My first PhD paper out now in @RSocPublishing ! Our meta-analysis shows that the impact of urbanization on avian health depends on the health metric, life stage and level of urbanization. Thanks to everyone who was involved in this study.

In just ONE DAY our talented volunteers made it to 1557 observations! Drawing 1557 iguanas might be a bit much, so here's just one to say THANK YOU to those who've helped us so far and encourage even more to join in over at: 🦎🏝️🦎https://t.co/nlW5J39gLJ🦎🏝️🦎

After struggling so much to get good sequenceable DNA from seaweeds - we did some digging and found some cool results!

I had fun preparing my #ArtOfScience entry for #SNESFest2024
A 1000 piece puzzle representing piecing together the upgraded Galapagos tortoise genome by using the Aldabra tortoise genome as the “image on the box”! Preprint coming soon 😉
Thanks to Eric for the illustrations

Lots of exciting wildlife sightings at RSPB Lochwinnoch over April including Black Tailed Godwit and Little Ringed Plover. Read my latest blog post to learn more about recent sightings! @RSPBLochwinnoch @RSPBScotland 🦢🦆🐦‍⬛

I had a fantastic time presenting my PhD research at #bou2024! It was great to see so many interesting talks about urban birds!

[Newcastle University @UniofNewcastle]

Recognising the varied engagement practice undertaken by researchers in the early stages of their research careers we're pleased to announce our nominees for the Early Career Researcher Award - @research_steph @PriestRJ @petermalmond & Rachel Gray 👏

Lovely day with @rachel___gray at the @LinneanSociety meeting Perspectives on Speciation! So many interesting talks, I learned a lot.

Our project was presented successfully at this great conference! Drones and citizen science for marine iguanas✨🦎 Student Conference on Conservation Science #SCCS24

[Ecology Group, Newcastle University @ecology_ncl]

Great presentations from @rachel___gray @Sarah_O_Griffin @LuciaYllan @BasemAttarPP at the @Sage_NCL PGR conference today! Well done everyone 🥳

[Evelyn Jensen, PhD @Evie_Jensen]

Really appreciate that @Aisling_Irwin wrote this great piece about how #museomics can help conservation! Featuring a diversity of cases (not just tortoises!)

[Jordan Cuff 🕸️🧬🕷️ @JordanCuff]

Come do a super cool PhD on trophic interactions, metagenomics and ecoacoustics with me in @ForagingEcology and @Kitson_James @DarrenMarkEvans @CollinsLarissa and @abr_eco!🕸️🧬🔊

Applications due by 7th February! 🥳🕷️🪲

[Galápagos Conservancy @savegalapagos]

🐢🌿 Exciting news! We conducted morphometric measurements on tortoises with original Floreana genes (Chelonoidis niger). Extinct for over 150 years, they were found on Wolf Volcano. In January 2024, we'll reintroduce them to Floreana Island, in joint efforts with the GNPD!

Had a lovely holiday tea with the lab! These are the folks that make doing science fun 🤩
