Always a pleasure to see our brilliant and smiling doctoral researchers getting together and presenting their work to the lborogeog community @lborouniversity.bsky.social. Here a few photos also of the posters of our GYE Master students, who joined in for the DR Day.

It's Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) Week & the start of my PhD fieldwork!

I've been sampling reservoirs & their in/out-flowing waterbodies for the role of connectivity in facilitating range expansion in man-made lotic waterbodies 🏞️

Found some super fun invertebrates & my first crayfish! 🦞

🐚 First paper! 🐚

So excited to see this work from my MSc dissertation published!

We show:
🐚Greater ingestion of anthropogenic than ‘natural’ fibres
🐚Presence and age of biofilm significantly affected fibre ingestion
🐚More fibres were retained in the short- than long-term
