Lichen on a Branch
This unique lichen, with an otherworldly appearance, is commonly found on branches. Beyond its captivating beauty, lichens serve as vital bioindicators for air quality and contribute to soil formation, playing a crucial role in assessing ecosystem health.

Nature’s prosperity depends on the health of pollinators…..

To witness the settling of the humble honey bees on a tree in the backyard is a delight to understand the A, Bee, C of this sweet prosperity

Did you know? 🤔 #Lichens get their nutrients from the #air and are very vulnerable to #carbonmonoxide , #carbondioxide . They are used as #bioindicators of #air quality. Humanity faces serious problems due to high #air pollution and these organisms play a very important role.🌿🙂👩‍🔬

Hoppy #AmphibianAppreciationWeek ! Did you know amphibs are bioindicators? Their sensitivity to the environment helps monitor ecosystem health. Celebrate by eliminating pollution, protecting habitats, & ensuring safe passage across roads. #SaveTheFrogs

We are the #Molecular #Ecology and #Nematode #Research Group, enviroCORE, SETU. We work for soil health using #nematodes as #bioinsecticides and #bioindicators . Today, we had a team progress meeting, and afterwards, we cracked Easter eggs, Greek Orthodox Style! #LoveIrishResearch

🐸Amphibians are crucial in the food chain—prey for many they feast on worms and insects. Their sensitivity to environmental changes makes them bioindicators and ideal for studying tissue regeneration. Let's celebrate these incredible creatures!🌿 #promis2023 #fondzanauku #enlight

As bioindicators, butterflies provide valuable insights into the health of our environment. Their abundance can tell us a lot about the state of our ecosystems. White Butterflies

#Triclosan (TCS) is an active antimicrobial ingredient in disinfectant products. Using #cetaceans as bioindicators, we found a significant increase in marine triclosan exposure in the SCS during the #COVID -19 pandemic.

Satish Kumar is the first UC Santa Barbara COE graduate student to receive a prestigious Schmidt Science Fellow. The UCSB ECE PhD student will study if plants can serve as bioindicators to detect and mitigate global pollution engineering.ucsb.edu/news/historic-…

The wings of butterflies not only carry them through the air but also carry messages about our environment. As bioindicators, their population dynamics convey essential information. White Butterflies #ButterfliesOfHope

They, acting as bioindicators, offer crucial insights into the environmental health. Monitoring their abundance provides valuable information about the well-being of ecosystems, helping us understand and address changes in the natural world. White Butterflies #ButterfliesOfHope

Butterflies, serving as bioindicators, offer valuable information about the well-being of our environment. The number of butterflies present can reveal significant details about the condition of our ecosystems.White Butterflies #ButterfliesOfHope

Happy to host with Thomae Kakouli-Duarte a session on #nematode bioindicators at #ESN2024 . Thanks colleagues for such interesting topics!

Dragonflies are important to their environments both as predators (particularly of mosquitos) and as prey to birds and fish. Because these insects require stable oxygen levels and clean water, scientists consider them reliable bioindicators of the
