Excited to see this paper from James Crall's team with their advanced automated pollinator monitoring system!
Been looking forward to reading this after hearing all about it at the ACCESS Summer school 🙂❤️🐝
Congratulations on a very cool paper @pauenric.bsky.social!
It was great to meet you at the ACCESS summer school this year 😆 I've been waiting to see this!
Inspiring presentation by @abigaillowe.bsky.social working with farmers to monitor moth biodiversity 🦋💙

Who's there in spring, when you need them most? Whose blushing tips are the perfect counterparts to lichen-dappled hindwings? And who can be seen almost anywhere 🧡 even in the city?
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 🎥🔭

Detecting pollinators with AI isn't as easy as people say 🔎🐝
Studies show high scores on one dataset 📈 then imply the model is useful elsewhere 🤥
@veralis.bsky.social & co. don't board the AI hype train 🤖🚆
They expose real challenges when deploying GBIF-trained AI for pollinator surveillance 🐞🪰👍
Just under 2 weeks left to apply for the Aarhus Computational Entomology Summer School 🐛
darsa.info/ACCESS-2026/
15 successful applicants will be fully-funded by InsectAI to develop skills in AI and sensors for insect monitoring in mid-September 🤖🪰
Feedback for 2025 and 2026 was great!

🚨 In press in Journal of Ecology 🍀 We found plant community thermophilisation 🌿☘️🌡📈 & rapid species range shifts towards 🏔 summits in the 🇨🇭 Alps, but 🌿☘️🌡📈 only shows up when using 0-1 data
➡️ Weighting by 🌿 abundance data dilutes the signal 🌐🧪

Declines in insect abundance are a cause for concern, with potential downstream impacts on ecosystem function. Insects are key food resources for insectivorous vertebrates, with evidence that reductio...
