Community science time! What predator prey interactions did you see during the great caddisfly hatch of #JASM22?

Happy #WorldBiodiversityDay! The caddisfly Rhyacophila vulgaris is one important part of the invertebrate community in our freshwaters. Amongst others, they help cleaning our waters. #savebiodiversity #freshwaterbiodiversity

[#Entomologist] Description of 2 #newspecies of Oecetis (Trichoptera, Leptoceridae) from Borneo ⬇️ 🔗 DOI: doi.org/10.5852/ejt.20… ✒️ Kjell Arne Johanson, Tobias Malm & Tin Sjöberg from Naturhist.riksmuseet #Leptoceridae #caddisflies #caddisfly #trichoptera #Entomology #taxonomy

Time to start looking out for caddis flies. I’m looking forward to seeing this one on the shelf - new Aidgap guide due soon FSC Publications #insects #caddis

It has been an excellent experience at #caddis22! Come find me if you would like a Caddisfly Collective sticker!

Now Kelly Murray-Stoker on her awesome community science project, The Caddisfly Collective, which is aimed at assessing the effects of urbanization on caddisfly assemblages. #caddis22 #teamcaddisfly bravo

Astrid Schmidt-Kloiber Kelly Murray-Stoker I’ve been using their method here and it’s great! We should talk about developing a European project!

That was the 17th International Symposium on Trichoptera. It was a busy, but fun week! Thanks to paul frandsen Kelly Murray-Stoker isabella errigo Sajad H. Parey MUSE - multiple stressors in freshwater Marina Veseli and all the others for your valuable contributions!

Remember that epic hatch of caddisflies at #JASM22 in Grand Rapids? It was dense (12.6 caddisflies per square m) and a common species (H. morosa) was doing some weird mating stuff. We wrote it up - read more here! Angelika L Kurthen aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo…

Read it and spread it! We have to reach the point that freshwaters are finally recognised as the third realm/biome next to terrestrial environments and the oceans! #freshwaterlove

Love to see it!!

Cover page of our new book. This will be the first book on Indian Trichoptera covering one massive Family Rhycophilidae. Publishing it with Jenny Stanford Publishing, Singapore. Congratulations Tabarak Ali for taking lead in this work. Manpreet Singh Pandher

I am not good with all these "International Days of...", but today's one really matters to me. On #WorldBiodiversityDay let's look at these tiny freshwater creatures, often overlooked, but very beautiful (and also important for our wellbeing, e.g. #selfpurification)!

On biodiversity day, here is a snippet from an in-prep manuscript showcasing the diversity of the extended phenotypes of my favorite group of organisms, caddisflies. #teamcaddisfly

Thank you of course to our wonderful participants that made our methods so successful!
