The research director of a mosquito control district reports on discoveries made over years of examining bycatch in surveillance traps—and makes the case for bycatch as a resource with the potential to aid in invertebrate conservation efforts. https://t.co/Wsrw1onbWc

Based in the UK and interested in trees? As part of #IYPH2020 @conkerscience is running a new #CitizenScience project examining whether pest controlling insects are having an impact on the highly inverse horse-chestnut leaf miner moth. Go to https://t.co/zINDGNfiQl to sign up

[Dimitris Petsopoulos @DimiPets]

@Kitson_James @Fred_Windsor I think that's the point, then we eat the crayfish

[Dimitris Petsopoulos @DimiPets]

@Kitson_James @Fred_Windsor Well, we will have to wait for a few more months and get some blue crayfish instead.

Complex long-term biodiversity change among invertebrates, bryophytes and lichens https://t.co/3beo1WFrGN

Analysis of occupancy changes in >5000 UK species over 45 years shows substantial turnover in community composition, but declines evident only among non-insect invertebrates

My supervisor has just put out an interesting piece in @ConversationUK on #bushfiresAustralia, how do we consider the interconnectedness of living things when looking at the impact of such a tragic event.

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

Evolution of language.

It’s curious how names of Greek philosophic schools have survived in our modern language(s) with meanings that seem to have no connection with the originals.

Sophistry. Sceptical. Cynical. Epicurean. Stoical.

Probably more examples?
