Amateur entomologist and professional palaeoecologist. Looking for a work(where?)/life(Prague) balance and all the beautiful things on this planet.
New article published:
First records of beetle fauna (Coleoptera) from Late Glacial sediments of Lithuania.

It is possible, and the results are novel! Looking forward to more studies on subfossil insect remains in the Baltic region :)

If you're going to attend the @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social meeting next week, please stop by our discussion session on Advances in methologies in archaeoentomology (Wednesday 03.09 16:30 - 18:30, session 242 room 20). We are excited to have David Smith open the discussion with his added presentation.

Not the most conventional conference to present my poster @cpeg-cpb25.bsky.social . But what great people, interesting talks, and methodologies. Three more days full of inspiration 🤩

My internship at the NHM London is at an end, and the most spectacular finding are Agabus arcticus remains in the Late Glacial deposits from Southern Lithuania. This species, and more cold-adapted species IDs, will make climate reconstructions for Lithuania during Late Glacial. I'm very excited! 🥳

Week #2 at the @nhm.org is closing. Finding lots of cold-adapted species in beetle assemblages from Late Glacial deposits from Lithuania. Can't wait to publish this year. One more week to go! 🐞

New paper out: Ten simple rules to publish palaeoecological data in ecology journals. Especially for ECRs, I hope it can be useful.
dx.doi.org/10.1371/jour...
It mostly reads as a 'how to write and publish an article', but we added many tips and references from palaeoecology.

Ten simple rules to bridge ecology and palaeoecology by publishing outside palaeoecological journals
Owing to its specialised methodology, palaeoecology is often regarded as a separate field from ecology, even though it is essential for understanding long-term ecological processes that have shaped th...

Last week, we found black gold again. The Ūla river in #Lithuania gives access to late Glacial sediment, sometimes even with beautiful bivalve remains. We @ Nature Research Centre #Vilnius will investigate what other macro remains are captured in these >10,000 yo lake sediments.

Yesterday I signed the contract to work at the Nature Research Centre in Vilnius. I am receiving a two-year postdoc fellowship grant from the Lithuanian Research Council to to study Early Holocene beetle assemblages from the Eastern Baltic region (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland) 😀
