New paper finally up on the pre-print server, we didn't find SARS-CoV-2 in wild mustelids and voles... but did find some other coronaviruses (bat results in another manuscript also Sars negative) lots of work by @a_ternenge

Many thanks to @spodoptera007 and everyone else involved in making this paper possible! 😁

So pleased that the second paper from my PhD is now published! We show that the prevalence of microbial natural enemies of Fall Armyworm are affected by time, weather and geographic features 🐛🦠🌦⛰️🗓

Journal of Animal Ecology@AnimalEcology

New work from @AmyJaneWithers et al. highlights the importance of temporal and geographic factors in understanding the distribution of microbial natural enemies. doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

So pleased to have passed my PhD viva today! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped me get here, and to my examiners Steve Sait and @andywwilby for an interesting discussion! 😁

Fall armyworm, the crop pest responsible for billions of dollars of damage, has formed a 'super-population' across Africa, according to new genetic study from our @AmyJaneWithers Implications for evolution of insecticide resistance. @ENVISIONDTP rothamsted.ac.uk/news/major-ins…

English

Amy@AmyJaneWithers·21 Eki

This population structure analysis using microsatellites revealed that fall armyworm are likely to be moving across the continent following prevailing wind patterns, leading to the frequent genetic mixing of populations.

English

Amy@AmyJaneWithers·21 Eki

To overcome this, we used highly variable repeat regions of DNA called microsatellites. These showed greater levels of genetic diversity present in invasive fall armyworm, and population structure analysis showed fall armyworm grouped into three distinct genetic clusters.

The first paper of my PhD has been published today in @SciReports! 🎉 We use microsatellites to show that fall armyworm populations are frequently mixing across Africa. 🧬🦋 Read the full paper open access here nature.com/articles/s4159… @spodoptera007 @ENVISIONDTP @LancsUniLEC

@belrice I saw one at Brockholes Nature Reserve before, but only the once out of many visits there so it might not be the most reliable spot! 🤣

Lancashire people, I want to see a kingfisher, any location tips?
