A little further afield from our UK focus, but this looks fascinating!

Check out our Excellent Earthworms Project blog to find out about our research with @FSCBioLinks and Mission Invertebrate on the impacts of humans on earthworm populations in London parks. #earthworms #richmondpark earthwormsoc.org.uk/ExcellentEarth…

I’m looking for collaborators who can share data suitable for modelling #soil #biodiversity in horticultural systems as part of EXCALIBUR. See poster for criteria & email me for details, all contributors will be offered co-authorship of the database. Please RT & share!

Great opportunity to get to grips with Slug identification with excellent tutor Dr. Imogen Cavadino this weekend:

Great stuff!

So this looks fairly exciting!

My two cents for the daily harvestmen for #Arachtober 2021. The weird Hernandaria scabricula Sørensen, 1884, from El Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This species exhibit an interesting soil crypsis as camouflage. #Opiliones

That’s spectacular!

If you dig 2 holes in a field, you can find earthworms in the soil from 1 hole but not the other. What controls the distribution of earthworms has remained a poorly understood question since the time of Darwin?

Over the last 7 months I’ve been working p/t as a copy editor and proof-reader for the GSP, part of FAO/UN. I’m looking for extra editing work, at mo, so if any biologist or organisation needs experienced editing of scientific papers, articles, websites etc, please drop me a line

New website is finally coming together. Spiders, harvestman, mites and pseudoscorpions done. Springtails in progress. Just a couple of small groups - insects, myriapods, isopods and 'more' left to do 😅 Hoping to make it available in some form by the end of the year...🤞

Afgelopen vrijdag weer even bovenop de steigers van de Eusebiuskerk mogen kijken. Ondertussen zijn op de eerste luchtboog de nieuwe beelden geplaatst. Zoals je ziet is er veel bladgoud gebruikt en allemaal voorzichtig handwerk. 👍 #Arnhem #bewoners6811 Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed

The deadline for booking for our Annual Field Meeting (21-24 April) is approaching. Based at Preston Montford, Shropshire, it's a great opportunity to join us looking for woodlice, centipedes, millipedes & other wildlife. No experience required. Book now! bmig.org.uk/announce/annua…

I'm not sure what this #Pauropod is doing, but it hasn't moved a muscle for a day now. It could be dying but it's not curled up and dried up like dead pauropods, it's just standing there. Very strange... #soilbiodiversity #mesofauna

Did you miss yesterday's webinar on "Soil Biodiversity in the City" with Loren Byrne, Katalin Szlavecz, Jess Davies, and @FungusCrous? Watch it here👇 youtube.com/watch?v=C9KK8H…

It's getting to that time of year dactylochelifer latreilli are perticulerly active on sand dunes. The best way to look for this speices is to gently part marram grass and watch the bare sand for movement. You could also find some scare dune spiders and insects! Can you spot it?
