Fantastic hike on Mount Kenya today. Feeling lucky to be here with great people @StuBearhop Daniela Farina Kirsty Marsh @BrendanGodley

Excited to share a new paper w/ @KevinDKohl published today in PNASNews! The gut microbiome influences host diet selection behavior: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We used microbiome transplants from wild donors to show that gut bacteria can influence dietary choices in mice!🐭🦠🧠

Thanks Holly English, beat me to it! Glad to see this one out, and thanks again to all involved!

Looking forward to a whole month of goosing around!

Just minutes before it was mown, the left was as biodiverse and vibrant as the right. 🐝🦋🌸☘️🌿🌾 Why are University of Exeter, Cornwall not standing by their own supposed principles? This is a university that declared an environment and climate emergency in 2019.

Thanks to all of the catching team this week for your great work! 97 new ringed geese to take 💩from and to add to our social networks!

Thrilled to see the first official paper from Wild Microbiome Lab published in PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment Here we model the dynamics of gut-associated bacterial communities at the individual level in light-bellied Brent geese, and link them to diet and habitat use. peerj.com/articles/16682/

Is a healthy microbiome one that is rich in phages? Excited to share this work with ⁦Britt Koskella⁩ & ⁦Dominique Holtappels⁩ where we apply ecological theory on the role of parasites in ecosystems & test viromes as signatures of microbiome health 🦠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hosted the University of Exeter Microbiology Seminar Series Wild Microbiome Lab lab group takeover today! Fantastic to hear about all the research being carried out by the PI Xav Harrison, Postdoc Kirsty Marsh & MbyRes student Rebecca Saxton…frogs, turtles and goose microbiome galore!

Our paper on non-invasive epigenetic age prediction in Skokholm Island wild house mice is now out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

📢We are excited to announce that our latest call for research exchanges is open!📢 We will provide up to €1400 for travel & accommodation for ECRs visiting groups with complementary research interests. Deadline May 26th 2024. For more info see wamestn.com/research-excha…

Birthday present to myself- PhD thesis submitted today! Big shoutout to Xav Harrison Wild Microbiome Lab 🐸!

Even though lab and wild mice harbour drastically distinct gut microbiotas in many ways, several patterns of early-life microbiota assembly are common across these two systems. Read more in our new paper below @AuraRaulo Sarah CL Knowles nature.com/articles/s4200…

We're at BES 2024 in Liverpool! Double-whammy of talks by Xav Harrison and Natasha Hammond followed by a poster by Kirsty Marsh. What a day
