Sensors and AI could transform how we track insect declines, but the road to robust “insect sensing systems” is riddled with pitfalls 🫗🐞🪰 @insectai.bsky.social & friends propose seven steps to dodge them, working responsibly with tech and AI to generate huge & standardized datasets Open access 1/

Insect monitoring without pitfalls: Seven steps for robust insect sensing systems

Cameras, acoustics, radar and photonics allow us to observe insects at unprecedented spatial and temporal scales. Different sensors have unique strengths, while species ID is a critical bottleneck. ...

📡 Why do Martins and Swallows pass by the Great Lakes when they do - Great collaboration with Yuting Deng and @kyle-horton.bsky.social. @biodiversa.eu 📡

Birds will be arriving soon! This map shows peak migration dates across the US modeled using radar data. Keep in mind, the dates represent peaks, but migration usually plays out across a couple of weeks, so estimate ± 1 week on either side of the dates on the map for max migration activity.

These are 5 autumn migration routes travelled by the same common tern. He’s not the only one showing such flexibility, and it pays, because in our new paper, published by @royalsocietypublishing.org, we show that route flexibility is associated with minimized headwind exposure: tinyurl.com/4dawhwzj

Our @batumiraptorcount.org Autumn Report is now online! Ever considered coming to Batumi to watch the incredible migration of 1+ million raptors 🦅, either as tourist or volunteer? Let our richly illustrated reports convince you to come next year. www.batumiraptorcount.org/autumn-repor... 🪶

A male Pallid Harrier giving impeccable views as it rapidly passed the count station. The bird shows its characteristic almost black-and-white plumage with the thin black wedge at the wingtips, and stands out clearly against the dark backdrop of the Batumi bottleneck.

Wondering why acoustic indices may also correlate with diversity metrics of non-vocalizing species? Check out our new paper led by @saskiadroege.bsky.social with acoustic, habitat quality, and multi-taxa biodiversity data from northeastern Madagascar! doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...
