Happy to see this large data release and analysis of decades of #tachinidae collected by #DanJanzen, #WinnieHallwachs and the #parataxonomists of #ACG @gdfcf.bsky.social in #CostaRica. So much diversity!

Paper here:
doi.org/10.3390/d170...

Data here:
doi.org/10.5683/SP3/...

Figure 1. Four representative tachinid species from ACG. (A) Patelloa ‘xanthuraDHJ01’ voucher DHJPAR0034758; (B) Chorotegamyia sp.; (C) Spathidexia atripalpus; (D) Phosocephala alexanderi female voucher DHJPAR0048468. Photo credits - AJ Fleming CNC

bipartite diagram showing the host-specificity of ACG tachinids in the genus Belvosia. Species in red were formerly known as one species that is now known to be three by host-use and genetics. Where formalised names exist, they are largely honoring ACG paraxonomists.

Venn diagram of the overlap between the diversity of ACG tachinids known from rearing larval lepidoptera versus those that are collected in Malaise traps. Only 18.5% overlap.

Evident decline in the abundance of tachinid parasaitoids (here counts/year for the two most abundant subfamilies) in ACG after the stabalisation of the parataxonomist collection workforce in ~2005

A call for bio-inspired technologies!

🪱 A teaspoon of soil holds more life than there are humans on Earth—yet <1% of biomimetic studies focus on soil. Time to change that.

Check out our new article: doi.org/10.3390/biom...

A poster that reads "Can Ecosystem Services be entirely replaced?" with a quote from a Biomimetics 2025 publication: "If we are to avoid a post-climate apocalyptic reality, researcher from various disciplines, artists, community knowledge holders, creative thinkers, and strategic problem solvers are called on for innovations and technologies to help the world prepare and mitigate risks"
