Delighted to have my second paper on the impacts of territorial Stegastes species on coral reef ecosystems published in the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology today! Big thanks to everyone who contributed! authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Absolutely buzzing to announce that I'll be starting a PhD in behavioural ecology in October with the #killenlab @shaunkillen at @UofGlasgow @IBAHCM! It's been a tough couple of years of applications but I get to live the dream with my #1 choice! Roll on October!

Absolutely stoked to have my first paper published in @SpringerCORE! Massive thanks to my coauthors @shaunkillen @LeVinAshley3 @davemarinebio @Diya20489136 and Shashi Chumun and to my wonderful supervisor Ranjeet Bhagooli and everyone at the University of Mauritius.
Super proud of Izzy Tiddy for this honours placement project, now out @SpringerCORE! She shows territorial defence by Stegastes damselfish reduces predation on corals, possibly helps coral outplanting for rehabilitation efforts: link.springer.com/article/10… #fishsci @GlasgowUniFish

I feel like we all need some distraction just now and I like to come up with ways to make exam revision more fun so I'm going to start tweeting weird sentences I read from my study notes with the hashtags #outofcontextecology or #outofcontextevolution. Please enjoy.

Literally still don't know what format my fINAL YEAR EXAMS are going to take. Not anxious. Just. Concerned.
It’s been two weeks, can we all agree to drop the pretense that “we all” have “so much free time” now? Everyone I know is stretched to the limits of their emotional capacity and/or is dealing with an increased workload, professionally and/or domestically. What is this free time?
Lockdown sucks but on the plus side I'm better hydrated than I've ever been in my life
Day 4 of self-isolation: My partner texted me from THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BED to let me know that he wanted me to put my phone down and talk to him.

For the person in my building who sings loudly at random times of the day - I genuinely enjoy your singing and think you have a wonderful voice. I can tell that your singing makes you happy and it makes me happy too.

I have also been known to join in on occasion which I feel only slightly reduces the overall quality of singing coming from the building
I'm a final year Master's of Science student in marine and freshwater biology, red and purple belt in taekwondo and karate respectively, and most of my spare time is taken up with designing, planning, and getting tattoos, eating, and pspspsps-ing at disinterested cats #TransAND
We are so much more than just trans. Comment below with your other intersections or interests beyond being trans. 🏳️‍🌈 #TransAND 💜

I really hope y'all climate change deniers and those who ignore habitat destruction will be happy sharing your street with a damn bear
As an urban ecologist I am not surprised by this. In fact, I expect that we will see an influx of surviving wildlife into urban areas post-fires. Urban areas can provide safe habitat to wildlife, as well as predictable and reliable resources, especially food and water.

If you had to go into a battle with only the items tattooed on you, would you survive? I’ve got a sword, a crossbow, and a needle.

If anyone on my timeline is in any way pleased with the UK election result or helped to cause it, then from the bottom of my queer, trans, chronically ill, half-of-an-interracial-couple heart, FUCK YOU.

I'm raging for those in developing countries who will be hit hardest by climate change because the UK couldn't get its head out of its arse for long enough to consider the big picture and elect a government that will take the climate crisis seriously.

In short, I'm raging for every minority and working class person who was fucked over by those who couldn't get over their personal issues with Corbyn or their knee-jerk reaction to socialist policies. #fuckthisisland #NotMyPrimeMinister #IndependentScotland #notmygovernment
