Excuse the shaky mobile phone footage - this clip shows how they’re concentrated along the peduncles as opposed to all over the whole plant. This is also the only evening primrose plant in the whole garden thats covered in aphids, probably because it’s right by the entrance to an ant colony.

Not uncommon but great to see up close- black garden ants farming black bean aphids for their honeydew. Every flower stem on this evening primrose plant is absolutely covered in aphids being tended to by ants.

On my way to Edinburgh for #BES2025. I will be presenting my PhD research so far at the Conservation Science and Policy: Spatial Prioritisation session tomorrow at 5.30pm.

Title presentation slide showing a sloping open landscape with the title “For the many, not the few: a multi-taxa analysis of the impacts of upland land-use change” with subheading “Franky Rogers”. Logos for the University of East Anglia, RSPB and ARIES doctoral training partnership are included in the top right corner

Presumably the same account that’s changed usernames but if not, there’s another to report and block. Very strange!

Had a great time at a 6th form STEM conference last week talking to students from Folkestone and Dover grammar schools about my career path from A-Level to now!

To understand potential winners and losers of land management options, multi-taxa analysis is being conducted using biological records from the protected landscapes highlighted on the map. If you have data in these areas, please contact franky.rogers@uea.ac.uk 3/4

A washed out photograph of an upland landscape in northern England with text over it. A map on the right shows northern England, with several protected landscapes outlined. Title: “Further biological records?”
Body text: “Seeking invertebrate and plant biological records not held by NBN or Local Environmental Record Centres in the following protected landscapes:
- Forest of Bowland National Landscape,
- Lake District National Park,
- Nidderdale National Landscape,
- Northumberland National Park,
- North Pennines National Landscape,
- North York Moors National Park,
- Peak District National Park,
- Yorkshire Dales National Park.”
The footer contains logos for University of East Anglia, RSPB and ARIES DTP and text reading “please contact franky.rogers@uea.ac.uk”

This #BiodiversityAudit will collate management requirements for invertebrates and plants found in the landscape. For this, validation and autecological input is needed to capture the knowledge not found in literature. Willing to contribute? DM or ✉️ franky.rogers@uea.ac.uk 2/4

Do you have knowledge or expertise in taxonomic groups found in the UK’s uplands? I’m looking for naturalists to contribute to autecological analysis as part of a #biodiversity audit assessing impacts of land-use change across eight of northern England’s protected landscapes 1/4
