A fantastic course in a fantastic location! Thoroughly recommend this!! (How is it 10 years since i did my MSc?!!)

Andy Young University of Exeter CEC I did this course many moons ago and it was one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences of my life. Also got into a PhD program straight out of it.

**3 year Postdoc position in Evolutionary Ecology** University of Exeter CEC How is genetic variation in disease susceptibility maintained in natural populations 🐭? Join us in beautiful Cornwall 🌊, with fieldwork in 🇸🇪🇫🇮 tinyurl.com/2s4em7by #evoeco

PhD studentship on 'The evolutionary and mechanistic basis of virus host range' - using a panel of Staphylococcus hosts and a broad host range phage, with myself and Angus Buckling. Advert here findaphd.com/phds/project/b… #PhD 📷

PhD OPPORTUNITIES! I have 2 PhD projects for competitive funding (to start Sept/Oct 2024) based at the University of Exeter at the Cornwall campus. The projects are both exploring the link between climate warming and antibiotic resistance in microbial communities. Please share!

Anyone looking for a PhD student interested in behaviour and evolution, but with an applied (welfare) twist? If so maybe you could join Christos Ioannou Erik Postma and me. Info + app at exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…. More on the group at sites.exeter.ac.uk/wilson-group/ Pls RTWT

Exciting PhD project for competitive funding (start date Sept/Oct '24), exploring how gut microbiota affect pesticide resistance in aphids! The project is based at UExeter's wonderful Cornwall campus @uniexecec in collab w Rothamsted Research: tinyurl.com/wuddbhew

In many societies (incl. humans), helpers assist with the post-natal care of the young. Pablo Capilla-Lasheras Alastair Wilson & Andy Young show that mothers in a wild cooperatively breeding #bird lay larger eggs when there's more help with nestling care #PLOSBiology plos.io/47mfAvU

Nice new thought piece by Greg Albery & colleagues on the impacts of host ageing on infectious disease dynamics

You are a PhD student in Ecology or evolutionary biology and are looking for a conference combining both science and fun? Say no more! #EMPSEB29🦅 is here for you!

Great new paper on life-history trade-offs... meta-analytical confirmation of the missing (yet much invoked) -ve genetic covariance. So in a 'resource allocation trade-off' world, standing genetic variation within pops may lie more in resource acquisition than allocation. Cool.

Cool new #cooperation paper - purple-crowned fairy-wren helpers help breeders more when they are UNrelated to the opposite-sex breeder (a potential mate). Rare evidence suggestive of direct benefits of helping. Will check our weavers! Cool stuff NikiTeunissen Anne Peters 👌
