Amazing talk by @FrithaWest this morning at #IUFRO2024 around the subject of elm restoration in UK. A very interesting subject and insightful viewpoint 🌳 #pathology #restoration

Had a lovely weekend bat conference in Sweden, and presented my latest research! Tack för att ni lyssnade 🦇🦇🦇

Xenia is assessing how the latest monitoring techniques can be used to track progress against @WelshGovernment targets for trees and woodlands in Wales #RoyalWelshShow #FRatRWS #NationalForestWales https://t.co/qz1wDmPRex

It’s Forestry Day @RoyalWelshShow. Find out about our research on tree pests and diseases #RoyalWelshShow #FRatRWS #NationalForestWales https://t.co/ZrSFbWk3la

[Forest Research @Forest_Research]

With support from @WelshGovernment we're setting up spore & insect traps to understand what tree pests & diseases are in Wales #RoyalWelshShow #FRatRWS #NationalForestWales https://t.co/AP9A2WSSVV

@georgiaireIandx Congratulations!🎈🎈🎈

We are still looking for more participants for our study into how #insects benefit (or not) from #mimicry. The experiment takes around 5 minutes to complete and we’d really appreciate any time you could spare! https://t.co/nj7xFL0ITD #ecology #nature Please RT/Share

@zoologist_flora Congratulations!!🎉🦇🎉

[Flora the Zoologist @zoologist_flora]

We wrote a paper!! Want to know about anti-fungal immune responses (starring white-nose disease!), and how hibernation comes into it? Free access for 48 days, so get it while it’s hot! 🦇🦇🦇

Hi, my name is Flora (she/her) and I’m taking part in the #GlobalScienceShow
Today I’ll be discussing bats, and a bit about what makes them so cool! Make sure to check out all the posts from today, especially @SarahBatBradley‘s fab video (bat bias!) 🦇🦇

[Flora the Zoologist @zoologist_flora]

Bats and diseases have a bad reputation at the moment, but they’re really interesting: bats have an incredible ability to survive diseases – they can live normally with diseases that other mammals can get very sick from. How do they manage this?

[Flora the Zoologist @zoologist_flora]

Now that you know a bit more about bats, why not go out and spot some? Bats in the UK have come out of hibernation, and can be spotted flitting about at dusk, most often arounds trees and over lakes – get batty! 🦇🦇🦇

This is why I love ringing! On a walk along Scapa beach (Orkney) I was sadly faced with 60+ washed up auks. I was delighted to find a ringed Razor, ringed on the 4th July 1997 by the Treshnish Isles Auk Ringing Group on Lunga. That's nearly 24 years later! @_BTO #seabirds #Orkney

@MacrolensMn @BumblebeeTrust @Britnatureguide @Lancswildlife @NatureUK I like them, they're really striking!
