Nutrient Dilution and the Future of Herbivores: a short thread
The fossil fuel folks claimed that all the extra CO2 is great for plants. Indeed, plant mass has increased globally by about 30% in the past century.
But when you load a plant up the carbs, what happens to all its other nutrients?

This month, we have finished the LEPMON experiments for this year. In the LEPMON project we design and test an automated monitoring system for nocturnal insects using computer vision and AI.

Marking moths for #LEPMON. We're trying to find out how often moths are counted multiple times by the AI, so we first need to be sure we know how many there actually were.

#LEPMON on the road. I took the tram today to replace a broken trap. Was not worse than driving a car through the Leipzig rush hour at 30+ degrees

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

🎧 New episode of #InsideBiodiversity out now! Megafaunal extinctions — mammoths, giant sloths, woolly rhinos — all happened just 10K–50K years ago. Prof. Susanne Fritz (iDiv & @uni-jena.de) shares how climate & humans played a role — & why speciation may be ongoing. 🦣🌡️ insidebiodiversity.podigee.io

Well done, people, well done. Now every study can be discarded as not being good enough.

Today I was at the insektenaktionstag of the Naturkundemuseum Leipzig with Max to present the LEPMON trap and insectDetect to the general public. A great event with over 1000 visitors and great networking
