First global analysis of its kind, led by UKCEH, has shown the impacts of invasive alien species on insects. The study found the non-native animals & plants on average reduce abundance of terrestrial insects by 31% and species richness by 21%. www.ceh.ac.uk/press/insect... 🧪 1/ #biodiversity

Can you identify UK bumblebees and/or butterflies to a species level in the field? Or do you have strong botanical survey skills (equivalent to FISC Level 4 or higher) with the ability to recognise broad and priority habitats? See great opportunity below & please share!

We've been engaging farmers with moth monitoring from the Chilterns to Pembrokeshire. Using portable bucket traps and an AI based app - farmers love uncovering hidden biodiversity! Read my blog here: www.ceh.ac.uk/news-and-med... @ukceh.bsky.social @mjopocock.bsky.social #mothsmatter #TeamMoth
