Figure 1 Ursem (2026) Map of camera trap locations, with (A) the location of the Marker Wadden study area in the Netherlands; (B) a detailed overview of the studied area of the Marker Wadden, with red triangles (n = 6) indicating the sampling locations and the black arrows indicating the direction of the camera traps and the transects. The blue circle shows the position of the water level data-logger. (C) Ground image of the setup of one of the camera traps, with the transects indicated by the sticks.

Excited to share our latest research now out in @OikosJournal! 🌿
This paper leverages the anisotropy of environmental variation at habitat edges to disentangle community assembly drivers

Finished up my summer internship, so here are some of the highlights of what I found in the samples during my last week: unknown species of scale worm, unknown amphipod, and a Spionidae!

Excited to share the first article from the #Ecotron 's #Mesocosms platform! 🎉 Based on a 4+ year experiment manipulating soil macrofauna diversity in large #lysimeters under #drought. #Macrofauna matters!

Huge thanks to @UFZ_de & @CEFE_CNRS. More coming soon!

Vandaag zijn er, door de amfibieën werkgroep, #macrofauna fuiken geplaatst in onze grootste poelen om te zien wat er in deze poelen zit.
In de fuiken wordt aas (gehakt in een nylon kous) gelegd om amfibieën, vissen (als die er zijn) libellenlarven en kevers te lokken.

A great blue heron captured mid-landing with its wings outstretched, showcasing the intricate feather patterns and striking blue-gray plumage. The bird is framed against a lush, green wetland backdrop with soft light highlighting its grace and poise. This image reflects the beauty and elegance of one of North America's iconic wading birds.

Blue Heron for #BlueSkyMonday

4/7 📊 Results: Higher sedimentary carbon increased community abundance and diversity, while larger grain sizes reduced them. Community patterns reflected these relationships on multiple scales. #SedimentEcology #Macrofauna

Marléne Johansson, taxonomist at Umea Marine Sciences Centre, collecting samples.

#BiodiversityDay is coming up and we @umeaunimarine.bsky.social highlight our fantastic taxonomists! First out is Marléne Johansson, a skilled specialist in #phytoplankton and benthic #macrofauna! Her contributions to long-term time series are invaluable for environmental research!
