I'm excited to share our new study:

Bee monitoring by community scientists: comparing a collections-based program with iNaturalist

Published in Annals of the Entomological Society of America.

And look, my photo of a small carpenter bee on the cover!

@HamiltonBoyce_ I'm sorry, our sensors indicated that you did not have a good time, we will be charging you an additional $240

I know I've been asking a lot, but does anyone who is entering the postdoc stage have a CV they're especially proud of they would be willing to share with me? Trying to spruce mine up!

[🐝🌻Nash Turley🌻🐝 @NashTurley]

@EmbraceTheCoda I'm at a different stage because I've been a postdoc a loooong time, my CV is linked here, maybe seeing format will be helpful? https://t.co/u2Foi6spXt

@RolandKays misses the southern rocky mountains part of range, have you considered using iNaturalist data to help build models? https://t.co/LR64BOJIfK

street lights make tree leaves tougher and decrease herbivory, bad news for bugs!

Want to help make old natural history collection be digitized and publicly available? Check out all of these projects where you can transcribe labels of old museum collections. It's kinda fun to see what the next one will be :)

What’s better for bees? More habitat or less pesticides?

Do collection-based methods produce more reliable data with fewer biases than photography-based approaches? the value of highly trained communty scientists

The power of community science to understand bee biodiversity! Excited to share our new study comparing results from our PA Bee Monitoring Program vs iNaturalist led by @NashTurley @lopezuribelab @PAAgriculture @agsciences

🧵Here are the key findings:

This study would not be possible without all the work from community scientists, both our amazing group of dedicated bee collectors (mostly @agsciences Master Gardeners) and all the people on @inaturalist making observations and identifications.

[🐝🌻Nash Turley🌻🐝 @NashTurley]

we finish the paper by saying "Despite the concerns about lethal sampling of bees for monitoring efforts, our results demonstrate that photo-based monitoring methods cannot replace the unique insight that comes from collections."
