📢 I am advertising a PhD project on using #citizenscience as a tool for enhancing human-nature connectedness & pro-environmental behaviour. Collaboration w/ @Earthwatch_Eur #TinyForest programme. Short deadline - Oct 26th, January 2025 start. Email me! https://t.co/YTLjjmyc84

Check out our new paper. We found that walking dogs off the lead greatly increases habitat disturbance in UK lowland heathlands @SarahKPapworth @BaobabJ @RHULBioSci @_RHResearch https://t.co/AwTmyd098C

📢 One week left to apply for this fully funded PhD project @RHULBioSci with me, @BeckyMicrocebus and @DBHayhow @Earthwatch_Eur. Cool project on tritrophic interactions in urban forests involving the use of #CitizenScience 🌳🐛🐦 #TinyForest https://t.co/3cUMpYYbYl

[Becky Thomas @BeckyMicrocebus]

Best way to start the day! Small mammal trapping in the sunshine with @RHULBioSci students on our Practical Field Ecology module. 7 wood mice caught and couldn’t resist taking a pic of one of our many bee orchids on my way to start the lecture! #LivingCampus

📢Are you looking for an ecology/zoology PhD project and do you love 🌳, 🐛,🐜,🐦 and citizen science? Then this might be a project for you! Exciting opportunity to work with me, @BeckyMicrocebus and @Earthwatch_Eur on #TinyForest research programme. https://t.co/3cUMpYYbYl

[RHUL Biology @RHULBioSci]

Great opportunity to join our department as a Teaching Fellow in Vertebrate Biology and Ecology to teach modules in Animal Physiology, Marine Ecology and Conservation Science to BSc students. Closing date - April 22nd 2024 https://t.co/CeJFfcrGx8

Our first event is Sunday 21st Jan and is focusing on mammal and winter tree ID. If you’re a @RoyalHolloway student or @RHULBioSoc member then get in touch for a discount code.
All money generated will be donated to the local recording groups.

[Becky Thomas @BeckyMicrocebus]

@RHULBioSci have teamed up with @SurreyWT + @RHULBioSoc + loads of amazing local wildlife recording groups, to run ‘Wild Recorders’.
A series of training events to help people develop their species identification and recording skills. More info here: https://t.co/swj3zmtuZM

That time of the year again when trees @RoyalHolloway campus are teeming with plasticine caterpillars. Something tells me predation experiments by @BeckyMicrocebus ecology class are underway 😉 🐛 🐦

[Julia Koricheva @KorichevaLab]

If you are a current @London_NERC_DTP student choosing a PhD project or you are planning to apply to this DTP for next year's entry, have a look at projects I offer @RHULBioSci in collaboration with @KratinaLab and @wakehurst_kew

@KorichevaLab @RoyalHolloway They have been spotted quite a bit this year, from people and the birds and mammals! The students have definitely been enjoying this set of practicals though 🐛 🌳

[Becky Thomas @BeckyMicrocebus]

@MajaIlicZg @KorichevaLab Yes! In the first part, they compare red and green caterpillar predation, and in part 2 they develop their own hypothesis. Some groups are testing predation of caterpillars on native vs non-native trees and others are looking at caterpillar size (and many other questions!).

Did a little recce of Staines Moor ahead of @RHULBioSci field ecology practical with @BeckyMicrocebus next week. Everything is clad in yellow (buttercups and flag irises) and white (hawthorn) apart from yellow meadow ant mounds, which stand out in red (sorrel). Beautiful!

Such excitement with the workshops at our Youth Action for Nature event with @SurreyWT today. Lots of joy at finding newts, sowing wildlife seeds and creating blue hearts despite the rain! @RHULBioSci
