Not very seasonal, but I finally got round to making a map of UK train stations + walkable campsites. Shows campsites that are <3km from stations (i.e. basically next door), and 10-20km away (i.e. very roughly a day's walk). Useful? felt.com/map/Rail-Hike-…

The paper from Rosace et al. 'Including climate change in pest risk assessment: Current practices and perspectives for future implementation' is now Open Access in the EPPO Bulletin. It provides detailed guidance for those considering this new challenge. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

The recovery/phenotyping process of #Puccinia graminis aecidiospores from #Berberis leaves on a set of wild grasses & cultivated cereals has just started @INRAE_Bioger 🤗. This aims to provide info on the potential primary host (and f. sp.) and collect isolates in uredinial form.

No country in the world has recorded as many lightning strikes as Spain in recent days.
