Stalagmite in the cave of aven d'Orgnac. I'm not sure of the official name but it definitely should be: The Snail.

Bloody-nosed beetle (Timarcha tenebricosa). So-called because they exude droplets of so-called nosebleed (but which is their bright red-orange hemolymph coming out of their mouth).

First (but hopefully not last) scientific publication on our species inventory on #Koltur came out today. Big thanks to all our collaborators! Publicly available under: ojs.setur.fo/index.php/fr...

Always an adventure visiting our more inaccessible monitoring plots on the Northern side of #Koltur.

Elodes pseudominuta is one of the species which is more common on #Koltur than expected. We find it during July among mosses in the vicinity of small streams.

Me and my colleagues at #Tjóðsavnið have studied the island #Koltur since 2019. Our species checklist is now publicly available on @gbif.org. And the first publication is on the way...

Me and @agneskreiling.bsky.social have seen a lot of cool species while on vacation in #Spain: #chamalaeon, #flamingo, #octopus and a huge #robberfly.

It has been a treat visiting @Theresahenke.bsky.social and hear about her work on #bioinvasions.

Seabirds are our compass!🌊

Did you know the largest High Seas Marine Protected Area (MPA) outside Antarctica was identified from seabird tracking data?🌍

The NACES MPA is used by up to five million birds, such as Arctic Tern and Atlantic Puffin.
