Great new research shows that light pollution prevents activity in the critical twilight period (just after sunset) in a moth and spider species. 🕷️🦋💡- this calls for mitigations targeting this critical time period. Read more in our dispatch:

It’s the end of #EcoNet2025 and what better way to celebrate than an exploration of Bamburgh Castle and walk on the beach
Back home after a wonderful week! Learning so much about metabarcoding 🧬thanks to the workshop organized by @nclneg.bsky.social, followed by inspiring plenaries, talks & posters! Loved catching up with 🫶🏼friends & meeting new generation of net ecologists. Already looking forward to the next one in 🇧🇷!

Do you do moth trapping in the UK? We'd love your help! 💡
At @ukceh.bsky.social we're training & testing AI to detect multiple moths in a single image.
Send us top-down photos of multiple moths on egg trays to support this work.

A student academic poster containing a lot of text that is titled: Combining multiple entomological traps with metabarcoding to maximise species detection.
Five people stand by the interpretation board outside at Cockle Park Farm: two on the left, and three on the right, all who look and smile at the camera.
Darren Evans presents a slice of cake cut from the shown chocolate cake as he smiles at the camera.

We’re pleased to see the interp board that we produced with @dmevans.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social installed at Palace Leas!
3 weeks ago, we visited the site & witnessed a student poster go up. Thanks to Made By Landmark & #nclfarms staff.

Come and join us in Newcastle for a wonderful gathering of network ecologists! This year our theme is 'Network Ecology in the Anthropocene' and our plenary speakers include Jane Memmott and Paulo Guimarães. Symposium tickets are an absolute bargain, especially for students.
Having had time to digest the new BNG consultation, I am *astounded* at the proposed changes to the small sites metric (SSM). If the changes are implemented, the SSM could apply to developments up to 49 dwellings/1ha - affecting a lot of developments! 1/ consult.defra.gov.uk/defra-biodiv...
🚨WHERE ARE THE CRAB SPIDERS?🚨
If you spot any crab spiders on flowers, help out @envirosyment.bsky.social by sending in photos and, even better, live spiders! This will help inform her important research on the weird and wonderful interactions between invertebrate predators and plants!
Seen a Flower Crab Spider? Get that camera out! 📸
By taking a few pics (potentially sending a sample), you could contribute to some really cool science, led by @envirosyment.bsky.social! And if you’ve never seen one, now is the time! Check out the handy thread below for ID help 🔍
