@JoeWilliamsonDB I remembered Joe working so hard to get a really substantial data set for his Masters- its seemed a shame to hide it. Some nice microbial ecology to come!

Anyone looking for a PhD student interested in behaviour and evolution, but with an applied (welfare) twist? If so maybe you could join @C_C_Ioannou @erik_postma and me. Info + app at https://t.co/XE7hP1BDOg. More on the group at https://t.co/2aTjr99hFk Pls RTWT

#Ento23 Plenary speaker @Jaap_de_Roode presenting a talk on #Migration, #Microbes and medication in the #Monarch butterfly.

[Royal Entomological Society @RoyEntSoc]

Waggle dance recruitment seemed to increase in usage in more urban environments.

A brilliant study on #foraging efficiency in relation to individual short term memory and communication between bees. Thank you for sharing your research with us at #Ento23 @ElliLeadbeater1 🐝

[Royal Entomological Society @RoyEntSoc]

Managing #antimicrobial resistance: How do burying #beetles and microbes sustainably coexist in competition over shared resources? Research shared by Michael Jardine, University of Exeter.

[Royal Entomological Society @RoyEntSoc]

Next up is Loretta Mugo, sharing research on diet-dependent virulence effects of gut #microbiota: The symbiosis of #Enterobacter cloacae and Plutella xylostella.

A beautiful spot to relax and unwind during #Ento23, @UniExeCEC campus boasts a walled garden for you to wander at your leisure when you'd like to muse over the talks, posters and exhibitors 🦋
