Please say no to garden poisons such as pesticides and weedkillers, to help keep them out of the food chain. Hedgehogs, for example, can hoover up over 100 invertebrates every night! #wildlife #gardening #nature

This is your weekly reminder to clean your bird feeders! 🧼 Practicing good hygiene when feeding garden birds is always important, but especially now as our wild birds are suffering from outbreaks of disease. Read BTO's full advice here 👉 bit.ly/3sBkxy4

We worked with ESA Journals to compile and share research and perspectives from Black Ecologists and colleagues. Please share!

@drjulie_b Just thought - some of the bigger Carrefour stores also have a decent electrical goods section that might have it. Good luck and safe travels (I'm sorry the trip isn't under better circumstances)

@drjulie_b Fnac may be an option? fr.fnac.be

The fish is using a rock as a tool to help it break open its hard-shelled prey 🔨 15 wrasse species have been observed using tools to date 🐟 Help us discover new species! Report your observation of this behavior at fishtooluse.com or contact me.

@ccjadallah @uclaseis Congratulations! So well deserved!!!

Paper out! I'm happy to share my first ever first author paper. In this paper, we describe our arbovirus (WNV/USUV/SINV) surveillance in overwintering mosquitoes in the Netherlands🦟🦠❄️ Check it out below! @OneHealthPact @OneHealthEnto sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Today is the anniversary of the United Fruit Company massacre against striking workers on the Colombian Caribbean coast in 1928. Between 1000 and 2000 banana pickers were killed in a bloodbath. The company responsible is known today as 'Chiquita.'

If you wanted to know what mine and #GriffTheBat's secret project was, here you go 😁🦇

We found that tick-borne encephalitis virus has likely been introduced on multiple, independent occasions in NL and that there are a few places in the country where the virus actively circulates in ticks and wild mice. See tinyurl.com/47wy4msb

Look closely. A little closer. That's right, you're looking at thousands of winter ticks piled up and waiting for a host! 😱 These larvae hatch out in late summer and fall, measuring only 1 mm. 📷 courtesy of Cheryl Frank Sullivan

WHAT KILLED THE CRABS? The official story is something like “a billion snow crabs disappeared.” If that sounds fishy to you, keep reading. Let’s dive into the ecology, oceanography, & geopolitical history of the Bering Sea. A science thread on crabs, corruption, & collapse: 🦀

Yesterday involved a mass tick dragging cloth wash, today a mass reassembly and repair. Teaching must be starting back up!

Today is #WorldMosquitoDay to raise awareness about the impact that mosquitoes can have on our lives and to invest in new tools and technologies to tackle vectorborne diseases. The @OneHealthEnto team works in various projects to reach these goals
