What a pleasure to have been at the joint NSO-GfÖ conference! I feel like I made the most out of my time there: 👩‍💻 assisted the occupancy workshop led by Gesa von Hirschheydt 🌱 ran the @sortee.bsky.social stand with Miriam Beck and @ineta.bsky.social 📉 presented my postdoc results #NSO2026 #GfOe2026

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!

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...

Everybody makes money out of academic authors except the authors...News. Wiley is the latest academic publisher to reach a multi-million deal to allow access to its content to AI developers, with no opt out, let alone payment, for the authors who created that content.
