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.

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

So happy to share that the final chapter of my PhD is now out in PNAS! 🥳 Together with @michaelmhansen.bsky.social and @tokehoye.bsky.social I present a genomics-informed framework for assessing risks of outbreeding depression and guiding genetic rescue decisions 🦋🧬 doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2526216122

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/...

Keeping up with climate change: have Arctic arthropods reached their phenological limits? | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

Many arthropods show earlier seasonal activity with warming, but these responses cannot continue indefinitely. Identifying such phenological thresholds is crucial for understanding limits to climate tracking and species persistence, but few studies test ...

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

#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
