Excellent work by Mariana and team! Wonderful to have such an incredible database that's shared to understand tundra dynamics.

This work was based on the amazing International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) and funded by @ec.europa.eu @nordborn.bsky.social & others. Thanks to my 38 wonderful coauthors, including @icbarrio.bsky.social @annebeejay.bsky.social @robertgbjork.bsky.social @matsbjorkman.bsky.social (5/6)

Maybe a lesson for Canada?

Aarne Granlund @aarnegranlund.bsky.social · Sep 3

In Finland, they are more economically significant in lobbying than by exports and productivity increase.

We were there a couple of times during a recent visit to Perth. What a gem! But didn't see the elusive quenda unfortunately.

It's so excellent that Australia 🇦🇺 has an insect of the year. I think Canada 🇨🇦 needs this!

If you could choose, what would be your country's insect of the year?
