A huge thank you to our friends @WILDLABSNET for highlighting our bumblebee acoustics research 🐝🎧 We look forward to sharing more about how we use bee buzzes in bee conservation on Wildlabs.net 🥳 #tech4wildlife

Alixandra Prybyla, a PhD student and Darwin Trust Scholar at @EdinburghUni, will work with the @EdiBeeBrigade to train models to monitor bumblebees in acoustic data, identifying species-diagnostic signatures in a continuous stream of real-time sounds.
With the temperature set to soar across the UK we are asking you all to offer some shallow bowls of water for hedgehogs and other wildlife - pop in a few pebbles to ensure insects can escape. Please share! 🎥 Paul Bunyard
Did you know that only 24 of the ~270 known bee species in the UK are #bumblebees? The majority are solitary bees: each female has her own nest. You can still find solitary bees, like Andrena dentiulata and a Lasioglossum sp., foraging side-by-side with eusocial bumblebees!#PhD
Got to be a member of the @EdiBeeBrigade today! 🐝 Best way to enjoy a sunny Scottish summer day is to play #BingoBees at @TheBotanics. Great to see #CitizenScience at work! Follow @EdiBeeBrigade for more information on their research and future events
Our article on the emerging technologies for insect monitoring and -ecology is online now in @Trends_Ecol_Evo. We cover the state of the art for computer vision, radar, acoustics and barcoding for use in entomology. of course #openAccess sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Local to #Edinburgh and want to get involved with a family-friendly #citizenscience project? Join us at @TheBotanics' Demonstration Garden on Sunday, July 10th from 12PM - 4PM for a game of #BingoBees 🎲 Play bingo by finding our tagged bumblebees, gather data, & win prizes 🐝
What does an acoustic survey look like? 🎧 For our #PhD #research, it involves a specialized microphone to pick up low-frequency #bumblebee buzzes, two netters to catch the 🐝s, and a cooler to bring our 🐝s to torpor for handling/measurements! #PollinatorWeek #AcademicTwitter
Would you believe these #bumblebees were the same species? Yellow 73 (left) exhibits Bombus hypnorum's common ginger morph. Yellow 74 (right) is much darker--almost black! She is a great example of a melanistic/melanic morph 🐝 We 🧡🖤 🤍 phenotypic variation.
Happy #PrideMonth from White 37, and from the allies/members of the #LGBTQIA community here in the #EdinburghBumblebeeBrigade 🌈✨
We are buzzing with excitement: our research group #logo is ready to be shared! Thank you for the beautiful art @PerrinRGrant 🐝🌱 Can you identify who these stylised #bees are based on their banding? #WomenInSTEM #bumblebees #conservation
This mustachioed fellow is just one of many Bombus pratorum males that have emerged in the past few weeks at @drneilsgardener and @TheBotanics. The #EarlyBumblebee is a great example of sexual dimorphism: only the males have yellow facial fuzz. Welcome to the world, Red 2! 🐝🔴
Two of our research assistants have received grants to perform genetics-focused experiments!🧬 @PerrinRGrant is 1 of 3 recipients of the @SBSatEd IEB Summer Studentship, and Jack was awarded a #GeneticsSociety Summer Studentship with a workshop at @UniofOxford. We are so proud!🥳
I learned a little about the numbered bees at @TheBotanics today, but I shall give away no spoilers as the Bumblebee Brigade (students studying the bees) are coming to Twitter. Watch this space! #BotanicsBeeBingo #CitizenScience #WorldBeeDay2022 #WorldBeeDay
Happy #WorldBeeDay from Green 34, the most industrious Bombus lapidarius worker we've seen while surveying in @TheBotanics! Check out those pollen baskets 👀 She's doing her part to maintain bumblebee population health--will you? 🌼

1/5 new paper: BUMBLEBEE BIOGEOGRAPHY (map of species richness) conserves deep historical patterns precisely because bbs are poor at dispersing & establishing over seas/deserts, so species don’t occur everywhere they could - but seas/deserts come & go bit.ly/3wkl6iz

Scotland - looking wonderful here. Young trees, mature trees and dead trees. Closed canopy, open areas and moor. This is a landscape where grazing pressure has been matched to the carrying capacity of the land. #RewildScotland #BigPicture
One of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had! So grateful to learn from such genius humans & meet dedicated, awesome quantitative ecologists. @cv4ecology taught me SO much, so excited to continue with the models & skills I’ve learned for #bioacoustics & #lemur conservation!

How it started vs. how it ended 😅🧡 so grateful for this experience @cv4ecology and getting to know everyone involved.
Super exciting work by Alixandra Prybyla from @EdiBeeBrigade on using bioacoustics for bee species identification. Has been so much fun to work with Alix during the @cv4ecology summer school !
@EdiBeeBrigade classified bumblebees from their audio! She learned the pros and cons of using open-source code for CV models, and constructed #BeeNet using a custom ResNet18 Architecture with pre-trained image-net images and a cross-entropy loss 🐝👏
Rowan Converse detected ducks, cranes, and geese from drone imagery 🦆🦢🦤. She used #crowsourced @the_zooniverse labels and used the DeepForest codebase model pre-trained on @ben_weinstein’s #BirdDetector
