Maja moved in with us today!

How do Daphnia respond to a heatwave? Franziska Brunner tried to tease apart whether they do it via phenotypic plasticity or selection. She manipulated genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity and faked a heatwave. LEAP #BES2019

Today’s the day, check out my talk at 11:15 in meeting room 2B ! #BES2019

Good morning #BES2019 ! Sciencing is not over yet- and if you want to know what fuels population responses to repeated summer heatwaves, come see my talk at 10.45 in meeting room 2B

Man flu in field voles? 🤔 Klara Wanelik presents on sex biases in immune phenotype, infection risk and reproductive success through IgE receptor polymorphism at #BES2019 @ParasiteSIG

I’m an accountant supporting small local businesses, Brexit will really harm, I’ve done a ton of research trying to understand Brexit. Along the way I’ve discovered some circles of self interest, I would like to share some of these with you. (thread)

Parasite effects in trophic cascades- how far do they reach? Amazing use of our joint mesocosm efforts by analysis wizard Jaime !

Beautiful day to be showing the DEEB department around our smart ponds at Ness Botanic Gardens !

New doctor in the house - congratulations Dr.Drew! Georgia Drew 🎉🎊🎈let the celebrations begin 🥂

It’s a cold day to be a waterflea.....

New cross-journal Special Feature from Functional Ecology and Journal of Animal Ecology:
Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics Across Scales: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/eco-evo-dy…,

Great to see this theme issue about eco-evolutionary dynamics is now published, with journal cover photo by yours truly: a couple of endemic damselflies from South Africa (Forest malachites, Chlorolestes tesselatus). My article can be found here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
