A great end for the #SBSseminarUoA @UoABioSci! @UKLadybirds introduced us to invasive species, their dispersing mechanisms and how scientists can inform management actions to protect endemic biodiversity! All the while showing us great photos of UK overseas territories 🐞

Today in the #SBSseminarUoA @UoABioSci great talk by Frans deVries looking at how subsidies and spatial coordination between landowners can help promote environmental policies for the conservation of ecosystems and their natural services 🌳🌴🎋

@UoABioSci great talk for #SBSseminarUoA by @fish_n_bugs on Myxozoans. It's really amazing how these parasitic species diversified in order to optimally infect teleost fish 🐟. The research on these species is essential for the future of aquaculture and food security

[Andrea Carolina Pedrazzini @AndreMarBioDive]

#SBSseminarUoA always keeps things interesting: this week's seminar on clades diversification in time and space stressed the importance of modelling when studying phylogenies and it also demonstrates how tree shapes can be a useful parameter to consider!!! 🌲@UoABioSci

[Andrea Carolina Pedrazzini @AndreMarBioDive]

Great talk on the importance of communication of science during the #SBSseminarUoA by @JulianLittle4Ag. Great points were discussed that must be considered when engaging in scientific talks: "simple" science, visual engagement and BEWARE of scapegoats !!!🐐🐐🐐

Great #SBSseminarUoA with Julia Kleinteich presenting results on the increasing pressure in river ecosystems in Germany. Results include a reduced limitation of primary production from P and the interactions between cyanobacteria and parasitic chytrid fungi 🦠🍄

#SBSseminarUoA Following my interview with Professor Sam Martin 🐠🐡🐟 amazing research on aquaculture and fish nutrition is being carried out at @UoABioSci. Preliminary studies on multi-trophic systems and offshore aquaculture are also being conducted in Scotland!!!

[Andrea Carolina Pedrazzini @AndreMarBioDive]

What a start of the semester with #SBSseminarUoA. Prof Sam Martin of @UoABioSci gave a great overview of the challenges of aquaculture focusing on the research carried on by Abdn Uni 🐟🐟🐟 I'll have the privilege of interviewing him next week... update coming soon ...

Glad I’m taking the course #SBSseminarUoA. Today’s seminar on Florida panthers 🐆 and the conservation effort to avoid the extinction of this population was illuminating 💡It’s not always easy to put forward conservation plans but glad this worked out … for now.

Ready for a new @UoABioSci #SBSseminarUoA on the light and dark side of the force.... but with marine bivalve-algal photosymbiosis in light gradients!!!

[Andrea Carolina Pedrazzini @AndreMarBioDive]

Looking forward to today's @UoABioSci #SBSseminarUoA "Microbes mediate ecosystem responses to climate change: examples from the tundra to the tropics" by @BonnieGWaring !!!

[Andrea Carolina Pedrazzini @AndreMarBioDive]

Really fascinating seminar @UoABioSci #SBSseminarUoA on contest behaviours in animals. One question that comes to mind is how vessel noise impacts contest behaviour in all coastal and pelagic species? Something to think about in relation to the soundscape of Anthropocene!

[Andrea Carolina Pedrazzini @AndreMarBioDive]

Excited for today #SBSseminarUoA with Gareth Arnott on animal contests... ready to learn something new 💪🏻 @UoABioSci

Drunken Trees: Dramatic Signs of Climate Change https://t.co/jHvLsK7yef via @NatGeo Another major impact of global warming at higher latitude!

[Andrea Carolina Pedrazzini @AndreMarBioDive]

@ke_marshall Exciting seminar on the biochemistry behind the plasticity of invertebrates to low temperatures and its link to geographical ranges... quite crucial with the problem of climate change!!! #SBSseminarUoA Will definitely read some articles on this!
