Join me at 16:15 today in HS 1 if you're attending #DGL2025 and especially if you're interested in heat tolerance, video monitoring and Daphnia 😊

Last weekend, I attended the second part of the Odonata identification course organized by KennArt and NABU Münsterland. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity, for meeting amazing odonata fans and learning so much!

FYI if you're not in the right time zone for this do not fret! Sign up as an online attendee to get access to the required docs and Discord site, then you can contribute when it's a good time for you and chat with others awake at the same time on Discord. Fun for all time zones!

Folge 33 von Natur 2.0 ist ein Spezial zur Oder-Katastrophe im Jahr 2022. Damals starben im Hochsommer massenhaft Fische und anderen Lebewesen. Was steckte dahinter? Ein Wunschthema aus der Hörerschaft.

For those interested in my small project on #odonata in #urbanponds, you can now get all updates on my new Instagram profile@WingsOverWaters

I am also using this account for science communication focusing on odonata in general. Feel free to follow and share widely!

exuviae, which I absolutely enjoy doing, and am learning so much about it! I am even creating a lot of Instagram content with small IDing guides and advice, and attending a special Odonata Identification course organized by KennArt and NABU Münsterland. Very excited about the future of this project!

attractive and suitable for dragon- and damselflies. This is an incredible opportunity to delve into urban ecology, learn about odonata, extend my network, bring people together and communicate science, which I find super important! I am also investing quite some time into identification of 3/n

positively surprised by the number of larvae and exuviae I found, together with two very motivated student helpers. What brings me most joy is talking to the "owners" of the ponds, who are all so kind and super interested, and keen to learn and even improve their ponds to make them even more 2/n

A month ago, I started a small project on #odonata in #urbanponds, where I'm monitoring 10 different ponds in a community garden in Cologne over a course of 5 months and assessing the diversity of dragonflies and damselflies. This weekend, I was visiting the ponds for a second time, and was 1/n

Wichtig: die Libellen sollten keinesfalls gestört, gefangen oder getötet werden. Die frisch geschlüpften Imagines sind sehr empfindlich! Außerdem sollten in der Natur die Wanderwege nicht verlassen werden. Sammelt also Exuvien nur dann, wenn dadurch die Libellen & die Natur nicht geschädigt werden.

Ihr habt einen Gartenteich oder seid gerne in der Natur unterwegs und interessiert euch für Artenvielfalt? Dann wäre dies eine tolle Gelegenheit, im Rahmen von #CitizenScience Exuvien von Libellen zu sammeln für Forschung und Lehre. Mehr Infos findet ihr unten. Gerne teilen!

Freue mich sehr über diesen Insektenführer von Thomas Hörren! Vorallem bin ich dankbar, dass ich ein paar Fotos beisteuern konnte, was für eine Ehre!

In der 24. Folge von Natur 2.0 - dem Biodiversitätspodcast war Wissenschaftsjournalistin Katharina Adick zu Gast. @janaisanta.bsky.social und ich haben uns ganz besonders gefreut, denn einige kennen sie vielleicht schon als die Stimme unseres Intros oder ihrem Podcast mit Hundeprofi Martin Rütter.
