Great to speak to so many growers, agronomists and seed producers about #PCN resistance and tolerance today. Key message: PCN resistance works extremely well and tolerance ≠ resistance!

I've signed the petition demanding urgent action to stop the #climatecrisis now? Will you add your name? https://t.co/hZhLD92ib7

Great to see SASA’s #aphid data used to examine the effects of environmental change https://t.co/jReM4pT7hf

[Rothamsted Research @Rothamsted]

The first in-depth analysis into the seasonal timing of bird and insect behaviours confirms that spring is indeed getting earlier each year. Exactly how much earlier depends on where in the UK and in which habitat they occur.

It has been years in the making (not quite half a century), but do take a look at our latest open access paper on UK phenology in GCB - it is a cracker https://t.co/74vf7didBQ @_BTO @savebutterflies @CEHScienceNews @insectchris @SteveThackeray
