Finally, the day has arrived, first day at the @ebrs2024 !!
Isn't it cool the bat-cave conference room? 🤩

Finally, the monumental work led by @SoniaFe02577409 is out, reporting on moth barcodes from Portugal, based on 2350 specimens from 1158 species.

A work started in 2018, is finally out.
Our results reveal simplified bird-pest interaction networks with increased agricultural cover, where bird abundance emerges as the key predictor of species' importance in pest consumption.

As part of my PhD, we quantify, for the 1st time in Europe, the #EcosystemServices of #bats as insect pest suppressors in #rice paddies🌾🦇. Bats halved plant damage, saving ∼70 kg rice/ha, which translates into 💸56€/ha

We just described 2 new isopod species and identified some new records from São Tomé.
Hopefully, there will be more opportunities to further explore the biodiversity of this country.

#BGE's Terrestrial Sampling just started!
High Mountain Systems started setting 10 Malaise traps in the Serra da Estrela Mountain range in Portugal.
Colleagues from 7 other ranges will also set their traps. We aim to study arthropods communities across Europe! 🇪🇺
