Thrilled to see our special issue ‘Towards a toolkit for global insect biodiversity monitoring’ out in Phil Trans B today royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2024/…. Check out great papers on novel tech for insect monitoring and our paper on using technology in CS doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2…

Our new study on 'Emerging technologies in citizen science and potential for 🐛🐞🦋monitoring' is out!

Many thanks to Julie K. Sheard 🐜 for leading the team and opportunity to participate on this exciting work, and Royal Society Publishing for publishing this.

Academic publishing requires linguistically inclusive policies! Our survey of 736 biological journals policies found that most journals make minimal efforts to overcome language barriers. Great thanks to Henry Arenas-Castro & Tatsuya Amano for leading this.
