@ZacGoldsmith @BethRigby @tracey_crouch @JGray This should not be hard. By voting against, you can 1) reject a deal you find appalling; 2) stand up for ardent Leave constituents and colleagues who want WTO; 3) respect the wishes of 70% of your constituents, who voted Remain in 2016 and largely want A50 delayed then revoked.

@evisher @Julie_B92 @paleoblais https://t.co/S2dvM3WRq7, https://t.co/ExHd1iCIkm, https://t.co/XSHYa31oD5. We've made a start, at least! Lots more to do.

The bdelloid rotifers are a notorious anomaly: an entire class of animals that have no sex. It had been thought they swapped genes in a different way: “horizontal gene transfer” like bacteria. It now turns out this may have been mistaken. Puzzle remains.

Frequency of exposure to Bd zoospores affects infection rate in addition to number encountered. Implications for wild transmission. #BESSfe

David Daversa: causes of habitat heterogeneity in newt infection by the hard-to-tweet chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (bd). #BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Increased host species evenness, more Bartonella transmission via greater abundance of fleas. More mice, fewer rats = more fleas. #BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Alan Harrison: Does biodiversity buffer or increase disease risk, looking at Bartonella in wild Madagascar small mammals. #BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Path analysis shows no clear overall predicted order for parasite community assembly. Details of infection site/mode/immunity matter.#BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Lots of strongly nonrandom nested associations among multiple parasites in mice. Does this reflect a sequential order of infection? #BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Evelyn Rynkiewicz: co-infection of wild wood mice by multiple gut and blood parasites. How predictable and nested are associations? #BESSfe

Powerpoint tip: no need to put date, meeting name & town on every slide. We know where we are, we'd rather your data/text be bigger! #BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Anne Robertson: record winter rainfall in 2014 in the UK. How did this affect soil groundwater microbial / meiofauna communities? #bessfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Male sheep seem to trade off increased weight (which is linked to reproductive success) against certain immune markers. #BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Rebecca Watson: testing for fitness consequences of immune investment in an intensively studied wild system, Soay sheep. #BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Sarah Gray: testing hypotheses on food chain length in protist communities from pitcher plants. Experimentally tractable & replicable#BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Owen Jones: evolution of senescence! My favorite topic after the evolution of sex. Same major figures, e.g. WDHamilton, GCWilliams #BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

@GrrlScientist Some ways scientists use social media: counteract hype, point out weak science...#arseniclife for example #BESSfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Great tits vs avian malaria: reciprocal transplant to test local adaptation. 2 sites used. 3-way test would be harder but stronger. #bessfe

[Chris Wilson @Cgwils8]

Tania Jenkins: we need more studies of coevolutionary dynamics in medically important parasites, e.g. malaria, not just inverts. #bessfe
