    @alexwild@mastodon.online TIL- collembolas do exist! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springtail please remind me 3 more times also - please fund the ants directly, not the vertebrate people ; long running, on-going evidence points to the conclusion that vertebrates can’t be trusted with money

    @alexwild@mastodon.online This prompted me to a retrospective overview of my own bibliography, of which main themes look like: * Where to find beetles during harshest drought in 4 centuries *How my sampling got screwed up by 2-month long unstoppable monsoon *I tried hard to find any living beetle in this crop, but failed *How to write a species list, once beetles got intoxicated by the neighboring highway *How to write a paper about insects disappearing once they have disappeared from your site? 😆
