Our experience in @biogeneurope.bsky.social suggests that we need to go beyond "project-level thinking" for biodiversity genomics in Europe, and that is exactly what we have started to do today at @naturalis.bsky.social! @horizoneu.bsky.social @ergabiodiv.bsky.social @iboleurope.bsky.social

The latest European Grassland Butterfly Indicator is out. It shows that grassland butterflies have declined by 47% since 1991, indicating a huge loss of grassland biodiversity. The data come from 16,150 transects & 15,000 volunteers. We are calling for urgent action. www.bc-europe.eu/documents/69...

Great to see our current #ERGA Chair @rmwaterhouse.bsky.social featured in this @ebpgenome.bsky.social spotlight!
