We are now part of a £1.5 million Species Recovery Programme funded by Natural England to support the recovery of the Endangered white-clawed crayfish. Our project will be part of a multi-pronged programme of scientific research into crayfish genetics, plague-resistance, pathogens and biobanking.

Crayfish burrows are not just homes for crayfish. 🦞 Vulnerable species like the Hine’s emerald dragonfly and the crawfish frog depend on them for shelter, water, and survival. Protecting crayfish means protecting an entire ecosystem beneath our feet. #CrayWeek #Crayfish #HinesEmerald

Marbled #crayfish showed up in Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 in 2023 - second population in North America - and only in the last couple of months has this been shared in the scientific literature. The problem of delay between detection and reporting worries me. doi.org/10.3391/bir....

We found a sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, almost a meter in length, in the Guadalquivir River (S Spain), where the species was deemed extinct The stretch may offer conditions for reproduction (extensive sand beds, permanent waters), but nothing is known about it. @ebdonana.bsky.social (1/5)

After 4+ years of work, our article on Austropotamobius is out! We traced their 30-million-year journey across Europe, discovered hidden lineages, and finally solved some long-standing evolutionary puzzles. The key highlight? A. bihariensis from the Apuseni Mts: a small crayfish with a big story.

The Taxonomic Distinctiveness Hypothesis (Ricciardi & Atkinson 2004) predicts that invaders with no relatives in an area will have the largest ecological impacts. We found evidence of this for various aquatic systems. It is also supported by terrestrial studies. Eco-evolutionary context matters!

At #EOU2025 @eounion.bsky.social conference next week, we'll show new evidence implicating forestry in declines of British Marsh Tits during the era of woodland conversion in 1950/60s-1980s. This was period of steepest decline in Marsh Tits. Why? What was going on back then? #ornithology 1/5

A single orange Queen butterfly sits dead center of the photo, sitting on a single outstretched flower at an angle from another series of stems that run mostly the opposite way diagonally.   Background is blurry greens, yellows, and whites with a hint of a white fence.  Photo is very grainy.
