starts off with a stonefly nymph, then we’ll get an interesting streamer, and finish up with a unique emerger pattern. This emerger, in particular, looks like it’ll be a lot of fun, even ...
New Zealand's native stoneflies have changed color in response to human-driven environmental changes, new research shows. Just published in the journal Science, the University of Otago study ...
We worked on stoneflies and the impact of deforestation. The black stonefly Austroperla lives in forests. It produces cyanide to deter potential predators, and to advertise its toxicity this ...
Tying Tuesday is here, and we’re treated to some fantastic little patterns this week. We start out with a stonefly, get treated to a fun egg pattern, and end with a nice pheasant tail variation.
New research reveals another surprising impact of human activity on the environment: New Zealand’s native stoneflies have changed color due to human-induced changes. The study, recently published in ...
The loss of forest in New Zealand has led some native stoneflies to change color, a new study finds. In forested regions, the Zelandoperla stonefly mimics the dark color of its poisonous cousin ...
Professor Jon Waters, a zoology expert and co-author of the study, explains how deforestation altered the stoneflies' colouring. “In natural, forested regions, one stonefly species has evolved ...

Scientists have identified a striking example of human-driven evolution among stoneflies in New Zealand, showing how deforestation can alter a species' evolutionary path. The Zelandoperla stonefly, ...
While the long-tailed stonefly has no toxins of its own, it has managed to pull off a convincing impersonation of Austroperla using its genetic toolkit, which colored some of the insects a dark shade ...
New Zealand's native stoneflies have changed colour in response to human-driven environmental changes, new research shows. The study provides arguably the world's most clear-cut case of animal ...
