Sensors and AI can transform understanding of insect biodiversity 🪰📈
BUT we must be wary of the AI hype-train 🚆 and respect existing data and traditional monitoring 🙇
Our new synthetic review lays out seven steps to realise the potential of insect sensing systems 🎥🔭

Today is #InternationalWomensDay 🌿
We celebrate the women contributing to biodiversity research at iDiv and across our partner institutions.
Their work – from field studies to global analyses – helps us better understand and protect life on Earth.

There are now millions of publicly-available AI models – which one is right for you?
We introduce CODA ( #ICCV2025 Highlight! ), a method for *active model selection.* CODA selects the best model for your data with any labeling budget – often as few as 25 labeled examples. 1/

Too many mediocre men talk over capable women.
Study of problem-solving teams: Men dominate the conversation, taking 50% more turns and saying 69% more than women. Men with low skill speak more than women with high skill.
It's long past time to value competence over confidence.
📢Please share📢 We have an opening for an exciting fully-funded PhD project on computer vision and machine learning applied to biodiversity monitoring with amazing Serge Belongie @belongielab.org and @aicentre.dk. Application deadline coming up on 15 January!

‼️🚨My first PhD paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social
We built an automated camera system to detect plant–pollinator interactions (day & night) and compared networks from cameras vs. focal observations.

Turns out, a lot of the plants we use for bee habit enhancement are already common and mostly support those darn common generalists!
Thanks @joseblanuza.bsky.social for the help getting this across the line

Excited to share a new paper led by our colleagues at #DLR! We trained AI to recognize 15 European fly pollinator families and estimate how confident it is, helping ecologists use AI more responsibly.
