#Whoop4wasps! @ionace @UCLCBER cheerleading for wasps @BBCRadio4 @BBCPM 23’10”. [Cold/wet spring=poor nest survival] + [few insect prey] -> bad yr for wasps 🥺It matters: wasps are apex predators & pollinators. #WaspLove bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0021q…
Very happy to have my first author credit on a peer-reviewed paper (open-access) from my time at @SussexLifeSci, in the great @Ecol_Ent!
I collected data for this project led by Oliver Visick over two years in @LasiBee: doi.org/10.1111/een.13361
