Really excited to share that my first lead-author PhD paper is now published! 🐝

“Lasting impacts of sublethal prepupal heatwaves on fertility-related traits of the solitary bee Osmia bicornis”

As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, our findings suggest that even sublethal temperatures may have important consequences for pollinators

Feels especially timely after #WorldBeeDay and with very warm weather forecast in the UK ☀️

@JoshCole2504 Looks very cool! Hope you’re enjoying Australia and the fungi work over there

My phone’s best attempt at capturing some arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi down the lens… might need to get the camera out but it still looks amazing to me 😅

[Jamie Smith @Jamiesmithbio]

@Darron_Cullen Thoroughly enjoyed the seminar!
