My first PhD paper out now in @RSocPublishing ! Our meta-analysis shows that the impact of urbanization on avian health depends on the health metric, life stage and level of urbanization. Thanks to everyone who was involved in this study.

In just ONE DAY our talented volunteers made it to 1557 observations! Drawing 1557 iguanas might be a bit much, so here's just one to say THANK YOU to those who've helped us so far and encourage even more to join in over at: 🦎🏝️🦎bit.ly/iguanafromabove_zooni…🦎🏝️🦎

After struggling so much to get good sequenceable DNA from seaweeds - we did some digging and found some cool results!

I had fun preparing my #ArtOfScience entry for #SNESFest2024
A 1000 piece puzzle representing piecing together the upgraded Galapagos tortoise genome by using the Aldabra tortoise genome as the “image on the box”! Preprint coming soon 😉
Thanks to Eric for the illustrations

Come do a super cool PhD on trophic interactions, metagenomics and ecoacoustics with me in @ForagingEcology and @Kitson_James @DarrenMarkEvans @CollinsLarissa and @abr_eco!🕸️🧬🔊
Applications due by 7th February! 🥳🕷️🪲
Are YOU looking for a PhD on invertebrate trophic interactions using DNA and acoustic methods? 🧬🔊🪲

🐢🌿 Exciting news! We conducted morphometric measurements on tortoises with original Floreana genes (Chelonoidis niger). Extinct for over 150 years, they were found on Wolf Volcano. In January 2024, we'll reintroduce them to Floreana Island, in joint efforts with the GNPD!
