Do you want to see wildlife enhanced through development? Our consultation proposes that new developments should deliver a biodiversity net gain for the environment, helping wildlife thrive while delivering homes the country needs. #Biodiversity #NetGain https://t.co/D0ZwCH4X6q

New paper from us highlights how ratios of birds to people change across urban areas - songbirds disproportionately scarce in parts that are socioeconomically more deprived. https://t.co/2zbGS2S5nq

Taught some amazing Year 10 students about invertebrate decomposers today. Here's their poster all about it!! #outreach #science #superproud @UniofExeterESI @BeesatExeter @UniExeCornwall

[Uni of Exeter's ESI @UniofExeterESI]

Today we waved farewell to the ESI RIB: "Jonathan Couch", which has been bought by @turntostarboard - a fantastic charity using sail training to support Armed Forces personnel affected by military operations.

[Exeter Penryn UCU Students @ExePenrynUCU]

Amazing showing of support at our final #UCUstrike picket. It was great to see the @FXUtweet, Redruth & Falmouth CLPs, lots of students, and huge numbers of staff out to defend pensions. It's been a great time fighting alongside staff over the last few weeks, but it's not over!

Extremely excited to discover today that I will be working as part of @UniofExeterESI BEEHAVE computer model for my MSc research project https://t.co/PPqd9kFPzY

[Beth Roberts @Beth_Roberts13]

Interesting talk on the relationship between policy and academia. Academias don't understand what parliament is and how to engage, and aren't good at giving succinct and understandable evidence quickly @d_christianrose #EAB2017

[Farmers Of The UK @FarmersOfTheUK]

We plant bird & pollinator mixes across our land parcels. We've recently taken part in a project by @UniofExeterESI who've developed a computer model 'BEEHAVE' that can predict bee colony numbers & bee populations based on farmers considered crop choices and locations. @Ec0l0gy

Tips for capturing #bumblebee flight
1. Very fast shutter speed 1/2000 since wings beat 500X per sec
2. Bee & flower in same focal plane
3. Hand held DSLR, 60 or 100mm #macro lens f9-11
