We’re aiming to secure a future where our #nativeplant #diversity is valued, understood, and conserved for all 🌱 One of the ways we’re achieving that is by growing our collection, research and restoration contributions. More in our Strategic Plan 👉🏼https://t.co/ejTom32bsI

To all #InsectMonitoring scientists, I need your help! We are starting a small pilot study soon but are still unsure which solution to use in our pitfall traps. Ethylene glycol (EG), ethanol+EG, copper sulphate - what's best for DNA barcoding but has a low attractiveness to 🪲🪳?

I have no words.

The world's oceans are 0.4°F warmer right now than any other year on this date on record.

A single year... sitting 0.4°F above the previous daily record.

How do we even tell the public this?

Generating data through public engagement has been great for #SciComm. @flygirlNHM exudes about the popularity of Diptera recording schemes & encourages everyone to take part. Now is a great time to get yourself involved in #BeeFlyWatch

Eye of a hornet, Vespa crabro. Here you can see a first result of the insects sputtered with gold by „eye of science“ The section of the compound eye is surprisingly sharp even with a magnification of 5:1. For a simple explanation: Sputtering describes a physical process in which atoms are released from a solid target (here gold) and transferred to an object (here the hornet). In this case it was used to take pictures of the hornet with a scanning electron microscope. I always wanted to photograph these gold blanks with "real light". Et voilà 😇

Do you want to model a species' distribution but do not know what R package to use? In our last contribution, we present a curated list of R packages for ecological niche models and briefly describe what each package does.

Did you know... that #Rstats #phytools can be used to project a phylogeny on a map in which species distributions are shown as convex hulls?

I breed a lot of isopods in deli cups. that might seem small, but can hold ~5-10 adults depending on species, perfect for the small populations in the early stages of breeding mutant morphs.
a short guide to how I make cups:
1. compact some soil until firm
