**Attention fly enthusiasts!** We're looking for presenters for the Dipterists Society General Meeting at ESA @entsocamerica.bsky.social in Portland, OR (November 11th)
If you're interested in giving a talk, please DM me for a link to submit a title/abstract. Deadline to submit is October 10th.
#LIBresearch A year-long study across 21 protected areas in Germany, supported by #citizenscientists, uncovered over 14,000 #arthropod species. Findings show high regional diversity, with 33% found only in specific areas, and highlight the need for focused #insectconservation efforts: t1p.de/m4dk9

🌍📱 #LIBresearch: New smartphone tech revolutionises digitisation of natural history collections! 🦋🌱
Researchers at the LIB developed a method to digitally capture insect label data with just a phone, wirelessly and for free. This accelerates the preservation of biodiversity data! 🙌

No #Diptera... 🦟 but we are proud and happy to present the first clinical study on #physicalplasma application in wildlife... So far there is almost no data available for #veterinaryresearch...
