Wonderful time now, almost no people, lively nature, long daylight! Sorapis and Antelao this morning. #hiking #nature

Look. At. This. (!). A fungus spore landed on this weevil. Grew inside and caused it to climb to the top of this plant- while the fungus killed it. Consumed its body. Used that energy to shoot up a red fruiting body to release more spores. To zombify more weevils. A mind controlling killer fungus.

The garden I inherited from my mum is now more alive than ever! 🦋 By letting it grow a little wild, it’s easing into #permaculture—bugs, birds and fresh blooms are loving it. Thanks, Mum, for the beautiful foundation; nature knows how to flourish on its own. 💚 #wildgarden #biodiversity

A lawn with zero lawn-mower noise? 🍃 At Prague’s Krč Hospital, a flock of mouflon sheep keeps the grass in check. No engines, just the soft jingle of bells. So if you wake up from anesthesia to bleats and tinkling, don’t panic: you’re not in heaven, just the hospital takes #biodiversity seriously. 🐏

The head of our Průhonice Botanical Garden and president of the Union of Botanical Gardens Pavel Sekerka explains why taxonomy is important for botanical gardens. @tettris.eu #nameittosaveit

The glorious Liothula omnivora (also known as the common bag moth), first scientifically described by New Zealand lawyer, entomologist, artist and taxonomist Richard William Fereday in 1878. #NameItToSaveIt #TaxonomyRecognitionDay

It’s Taxonomy Recognition Day! Joining #NameItToSaveIt with a twist: celebrating taxonomists and calling for better funding to keep #taxonomy alive 🔬🦋 Here's some pics of @entomoprofessor.bsky.social in action! She's the coolest and such an inspiration

Naming is just the start — taxonomy is the foundation of biodiversity and conservation research. On #TaxonomyRecognitionDay, let’s #NameItToSaveIt *and fund it* to sustain it! Here you have some pics of @erebiologa.bsky.social in action!

Gagea bohemica subsp. bohemica (křivatec český pravý) botany.cz/cs/gagea-boh... One of the endangered species in Czechia. This specimen grows in Větrušické rokle reserve 💚 And what do you want to name to save it? :) #nameittosaveit @tettris.eu

In biological research, taxonomy is absolutely crucial. But it's becoming more and more overlooked. Let's remind ourselves that knowing the species around us is the basis of understanding the nature. Taxonomy matters! 💚 #nameittosaveit

Almost the weekend! Georges the caecilian (Herpele squalostoma) is clearly feeling it too! 🪱 #NameItToSaveIt #Caecilian #Amphibians @smnstuttgart.bsky.social

Today is Taxonomy Recognition Day! This small, elegant moth is Tinagma perdicella Zeller, 1839, a species listed as Near Threatened in Finland. Suitable habitats are diminishing due to the overgrowth of meadows and other open areas, as well as a reduction in burnt forest habitats. #NameItToSaveIt

It's Taxonomy Recognition Day! 🧡💙💚 Our partners are organising events all around Europe: 🇧🇪🇩🇪🇩🇰🇪🇸🇫🇮🇫🇷🇬🇷🇮🇹🇳🇱🇳🇴🇦🇹🇵🇹🇨🇿🇸🇪... You can still help raise awareness about the importance of Taxonomy for Biodiversity and Natural Sciences by participating in the #NameItToSaveIt campaign! 👇 #tettriseu #taxonomy #biodiversity

Despite the sudden drop to 10°C and steady rain, the Open Day at the Botanical Garden @ibotcz.bsky.social went ahead. Visitors joined guided walks through our unique iris collections. Our precious gene pool conservation efforts. We care for them because they matter. #NameItToSaveIt @tettris.eu

V Biosmršti se bude sledovat starček úzkolistý, který se aktuálně šíří hlavně u železničních a silničních koridorů. Teď kvete ojediněle, určovat lze podle jednoduchých, čárkovitých listů, u vrcholu oddáleně zubatých, zakončených ostrou špičkou. Pokvete ale druhý mapovaný, starček jarní. 📸 P. Pyšek

“We have some of the best taxonomists in the world – but no funding.” A reality in Czechia – and elsewhere. Taxonomy needs not just passion, but support. #NameItToSaveIt @tettris.eu

BIOSMRŠŤ 2025 ZAČÍNÁ V PÁTEK! Spojte síly s vědci při mapování nepůvodních druhů v ČR. Stačí vyrazit do přírody od pátku do neděle 25. 5. a svá pozorování zadat do @inaturalist.bsky.social. Pomozte zachytit šíření nepůvodních druhů. ww.biosmrst.cz. 📸 Pavlína Marek

This is where taxonomy meets art. Today at @ibotcz.bsky.social , we celebrate 140 years of our treasure – the UNESCO-listed Průhonice Park and Castle – during an international conference. It is the broad dendrological knowledge of our experts that sustains its beauty. @tettris.eu #NameItToSaveIt

#NameItToSaveIt Taxonomy forms the foundation of all biology. @tettris.eu

There’s been much talk of the brain drain away from the US in response to the sweeping cuts in funding & research positions. Here’s our summary to the initiatives designed to provide ‘a home’ to those who consider leaving @nature.com #AcademicSky 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🌿 Are you working in integrative taxonomy – across systematics, ecology, evolution, data and technology and beyond? The ERC Scientific Council is renewing. This is a chance to shape European research strategy. 🗓️ Deadline: 23 June 2025 More info in replies ⬇️ #ERC #ScientificCouncil #TaxonomyMatters

🐜 How do ants navigate 100+ metres of forest with tiny, low-res eyes, and never get lost? Antoine Wystrach @cbitoulouse.bsky.social dives into the genius of these insect navigators who mange to find their way without GPS or trails, just memory and vision. More 👉 bit.ly/42AjG3S #FrontierResearch

This is a wonderful city park where around the millennium they recognised a few pockets of orchids & other wildflowers, & ever since have managed the grass as meadow-land, with mowing only once a year, late summer - so the orchids have gone mad! It's a success story.

We are at English Bluebell peak in our woodland, so everyday we are going to share pictures of our most magnificent plants 🫠 #4

An extremely attractive form of White Ramping-fumitory seen at Lydd last weekend. This seems to fit Fumaria capreolata subsp. capriolata forma speciosa. The corolla turns bright crimson after fertilisation - known from the Channel Islands and Mediterranean. @bsbibotany.bsky.social #wildflowerhour

🇨🇿 Lomikámen zrnatý (Saxifraga granulata) – běžný, tichý druh u nás na louce v CHKO Blanský les stále kvete. Vstavač kukačka už tu není. 🇬🇧 Saxifraga granulata – common, quiet, still blooming behind our cottage (Blanský les PLA). The green-winged orchid is gone. #NameItToSaveIt @tettris.eu

Some nice Sunday evening Kenfig time ! Spot the #speedwell for #wildflowerhour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

I know you all know this, but apparently it needs to be said that basic science is a NECESSARY PRECURSOR to translational science

🇨🇿 Chráníme je jako národní poklad. Dřevité pivoňky v @ibotcz.bsky.social jsou součástí Národního programu genetických zdrojů. 🇬🇧 Some flowers are national treasures. Tree peonies at @ibotcz.bsky.social z.bsky.social are part of the CZ National genetic resources programme. #NameItToSaveIt @tettris.eu

🇨🇿 Dnešní Provázení po pivoňkách v Botanické zahradě bereme jako malou generálku na #TaxonomyRecognitionDay!🌸 🇬🇧 Today’s Peony Walk in the Botanical garden felt like a warm-up for #TaxonomyRecognitionDay! 🌸 #NameItToSaveIt with @ibotcz.bsky.social and @tettris.eu

🇨🇿 Zpátky na Bsky po delší pauze (rodinné důvody). Ale #TaxonomyRecognitionDay se blíží – a já u toho prostě nemůžu chybět. 🇬🇧 Back on Bsky after a break (family reasons). But #TaxonomyRecognitionDay is near – and I simply can’t miss it. 🌿 Botanika coming up! #TETTRIsEU @tettris.eu

There exists a gender gap in research. In TETTRIs, we aim to address this gap within the field of taxonomy. Our Ethics and Gender lead, Carole Paleco explains what can be done to address gender diversity. #InternationalWomensDay2025. #IWD2025. #ChooseToChallenge. #WomensRights. #GenderEquality.

Agnes Arber was a British plant morphologist and one of the first women botanists recognized by the Royal Society. She significantly contributed to the study of monocot plants and comparative plant anatomy. Her work helped shape modern botanical taxonomy and plant developmental biology. #TETTRIsEU

⚠️ A new study shows that between 19% and 36% of the EU’s economy depends on ecosystem services. Protecting pollinators is not only vital for the environment, but for the economy too. Read more about the study here: publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/h...
