If you are at the NSO-GfÖ conference and want to talk about open and equitable science, come say hi!
SORTEE at the NSO-GfÖ conference! Want to discuss open, reliable, equitable & reproducible science? Say hi at our booth! You’ll find a 'science frustration & hopes' board, information leaflets, and a chance to win a #SORTEE t-shirt 🎉 #NSO2026 #GfOe2026 @nordicoikos.bsky.social @gfoesoc.bsky.social
I’ll be at the stand (come say hi 👋)
Visit the #SORTEE stand at the NSO–GfÖ joint conference in Odense, Denmark, in September (13th to 18th)! Come and say hi, grab a sticker, and discuss open and reproducible science with us. We can't wait to see you there! #NSO2026 #GfOe2026 @nordicoikos.bsky.social @gfoesoc.bsky.social
Yesterday I had the chance to take part in a great training on odonates hosted by Bastien Louboutin and Jason Crebassa. Theoretical training in the morning and field work in the afternoon: the perfect method to learn more about Hérault dragonflies!
It was a pleasure to present our preliminary results from the DRAGON project and attend all great presentations last week at #BioMonWeek2026. Stay tuned for updates on our results!
Submissions for the greatest conference on open and transparent science in ecology and evolution are now open! If you have something to share, don't hesitate to submit an abstract! This year, I'm also involved in the conference organization so feel free to reach out if you have any questions 😊
📢 Content submissions for the 6th SORTEE Conference (13-14 Oct 2026) are now OPEN #SORTEE2026 Submit your proposal for an unconference, hackathon or workshop by June 7th via sortee.org/upcoming SORTEE members can attend for free. Join us sortee.org/join/
Last week I had the pleasure to present a poster at the Biodiversity in Equations conference. A nice opportunity to exchange with great and knowledgeable people. Also the first time I formally presented our occupancy results from the DRAGON project!
A great article to know more about our last publication with the DRAGON project! It’s a really good summary made accessible to everyone, so don’t hesitate to read on (English version available through this link ➡️ www.fondationbiodiversite.fr/en/investiga...)

Happy to share my very first article dragonflies ! We investigate how dragonflies traits are linked with their vulnerability in Europe. Our main conclusions: habitat, life cycle length and temperature preferences are the main traits linked with vulnerability. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mnPQ1R%7E...

The latest European Grassland Butterfly Indicator is out. It shows that grassland butterflies have declined by 47% since 1991, indicating a huge loss of grassland biodiversity. The data come from 16,150 transects & 15,000 volunteers. We are calling for urgent action. www.bc-europe.eu/documents/69...
