PhD researching honey bee - wild pollinator competition @bristolbiosci Memmott lab. Plant-pollinator interactions, networks, community ecology. Working in South Africa and Scotland.
A brief break from thesis writing... to spend time with brilliant undergrads in the mountains, studying alpine plant-insect interactions! Great new field course organized by @chrisleduck.bsky.social and @englishse.bsky.social, thank you ⛰️🌼🪻🦟
Our inaugural plant-insect course in the Swiss Alps delivered some beautiful views, interesting biology and, best of all, we got to know a wonderful group of students. 🪲🪷🌲🐜🦋🐝🪻
With @englishse.bsky.social , @maisiebrett.bsky.social and MRes student Harriet Foster.

Amazing new work by @willleohawkes.bsky.social on global fly migrations, congrats! Flies are a hugely important and under-appreciated group, let's give them more coverage.🪰❤️
It's published!
The largest research work I've ever undertaken:
Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant & ecologically important
Published in Biological Reviews: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Thanks so much to co-authors @koralwotton.bsky.social & Myles Menz

I thought Jamie Lornier's talk about the politics of perception of 'mess' in nature was fantastic. #BES2024 #rewilding

Excellent talk by @maisiebrett.bsky.social at #BES2024 assessing competition between honeybees & wild pollinators in Scottish heaths. Apiaries have a stronger effect on pollination networks at ‘regenerating’ sites cf ‘muirburn’ sites where sheep impact on Vaccinium spp. floral provision.
