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. ...

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

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
