A gentle intro to cameras, computer vision and AI for insect monitoring by me and Toke Thomas Høye in the new Routledge Books Handbook of Insect Conservation doi.org/10.4324/978100… Excited to read other chapters from Charlie Outhwaite, Tom Rhys Bishop, Lynn Dicks! (PM me if access denied...)

A brilliant opportunity to contribute alongside so many fantastic people! An easy intro to climate change impacts on insects, give it a read :)

And if you want to hear about solutions, give this chapter a read afterwards ☺️

Had a great time yesterday at the launch of the People & Nature Lab seminar series and incredible rooftop garden. A beautiful space for biodiversity with innovative sensor systems for monitoring.
