🚨 New paper out!
We used agent-based models + GPS & GIS to track how land-use change drives wildlife-farm encounters & disease risk.

Amazing find while surveying the Phoenix park this morning.
A significant population of hand sized Poecilotheria regalis Tarantulas living happily in numerous trees and walls around the park! How they arrived and adapted to our climate is the big question... Scarfs, perhaps?

it’s perhaps the most challenging site in Wlicklow to grow trees
