We're heating up with submissions for All-Ireland Mammal Symposium 2024 (Oct 4/5 2024)! July 31st is the deadline for abstracts for talks/posters. We encourage students to submit no matter what the stage of your work, this is why we created this conference 15 years ago! sites.google.com/view/aims2024/…

Delighted to attend announcement of tranche II Projects from 2023 DAFM Thematic Research Call. Congratulations to ImeldaCaseySETUWaterford on securing funding with Teagasc and NUIG Depts of Land & Lab Science SETU Waterford AgricultureSETU (Waterford) SETU_Research SETU President

We're also interested in submissions from Irish-based researchers working on mammals outside of Ireland and similarly researchers from outside of Ireland working on mammal ecology/conservation issues that still have relevance in an Irish context (e.g. rewilding/invasive species).

We're delighted that we'll be bringing 2 PhDs to our lab in ATU Galway City as part of this large project assessing the impacts of deer in Ireland. These PhDs will focus on non-invasive genetic methods to estimate population densities and determine diet in 🦌 Adverts coming soon!

PhD Opportunity "Molecular Strategies for Mosquito Monitoring and Surveillance" Led by Dr Denise O'Meara, Dr Thomas Curran, Dr Annette Zinti and Dr Tomasz Kokurewicz, this study aims to enhance knowledge of both resident and potentially invasive mosquito species in Ireland.

PhD opportunity available led by Denise O'Meara! Project focuses on the use of molecular approaches for surveillance of native and potential invasive mosquito species in Ireland! Great collaborative team across 4 institutes. Feel free to contact if you want anymore information 🦟🧬

🔎 What happens to #wildlife during russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine? My colleague Hanna Kuzyo and I gathered content shared on X/Twitter of wildlife in war and published a letter in Conservation Science and Practice to highlight this data source: doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1… Short thread 🧵 1/4

A reminder that this Wed (July 31st) is the deadline for abstract submissions for the All-Ireland Mammal Symposium (All-Ireland Mammal Symposium 2024) being held in ATU Galway City jointly with Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway.

Should probably have a pinned tweet showing what my PhD is on! I am an IrishResearch PhD student in ATU MFRC working on the West Coast of Ireland! It's bats, bugs, habitat and herbivores I am interested in! Here is an older poster giving an overview of the plan! (1/3)
