Lydia Thompson

PhD student at @ucdagfood studying impacts of agri-environmental schemes on bumblebees 🐝

[Dara Stanley @DaraStanley]

Today's @ucdagfood Pests, Parasites and Beneficials lecture was an insight into ongoing research on insects and agriculture... from @LydiaBThompson on agri-environment schemes to @jenniedurant on IPM. Here's @moffat_aisling reciting a poem about soil biodiversity! Thanks all

@evomics Hello, I just wanted to check because the website says the deadline for Population and Speciation Genomics is the 13th? Are they both the 18th or just the Genomics workshop?

Today was one of those fieldwork days that reminds me why I love what I do. Not as many samples as we'd hoped, but beautiful high-quality grasslands in stunning locations! And of course @LydiaBThompson for great company! #academiclife @GYB_Project @LIFEonMachair

We are looking forward to supporting @LydiaBThompson with this research into the Great Yellow Bumblebee.

[Great Yellow Bumblebee Project @GYB_Project]

@GYB_Project really looking forward to working with @LydiaBThompson on this exciting project to learn more about our rare great yellow bumblebee

[Dara Stanley @DaraStanley]

First day of fieldwork training for @LydiaBThompson complete! Lydia will be working with @GYB_Project to look at population genetics for the Great Yellow Bumblebee as well as effectiveness of conservation measures. Working with @KarinaEcology, @aliialex_ and @julia_c_jones

[Dara Stanley @DaraStanley]

Delighted to be working with @LydiaBThompson for the next four years on her @IrishResearch funded PhD on protecting rare and common bumblebees on Irish farmland at @ucdagfood @UCDEarth, in collaboration with @maher_steph. Welcome Lydia!
