Was an honour to talk this morning to known apiphile @Marthakearney on my first Today programme appearance-always a worry when colleagues such as @Elva_Robinson have already set such a high bar with their appearances-fortunately I got away without too many difficult questions!

"At the dimmest level of white light we used, which is roughly equivalent to street lighting, just 70% of males found the green LED. This dropped to 21% at the brightest light levels ... the lighting used to illuminate monuments in town squares and parks." bit.ly/43GqzyZ

Light pollution is taking the sparkle out of glow-worm mating

Artificial light is making it harder for male glow-worms to find bioluminescent females.

So happy to announce that shortly after my first first-author article, my second one is now also out! It was great to work with such an amazing team @InsectNav journals.biologists.com/bio/…

An ethogram identifies behavioural markers of attention to humans in European herring gulls (Larus...

Summary: Urbanised herring gulls successfully benefit from anthropogenic food sources. We show that human food-centred behaviours directly modulate the attentional states of such gulls.

It takes dialogue to resolve disputes - spot on from @sussexucu and @SussexUni Another university and UCU branch joint statement calling for negotiations to reopen. Students want it. UCU members want it. Even some of the bosses want it. Wake up UCEA⏰ sussex.ac.uk/broadcast/read/…

Joint Statement by UCU Sussex Executive Committee and the Vice-Chancellor

We jointly want this dispute to be resolved as quickly as possible and for students to have their work marked by their tutors on time
