Great to be at #BioMonWeek2026 to represent @biodiversa.eu and the pilot programs, @mambo-project.eu, @onestop-project.eu and beyond, to meet new and old friends and to forge new collaborations. Very exciting indeed!

Sensors and AI can transform understanding of insect biodiversity 🪰📈 BUT we must be wary of the AI hype-train 🚆 and respect existing data and traditional monitoring 🙇 Our new synthetic review lays out seven steps to realise the potential of insect sensing systems 🎥🔭 ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Nice to see our work described in this News Feature @nature.com😊 I certainly value my field biology background as someone working a lot with AI these days. In fact, my motivation for AI solution is largely driven by a curiosity to better understand ecological dynamics at my favorite field sites.

📢Please share📢 We have an opening for an exciting fully-funded PhD project on computer vision and machine learning applied to biodiversity monitoring with amazing Serge Belongie @belongielab.org and @aicentre.dk. Application deadline coming up on 15 January! phd.tech.au.dk/for-applican...

Thanks to superb leadership by @atengstedt.bsky.social and based on our samples of the endangered butterfly🦋(E. aurinia), we show how genetic rescue may be more conservation relevant and less risky than previously thought

🌍🪲 Biodiversity faces major challenges! At #ECE2026Tours, the BIODIVERSITY thematic session will explore insect decline & conservation, species distribution, and new insect monitoring approaches with keynote @roelvanklink.bsky.social and @tokehoye.bsky.social More info ➡️https://www.ece2026.org/

@insectai.bsky.social join us in April! Scan and propose a session! Send an abstract! Only a few days left! @cholvimaria.bsky.social @tokehoye.bsky.social @ukladybirds.bsky.social

As #climatechange becomes more extreme, organisms may no longer keep track in their phenology or seasonal activity e.g flowering, swarming or egg laying. @soerinegerlich.bsky.social led our study showing this is real for highly sensitive #arctic #arthropods royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

We need to better understand #phenological responses to #climatic variation at 1) the species level, 2) for understudied taxa and 3) in regions of rapid climate change. Today, we published work meeting all three criteria - enjoy: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... @au.dk

I am excited to share that the first chapter of my PhD thesis has been published! The paper is titled “Harmonising digitised herbarium data to enhance biodiversity knowledge: Major steps towards an updated checklist for the flora of Greenland”. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Great to speak about our new @nature.com paper on Arctic vegetation dynamics and climate change on Live TV this morning play.tv2.dk/serie/go-mor...

At #AlternetConference2025, @tokehoye.bsky.social (@au.dk) presented on automated species monitoring 🔍 Drawing from large-scale monitoring programmes and projects such as @mambo-project.eu, @biodiversa.eu and #OneSTOP 📊 💡 Find out more: onestop-project.eu/news/automat... #Bioinvasions #IAS

Excited to be giving a keynote on automater biodiversity monitoring today at the @alterneteurope.bsky.social conference @mambo-project.eu @biodiversa.eu @onestop-project.eu @insectai.bsky.social

This scrub encroachment is endangering several Northern Alpine butterflies in Europe, a seemingly unstoppable impact

#Shrubs are encroaching tundra vegetation due to #climatechange, but not everywhere and all at once. Plant responses are context-specific. Only a coordinated international data collection, excellent leadership and rigorous analyses could tease this apart. Huge credit to @nanitundra.bsky.social

🌸Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic 🌸 Our new study @nature.com analysed plant diversity change in >2000 tundra plots over 4 decades. We found that plants changed unevenly, mostly driven by warming and biotic interactions. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵 (1/7) 🌐🧪🌱🌍

#Cameratraps can record rich and #standardized data on a wide range of #insect #species and thus help track #biodiversity recovery and #ecologicalrestoration. Here, we present real time image processing @mambo-project.eu @insectai.bsky.social zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

🚨We’re hiring a postdoc in Woodland Phenology & Climate Change at Uni Southern Denmark!🚨 Combines fieldwork (Sweden & Denmark), remote sensing (drone/camera) & genetics to study phenological response to climate. Link: fa-eosd-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com.mcas.ms/hcmUI/Candid... Pls share!

💡 Innovation in action — @asgersvenning.bsky.social opens a world of possibilities —through technological advancement in ecology! 🐞

🦋 At the #FutureforButterflies symposium, @tokehoye.bsky.social (@au.dk) talked about long-term #monitoring using insect cameras 📸 He also co-authored a new paper on emerging tools for #PollinatorMonitoring 🐝 👉 Read more: tinyurl.com/yc7t5xjk @biodiversaplus.bsky.social @mambo-project.eu

@asgersvenning.bsky.social rocks the boat with this new paper, code and data describing an amazing enabling #computervision tool to localize #insects in images. So many applications in #entomology, #monitoring and #conservation @insectai.bsky.social @mambo-project.eu @onestop-project.eu

Great to see @onestop-project.eu visual presence. In WP2, we develop scalable #computervision, #eDNA, #iEcology and #citizenscience tools for early detection of invasive alien species. Subscribe to the newsletter to get updates from this exciting project!

🗣️ @tokehoye.bsky.social is presenting his latest research paper on #biodiversitymonitoring at the #FutureforButterflies 🦋 🎶 Stay tuned for updates and find out more here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Important new study in @nature.com on how #darkdiversity can give insights on the diversity in local #plant communities that observed #diversity can't. With contributions from me, my two @au.dk colleagues @tokehoye.bsky.social & Signe Normand and many others. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great to be at the #FutureforButterflies. Tomorrow I will speak about this new paper and our work with #biodiversitymonitoring using #Insect #cameratraps and #AI as part of @mambo-project.eu @onestop-project.eu and @insectai.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...?

Excited to announce our new paper, “Global impoverishment of natural vegetation revealed by dark diversity,” out today in Nature – and it’s open access! Huge global collaboration led by Meelis Pärtel 🌐@macroecologyut.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to have contributed to this paper just out @nature.com. #Darkdiversity is highly relevant in the context of #ecologicalrestoration and #biodiversitymonitoring www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I look forward to give a keynote lecture on #biodiversitymonitoring with #insect #cameratraps, #computervision and #deeplearning at the #EntomologyCongress Geisenheim later today @insectai.bsky.social @mambo-project.eu @onestop-project.eu @biodiversaplus.bsky.social
