Maintaining understory vegetation in oil palm plantations supports higher assassin bug numbers - goo.gl/scholar/p4mv6f #ScholarAlerts

Another paper that I was involved with that got published a few months back showing the importance of maintaining understory vegetation in palm oil agriculture. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @uputramalaysia

New publication from @BEFTAprogramme @InsectGroup on understory vegetation management in oil palm plantations and its impact on assassin bug populations. dx.doi.org/10.1002/2688-8… @CamZoology @AER_ESE_BES

Super pleased to be an author on this new paper authors.elsevier.com/a/1bej%7E57Eq0…… by @MillieSCHood. Looking at how vegetation management practises affect ants in oil palm plantations. Free download for the next 45 days- authors.elsevier.com/a/1bej%7E57Eq0…… @InsectGroup @CamZoology @BEFTAprogramme

Really pleased to share the latest results from my PhD in #BasicandAppliedEcology which shows some current #oilpalm management practices are better for #ants than others authors.elsevier.com/a/1bej%7E57Eq0… @InsectGroup @CamZoology @ZoologyMuseum (1/5)

The #ESSTA project is working in partnership with local collaborators and smallholders in Peninsula Malaysia, to research how management decisions impact ecological communities, functions and crop yield. 👩🏻‍🌾🌴🦋

Five wood ant nests in Westerham. These are too close to be separate colonies; more likely an example of polydomy, multiple satellite nest heaps around the main centre.

The @InsectGroup are launching the Ecological and Social studies in Smallholder Tropical Agriculture (ESSTA) project. This project will be linked closely to the @BEFTAprogramme and will explore ecological, social and interdisciplinary dynamics within oil palm smallholdings.#ESSTA

@MillieSCHood Just seen this. That is beautiful! Thanks for thinking of me. I think I actually sent them some of these slugs. 😃

@_JakeStone_ some slug lovin for you

A paper that I was involved with before starting my PhD, looking at a parasitoid wasp species discovery and implications for future pest control made the front cover of the May edition (Volume 168, Issue 5) of Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata. doi.org/10.1111/eea.12…

Scientists discover world's tallest tropical tree! @BBCNews coverage with our Oxford team member @ashenkin - 3D scans and drone flights confirm the record! #biodiversity #ecosystems #tallesttree @ecioxford @ymalhi bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Fancy doing a PhD on the role of vertebrates in restoration of mining sites in tropical forests? With me, @mattstruebig, and Prof Zoe Davies? @DICE_Kent. More info including eligibility here: goo.gl/e2mQjx

Beautiful and globally rare saproxylic beetle new to Britain. Great to collaborate with the discoverer @Danasawus who also took this beautiful image at @NHM_London researchgate.net/publication/32…
