Exciting progress in #insect #monitoring! Meetings and on-site installation of the new AMI system mark a big step towards practical, cost-effective & standardised monitoring solutions.This upgraded system enables automated monitoring of insects for better biodiversity insights.

The #TEELab met with SE Asia #dungbeetle experts, Dr. Teruo Ochi & Dr. Masahiro Kon at the Osaka Museum of Natural History, Japan. We will work with them to describe new species & provide baseline data for long-term biodiversity monitoring 🔬🪲 teelabntu.wixsite.com/home/post/st...

We are proud to share that recent research from #TEELab at Asian School of the Environment, NTU, was featured in The Straits Times as part of the SG60 special on Singapore’s “City in Nature” vision 🌳🏢🌳 teelabntu.wixsite.com/home/post/bi...

What an incredible learning with pre-university students who joined us during #science #discovery camp with Asian School of Environment, Nanyang Technological University, SG. Students got a behind-the-scenes look into our labs. Meet real #ecologist in action!

🧬🪲 #Congratulations to our #TEELab PhD student, Zann Teo on passing her Qualifying Examination! Her exciting #research carrying out #molecular work on #Scarabaeinae dung beetles in #Singapore marks a significant step forward in understanding the hidden diversity of these important taxa.

We’re excited to host Prof. Rudolf Meier from the Berlin Natural History Museum to #TEELab @eleslade.bsky.social @xinruiong.bsky.social. We had great discussions on automating invertebrate barcoding protocols & molecular techniques in biodiversity. Look forward on future collaboration 🪲🐜🦟🪰🐝🦋

Great piece by Nadine Keller on her PhD work, using novel methods to highlight the important role #dungbeetles have in maintaining #soil hydrological functioning in #tropical #forests #biodiversity #ecosystemfunctioning #insects #Entomology @teelab.bsky.social research swissnex.org/articles/dun...

Why isn't the world covered in poop? Because of decomposers like #dungbeetles of course! @paulypod and @eleslade.bsky.social had an amzing time making this with @TED_ED. Hope you enjoy it! t.ted.com/FM0DPyl

This is our lab account and we focus on how species respond to environmental change and the consequences this has for species interactions and ecosystem functioning. We have a soft spot for invertebrates, but we have also been known to work on birds, mammals, plants & microbes! #teelab
