Vole time! Up bright and early with our @SussexUni students surveying small mammals on campus. Did you know that almost all Britian's small mammals are declining? We need to make space for #wildlife. 🐾 @SussexLifeSci@Mammal_Society
My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share
There has also been a 10% increase in areas suitable for P. falciparum malaria and a 17% increase for P. vivax suitable areas since the 1960s. #2023EBE
COP28 is starting today. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, considering all the controversy surrounding it before it has even started! #COP28#2023EBE
A worrying paper aligning climate scenarios with the national greenhouse gas inventories suggests the benchmarks for climate change mitigation are even harder to achieve than originally suggested #2023EBE

I had the pleasure of attending a great seminar by @ElliLeadbeater1 today! Providing some great insight into the cognitive abilities of bees, particularly their memory and foraging abilities! Was very interesting! #2023EBE#conservation#nature#bees
I got to hear an incredible talk by the @plantpollinator today! Touching on floral colour and scent influence on pollination and how these are phenotypically linked to other traits in various Orchid species! 🪻🐝 #conservation#environment#2023EBE
Great talk this week from Jan Van Deventer about the conservation efforts on Fire Island! I was particularly fascinated by how they balance the interests of conservation work and the local community! 🔥🐠🦜 #2023EBE#conservation#wildlife#nature
(1/2) Attenborough's Long-beaked Echidna (known in the local Tepera language as ‘Payangko’) has been rediscovered in the Cyclops Mountains. It was one of the most wanted lost species in the world & had been lost to science for 62 years. #SearchforLostSpecies
Great study on how interacting stressors influence bumblebee health, and how we need to look at combining stressors for future risk assessments! #2023EBE

One of the benefits of discovering a new species is the opportunity to name it, and many scientists have taken inspiration from popular culture. These are a few of our favourites.

Interesting study of the relationship between seasonal patterns of ants and environmental change, and how this is an area for further research! #2023EBE
