Schematic illustration that I created for COLDWEBS project.
The project looked into food webs and salmonid fish populations in cold-water Fennoscandian lakes at different latitudes and altitudes, how natural and anthropogenic factors impact those food webs and fish populations #ResearchIllustration

I truly appreciate jobs like this! Helping to visualize important topics about the future of the natural world. A figure showing Future biodiversity loss scenarios in Finland was commissioned by the Finnish Nature Panel (@luontopaneeli.fi‬) in 2023

My drawing of a "living fossil" tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus apus) for the Daugavpils Bat Centre in Daugavpils, Latvia. These crustaceans are occasionally found in the moats of Daugavpils Fortress. A rare sight, as they appear only in the spring if there is flooding that year. #SciComm #illustration

I was officiall photographer for Oikos Finland 2025 Conference! Four day full-time photoshoot.
My fingers hurt from holding camera, but it was so much fun! Thanks to the organisers of @oikosfinland.bsky.social for choosing me as a photographer, especially to @pauliarancibia.bsky.social!
