Excited to see this paper from James Crall's team with their advanced automated pollinator monitoring system! Been looking forward to reading this after hearing all about it at the ACCESS Summer school 🙂❤️🐝

Orange-tip - Britain’s Favourite Butterfly

The Orange-tip is one of the 60 beautiful butterflies found across the UK. Will it be Britain's Favourite Butterfly?

Congratulations on a very cool paper @pauenric.bsky.social! It was great to meet you at the ACCESS summer school this year 😆 I've been waiting to see this!

‼️🚨My first PhD paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social We built an automated camera system to detect plant–pollinator interactions (day & night) and compared networks from cameras vs. focal observations. 📜👉 doi.org/10.1111/2041... @annatraveset.bsky.social @imedea.bsky.social

Detecting pollinators with AI isn't as easy as people say 🔎🐝 Studies show high scores on one dataset 📈 then imply the model is useful elsewhere 🤥 @veralis.bsky.social & co. don't board the AI hype train 🤖🚆 They expose real challenges when deploying GBIF-trained AI for pollinator surveillance 🐞🪰👍

Valentin Ștefan@veralis.bsky.social · last yr.

Our latest research explores how YOLO object detectors, trained on citizen science images, perform on unseen time-lapse images of pollinators captured with a fixed smartphone setup. While successful for larger pollinators, detecting smaller or blurrier flower visitors remains a challenge.

You may have heard of MegaDetector 🐅 What about a MiniDetector? 🪰 In my opinion flatbug is the closest thing we have to a universal insect detector. Open source and free to use. Amazing & groundbreaking work lead by @asgersvenning.bsky.social & @qgeissmann.bsky.social

I am excited to share that my first first-author paper, “A General Method for Detection and Segmentation of Terrestrial Arthropods in Images,” is now available on preprint. If you are interested take a look at my blog (asgersvenning.com/flat-bug/) or consider reading the pre-print (linked below).

Last year we hosted the first Aarhus Computational Entomology Summer School 💻🐞 20 talented participants got inspired about AI for insect monitoring 🤖📸🐝 So much 5⭐ feedback A week of free tuition, food and lodging in a National Park 🐎 so not surprising This year: Up to 20 more lucky people! 🍀

Quentin Geissmann @qgeissmann.bsky.social · last yr.

Aarhus Comprehensive Computational Entomology Summer School (ACCESS-2025). Learn how to develop and apply novel technologies to insect ecology. *Deadline April 15th* for this fully funded (through @insectai.bsky.social) opportunity! More on darsa.info/ACCESS-2025/
