Granville Fritillary butterflies show flexibility in response to human induced climate change. Will be interesting to see the if these mechanisms for change help them respond to extremes in the years to come. Thanks for the seminar @Marjo__S! @UoABioSci #SBSseminarUoa

I am now a fan of slime moulds! After a fascinating seminar by @Docteur_Drey on how they can problem solve and communicate with each other. They are so smart! @UoABioSci #SBSseminarUoa

We will need all the tools in the toolbox to improve agricultural productivity enough to support the growing human population. Thanks Tina for today’s seminar! #SBSseminarUoA @UoABioSci

[Lily Parfitt Steel @biologicalily]

A great talk from @JulianLittle4Ag about the influence the right communication can have on the perception of science for the #SBSseminarUoA series. Excited to talk to him more about his work 🧃@UoABioSci

Peat bogs are underrated! Acting as carbon sinks and home to diverse communities. But degraded bogs do not recover well. Roxane Andersen gave a great seminar about her work to conserve and restore these bogs. #sbsseminarUoA @UoABioSci

Very exciting to hear from Guntar Subbaro all the way from Japan this afternoon! His seminar explained how biological nitrification inhibitors have potential to increase food security and crop yield - a clean green revolution!🌾 #SBSseminarUoA @UoABioSci

Grateful for the nice words from my honours project supervisors! @Helenecologist @ecologylou

One of the best bits of my job is supervising students like @biologicalily and watching them develop into researchers in their own right, whilst embracing the journey in more ways than one!

[Dr Helen Anderson @Helenecologist]

Some great results coming out from Lily's project on the tree mallow seedbank on Craigleith - watch this space for more updates early next year! @UoABioSci @biologicalily @ecologylou @SeabirdCentre

NEW BLOG📢

Thanks to @biologicalily for the excellent new blog
'Seeds of Hope' about her seed bank research on Craigleith & how it could support our SOS Puffin #conservation work to manage tree mallow on the island.

Thanks to @biologicalily for this month’s SBS blog on 'Seeds of hope; assessing an island's seed bank to aid puffin conservation'. Read about her trip to Craigleith here https://t.co/Vf36JAc7F0

[Dr Helen Anderson @Helenecologist]

Great blog by Lily Parfitt explaining why she's looking for tree mallow seeds on Craigleith and how it'll help puffin conservation on this small but fascinating island. @SeabirdCentre @biologicalily @ecologylou @UoABioSci

Looking forward to todays seminar by Gareth Arnott after hearing him talk about his academic journey earlier today! His seminar on animal contests should be a good one 😁 @UoABioSci #SBSseminarUoA

[Lily Parfitt Steel @biologicalily]

Thanks so much for the fascinating seminar @ke_marshall! Interesting links between thermal tolerance and withstanding #climatechange #SBSseminarUoA
