The IUSSI’s international conference is currently taking place in Freiburg, and the MonitAnt team is having a great time presenting a wealth of interesting data from two years of research! 🐜 @uissi-social.bsky.social #IUSSI26

Two weeks ago, we had our MonitAnt workshop with all project partners in the beautiful Bavarian Forest National Park. We even managed a short field trip, where everyone enjoyed being surrounded by wood ants and their myrmecophiles (see picture). 😉

Exciting MonitAnt meeting at the Natural History Museum, Brussels. Great discussions on fieldwork and ant ID, plus a rare glimpse of the museum after hours! 🐜🦖

Over the past four days, the MonitAnt team has been meeting in Germany for a really productive workshop, even with new faces. A lot was discussed and prepared and now we are ready for another successful field season in 2025! Can you guess what we wanted to show in the last picture? 🐜

As a first post, we can now announce that we have started our already successful Citizen Science project on INaturalist. 👉http://bit.ly/4i7Uh7w Once joined, every observation can be assigned to this project (even retrospectively). So please share this and map out some ant mounds. 🐜🌳
