My collaborator @anthonydn is looking for a PhD student to work on CrustNet in 2025. This is an awesome opportunity for students interested in ecology, globally distributed experiments, and soils. Go to anthony.darrouzet-nardi.net/ for more information.
Good news! Bettina and her many co-authors' study received enough citations to be a #TopCitedArticle in its journal!

A new study was published by Stefan Herdy!
In this study, we explored the application of deep learning methods in image-based biomonitoring.
The publication is available under:
doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.202…
The code and the project webpage can be found here:
