Our upriver vulture research expedition to Saruja was very successful. We caught ringed tagged and sampled 9 White-backed Vultures and 51 Hooded Vultures.

Been really a really great policy training week with @OneZooCDT so far! Very cool to see behind the curtain and learn about how #OneHealth values are being embedded into government strategies. @DefraGovUK

"For more than a year now, the north-east coast has been suffering mass deaths of marine life. It started last October, with crustaceans particularly badly affected, & local lobster & crab fishers reporting a 95% decline in their catch."

Two Sepia officinalis cuttlebones. They reveal two different stories about stress during their life. The black growth lines reveal stress during that moment. The snallest individual present less black growth increments, but a very thick one as an early subadult: something...

@IsabelByrne big fan of your continuing frog era

[Fiona Mathews @MathewsFiona]

Most small mammals, weasels and stoats all in decline. Our new research points to a major problem in British ecosystems. You REALLY don't want to lose the tiny cogs that make everything else function.(c)J Phillips @mammalsociety @UK_CEH @SussexUni https://t.co/prfrH64TCi

New paper! A technical workflow for characterising #Anophelesfunestus larval habitats with #drones and larval sampling in Cote d'Ivoire

We hope this acts as a useful guide for researchers interested in integrating drones into vector data collection🚁🦟🗺️
