Brilliant first meeting with Zoe Cole joining the Dr Alison Dunn lab at University of Leeds w/ case partner Yorkshire Water 💧. Her project will look at #Biosecurity for #InvasiveSpecies in Raw Water Transfers. Follow her for updates about this interesting work 🦐🌿💧🦀🌾

Incredibly excited to be working with Zoe Cole on her #RawWaterTransfer and #Biosecurity PhD at Yorkshire Water 💧 #cantwait #staytuned #stopthespread

Interested in #sustainability? We are looking for participants to test some ideas about how people perceive #climate change. The study will take ca. 20 mins (including watching a quick video). Please sign up here: leeds.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/climate-change… #climate

Invasive Quagga Mussel found at Rutland Water and River Trent 😬😬😬😬 #Biosecurity is key to stop any further spread. #InvasiveSpecies bbc.com/news/amp/uk-en…

Interested in how #covid19 has impacted opinions on #climate change? University of Leeds is running a survey to understand whether/how the #pandemic is shifting people’s priorities: leeds.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/attitudes-towa…

It’s #WorldWetlandsDay and we at the University of Leeds want to understand how the British public think and feel about these valuable habitats in urban areas. Take our research survey and give your perspective here: tinyurl.com/y4qyenft

Fantastic PhD opportunity in Leeds! Interesting potential for interdisciplinary research with Dr Alison Dunn (School of Biology) and Prof Graham Huggan (School of English) on extinction, invasions and parasites! More details in link! findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

My first ever lead-author paper has just been released in Scientific Reports! If you're interested in #InvasiveSpecies, and want to read about the potential impact of #Dikerogammarus villosus on UK #amphibians, then please check it out! #INNS #functionalresponse tinyurl.com/2kd5zv6u

#biologicalinvasions have much in common with outbreaks of infectious diseases and could much about how #Pandemics arise. We examine the overlap between epidemiology & invasion biology and call for interdisciplinary approaches to biosecurity academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…

It’s #INNSWeek! Here’s Rachel, our lead for #InvasiveSpecies & Alex from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - follow us on Bluesky 🦋 to tell us a little bit more about what invasive species are, why we should care about them & what we can all do to prevent them from spreading across #Yorkshire & further afield.

🚨 RESULTS SUMMARY 😁We have put together a short summary of the results of the online survey we conducted last year to look at paddler movement, cleaning & drying behaviour and perceptions of #InvasiveSpecies😁 Take a Look 👀 🐟🦐🌱 #Biosecurity to #StopTheSpread

How can we #StopTheSpread of #InvasiveSpecies? How do we clean large pieces of equipment, boats and vehicles? Take a look at this blog outlining the results of our research into the use of hot water pressurised spray for #Biosecurity 🦐🌱

Spot the stinger! Help us to understand how predators choose between harmful prey and harmless mimics in our online game, where you become the predator! theg3gm8ewo.typeform.com/to/h1RImiFS #ecology #mimicry #nature Please RT/Share

Calling all West and South #Yorkshire paddlers 📢 We're running a survey with University of Leeds, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - follow us on Bluesky 🦋 and Yorkshire Water 💧 to understand the movements and biosecurity awareness of paddlers in the region. Please RT and complete our survey ➡️ leeds.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/initial-biosec…

Will soon be advertising an exciting NERC DTP #phd opportunity (Leeds) using remote underwater videos for #crayfish conservation and IAS monitoring, with @PaulStebbing and APEM Limited as CASE partners tldr: underwater submarines to hunt crayfish in the Dales Please share!

Here's the full project - fully funded PhD with potential of becoming a CASE project with the NERC Panorama DTP. Come use remote controlled submarines to find #crayfish in beautiful rivers with me panorama-dtp.ac.uk/research/crayc… #AcademicChatter #phdchat #invasionsci

CALLING ALL ANGLERS, PADDLERS & BOATERS IN S&W YORKSHIRE!!! We are running an online survey alongside University of Leeds & Yorkshire Water 💧 to better understand the movement and biosecurity practices of the respective groups. Please follow the link here - leeds.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/initial-biosec…
