Our paper shows that most ectomycorrhizal fungal species (83% of OTUs) are "dark taxa": species we detect in DNA, but can't match to known species names. We map global "darkspots" - the parts of the world most in need of more research. @spun.earth @ethz.ch www.cell.com/current-biol...

Celebrated the #FestivalofBiodiversity2025 hosted by #NParks last weekend with the Entomological Network of Singapore (ENSING)!
Heartened by how many kids and adults alike shared their passion for bugs with us 💖 Met a few budding entomologists as well which was amazing! Can't wait for next year 😊

We have a moth project to build #moth database on #iNaturalist for 🇸🇬 & 🇲🇾! Moths are understudied, so we need your help!
📸 If you’ve taken moth pics, upload them to iNaturalist (use Singapore/Malaysia if unsure of location) or email us (see poster) with your name for credits 😇

I finally got to sort through the parasitoids (Torymidae, Eulophidae, Pteromalidae s.l. etc) that I reared from galls/larvae of Cecidomyiidae during 2024. Now, 38 samples have been sent to my friend Dick Askew for thorough identification. The docu shots are entirely handheld 🤡

Happy new year everybody! #2024 was a whirlwind of a year with the lowest lows, but I've come away from it with newfound appreciation, resilience and gratitude. Hoping for a much brighter 2025, here's to a new year ✨

The more we know about Cecids the more amazing they turn out to be!
Hard to capture with a phone, but one of my very favorite things is the way some gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) like to hang by their front legs from spider webs.

That’s a wrap!
There’s nothing quite like seeing ecologists and practitioners come together, sparking new ideas and collaborations. We can’t wait to bring this energy to Edinburgh next year.
Until then, stay connected and stay inspired!
