We are delighted to share our work on the influence of diet and the impact of the invasive greater white-toothed shrew on Ireland's pygmy shrew population! This was a massive component of my PhD with @ShrewGod 1/n

We all know the effects of grey squirrels on red squirrels, but have you ever thought about the effects that people have on red squirrels?

Always enjoyable to talk science with @jerosullivanRK .Nice to talk with him about a different part of my research, wildlife as previously it has always been about viruses. All about multidisciplinary science @BPSMTU ! – at Kerry, Ireland
Do you know what this little critter is? Well, find out on Kerry Today with @jerosullivanRK this morning when @PeterdStuart of @MTU_ie Kerry will reveal all. This animal only arrived in Ireland in the 1920s with the construction of the Ardnacrusha dam!

Our most recent publication on the #genetics of #crocodiles is out! Here we use SNPs to show that populations in the region of #Calakmul in #Mexico are rather unafected by hybridization, despite being surrounded by areas where admixture has previously been documented. #SciComm

The recent PhD review suggested that govt. funded PhD stipends are increased to 25K from September.
Despite contacting the SFI and IRC multiple times, we've been met with radio silence.

Chuffed this chapter from my PhD is finally online!! 🙌😃🐜
Our meta-analysis quantifies the effect of non-native ants on local animal community diversity in multiple locations globally. Spoiler alert: non-native ants are PRETTY BAD 🧵 1/6
