🌟new paper🌟 the first chapter of my thesis is out in #ecography ! We present #regionalbiomes as a novel spatial unit for global biodiversity monitoring frameworks 🌏 This unit could increase resolution on biodiversity trends 📈 whilst keeping data collection feasible 📋🏞 doi.org/10.1111/ecog...

I have some PhD projects now available for application if you are interested in insect biodiversity change. Please check out the links below and shout if you have questions!
