Hey! How are you coping with the post-holiday blues? We're ready for anything! 🏁

Take a look at @robwilsonmncn.bsky.social contribution to #Ento25 in Glasgow. It's another chance to show off our progress on the #INCSTEP reference collection!

#NameItToSaveIt 🐝🪰🦋

@incstep.bsky.social pushes for a #pollinators 🐝 Reference Collection in Spain 🇪🇸

By the way, we are out with a #policybrief on Reference Collections 👉 tettris.eu/Publications/

Entomological collections are sustained by all those involved in their study and management. From #INCSTEP @tettris.eu we want to give them voice 🗣️, so we will publish a series of short interviews to introduce some of these people linked to the project.

Today, let's meet Antonio Ricarte! 🪰🌼

🚨New paper 🚨We argue that abrupt biodiversity losses can be driven by populations sharing similar tolerances to warming 🦋🌎🥵. Out now in @royalsocietypublishing.org. Summary thread below 🧵

Well done @armandrm.bsky.social
I have heard it was a great class!
