DIOPSIS insectencamera’s: van experiment naar volwaardige monitoring
Insectenpopulaties nemen alarmerend snel af. Innovatieve techniek helpt om nauwgezet te meten welke verandering waar plaatsvindt. In het DIOPSIS pilotproject is een nieuw model insectencamera ontwikkeld, waarmee ruim 35 miljoen foto’s gemaakt werden op 120 locaties in zes provincies. Ecologische analyses zijn veelbelovend en de techniek wordt steeds breder inzetbaar voor natuuronderzoek.

Our Sampling Lead Onno is, of course, also sampling himself. He found a new species for the Netherlands right on his own balcony, and made the national newspaper Telegraaf. Who only made five penis jokes in their story 🍆😀

Unieke ontdekking, gewoon op balkon in Voorschoten: naaktslak met mini-penis
In Nederland is een nieuwe naaktslak opgedoken. Het gaat om de Ambigolimax parvipenis, wat letterlijk ’kleine penis’ betekent. Bioloog Onno Calf, verbonden aan Naturalis in Leiden, vond het glibberige diertje met de ieniemienie-piemel onlangs op zijn balkon in Voorschoten.

Local newspaper Noordhollands Dagblad did a rather nice story about our work, using our test site in the Amsterdamse Waterleidingen as a starting point. In Dutch:
noordhollandsdagblad.nl
Wetenschappers brengen biodiversiteit in duinlandschap in beeld. ’Straks kunnen we alle 45.000 soorten in Nederland volgen’
Het gaat niet goed met de soortenrijkdom in Nederland. Van de 45.000 soorten wordt 30 procent bedreigd met uitsterven. Tijd om in te grijpen. Maar ja, hoe weet je precies waar welk beest of plant in het natuurgebied zit? Het onderzoeksprogramma Arise geeft het antwoord. Via een geavanceerd sensorsysteem wordt de complete soortenrijkdom in Nederland in beeld gebracht: met camera’s, maar ook afluisterposten en zelfs DNA-onderzoek. Deze krant liep een ochtend mee in de Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen.
