Changes in parasite virulence are commonly expected to lead to trade-offs in other life history traits that can affect fitness. Understanding these trade-offs is particularly important if we want to...

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 exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/a…. More on the group at sites.exeter.ac.uk/wilson-gr… Pls RTWT

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 🐝
Many thanks to the team involved in this study.

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 🦋
Dr Heather Campbell-Miles@scienceheather6 Sep 2023
If you're at #Ento23 and looking for some quiet time then I highly recommend some hammock time in the walled garden (baby not included!). It's a lovely little spot on campus.

A beautiful evening in the good company of fellow entomologists and enthusiasts. Thank you to all who joined us last night, it was a joy to exchange ideas and share stories with everyone - May the buzz of the conversation continue on through the last day of #Ento23! 🦋

🔺Our @itvnews investigation into RAAC in schools back in MARCH was alarming, and parents were understandably worried. They were right to be. Many will be asking why the DfE waited until now, and days before the start of a new term, to announce schools with it should close?
