Dr Elsa Field

Excited to share our new Meta-Analysis Paper ✨ Tree Species Mixtures Lower Pathogen Damage in Temperate Forests🌲 Read Now ⬇️ @KorichevaLab @oxplantecology @Forest_Research sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our new meta-analysis led by @elsa_field shows that tree diversity reduces pathogen damage in temperate forests 🌲🌳 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Massive congratulations to both Drs @Chris_R_Woodham and @elsa_field!

#Biodiveristy matters! Our new paper demonstrates that #tree species richness and diversity predicts the magnitude of urban heat island mitigation effects of #greenspaces. @catzigle @SRILeeds @SEELeeds authors.elsevier.com/c/1cTyPB8ccqpiJ

New research on oak processionary moth from @INRAE_NA_BDX supports the view that mixed forests are more resistant to specialist pest insects than pure stands: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/af…

@BCastagneyrol @DamestoyT @KorichevaLab @xMoreira2 sooo cute 😍😍😍

Modeling #tree #biodiversity and associational resistance to #herbivores... When locked in the kitchen (left = monoculture, right = mixture) @KorichevaLab @DamestoyT @xMoreira2 (it also works for social distancing)

Our new study out in @JEcology investigates drought-diversity effects on tree pests and pathogens 😍 Tree diversity lowers pest damage, but not under drought conditions, hmmm.....🧐 #TreeDivNet #ORPHEE

Nice new study by @elsa_field, @BCastagneyrol et al. shows that associational resistance to both insect and pathogen damage in mixed forests is modulated by tree neighbour identity and drought @JEcology besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

When you finally produce the graph you've been waiting the entire 4 years of your #PhD to be able to produce, the feeling is just so good! I definitely deserve #pancakes today #PancakeDay #PancakeDay2020 #phdlife #metaanalysis

Hi all, we are still looking for scientists with interest in #Herbivory and #Predation in #Oaks to participate in our #TreeBodyguards #CitizenScience project in Belgium, Italy, Austria, Scotland and Norway. get in touch with me :)

@jerome_zoran @PaulOMahony @DeepSoulConnect Love it!💖💝

Having mega fun and #geekingout on the awesome #rethinkandgrowrich course in #London with the inspirational @PaulOMahony. Learning, growing and expanding into 2020! #womaninbizhour #livingmybestlife

I was quite taken by this beautiful little Stigmella tityrella mine in a beech leaf this weekend. The 'green island' is caused by the caterpillar delaying senescence by manipulating cytokinin levels, probably with the assistance of symbiotic bacteria!

First chapter of my thesis got published, hoorah! How do tree identity and diversity influence oak pest and pathogen damage? Read on to find out .... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

New paper with @DanBebber @GurrLabExeter testing a global distribution model of crop pests and pathogens. Very grateful to @BS_PP for the undergrad vacation bursary which enabled my fieldwork in China! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Biotic interactions in novel forests : @ElenaValds2 tells us how it works in this very new paper. Congratulations Elena and colleagues @Ubiogeco sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@alienbaird @PowderyM ah that looks very likely! pretty sure it's on hazel :)

Any fungal minded folks know which fungus this is? It's rather amazing. Growing on decaying hazel coppice in E Somerset @PowderyM ?? #fungi #mycology
