Our Leverhulme funded egg project starts next week, in collaboration with James Bowen at the Open University and the egg collection at the Natural History Museum Tring. We’re delighted to welcome postdoc Marie Attard to the lab group and to Royal Holloway (and thank you Leverhulme).
Absolutely thrilled/shocked to have been awarded the Bicentenary Medal by the Linnean Society of London. Endless thanks to everyone I’ve worked with over the years, and those that have supported and guided me, and huge thanks to whomever took the time to nominate me.
A great day at the Hawk Conservancy sorting summer projects – lots of loggers and flight work to come.
Great to have our paper accepted in Ecology and Evolution, about how wild geese respond to “supermoon” events. This was data collected back in 2000, and randomly decided to look back over it. Looking at heart rate and body temperature, the geese respond quite dramatically to “supermoon” events, providing the sky is clear and not cloudy! More to follow when the paper is published.
Good Lab evening out to wave off Molly and Steph into field.
PhD students Sam, Dan, Jenny, Steph and Jack did an excellent job of presenting their work at this years RHUL symposium.
Thrilled to have our paper accepted in PLOS Biology. Huge Congratulations to PhD Lucy Taylor on all the efforts with the work. All about costs of flocking in birds. More to follow once the paper is out.
