Butterfly population in Britain halves in 2024.
Tony Juniper #NaturalEngland chair: 'The butterfly data is an early signal of what lies ahead.. a warning from nature as to how far we’ve gone towards taking the resilience out of natural systems.This circles back on people in terms of our food security which depends on that web of life still functioning.'

Thanks to @vicgbuswell in the audience, photographic proof that I was in Inverness last week presenting at the #UKDNAWG24 meeting - the conference programme is on ukeof.org.uk/our-work/ukdna/20 as a PDF.

The tables of in-silico primer amplification versus taxononomic lineage shown were generated with github.com/peterjc/picobio/blo and sister scripts. This was work done for a #NaturalEngland project, looking at #metabarcoding primer biases for terrestrial invertebrates - release of formal report pending.

As a scientist who wishes she had some artistic talent, I was fascinated by this report, which looks at "how historical landscape paintings, drawings and prints can support existing technologies in terms of informing us of the rate, scale and pace of coastal change."

The summary on the download page goes on to say that "The case studies and annotated art images provided in this report suggest locations where habitat management has proved to work successfully. The study also shows sites where climate change and development pressures pose existing or potential challenges."

Enjoy!
