Loads of great projects available on our MRes programme next year www1.chester.ac.uk/study/pos… . My projects are here: mattgeary.github.io/MRes/
Get in touch if you have any questions, or your own ideas.

Great way to combine your daily exercise with some valuable #CitizenScience in #Chester, and also a lovely reminder to just slow down and enjoy the world around you! 🌿🌳🐜🪲🐌🕷️🐦🪱🦆🐀🌼

Please get involved with this if you visit the #CountessPark! It will really be helping out scientific research & the creation of an amazing habitat!
Well, it's been quite a year...we've had fieldwork interrupted, labs closed, projects put on hold and a huge amount of upheaval in our personal and working lives. But, despite all this, we've a lot to be proud of this year... 1/7
We've more manuscripts on the way from some more of our PhD researchers, including @gernome, @AlexTLancaster and one of our @MMU_CEB exiles, @MZatrak, plus new PhD research starting in the New year with @raptor_jimmi, what's not to like? 7/8
A new blog from Susie Phillips about her MRes research investigating inbreeding in a rare amphibian is up on our website: chesterconsbio.group/2020/12… You can read the full paper here: doi.org/10.33256/hj30.3.1591…

Really excited to hear @popgenchen give her seminar about tracking short-term evolution in a pedigreed wild population to @BioSciChester @ChesterConsBio next week. DM me for the link if you'd like to watch too!

Out in Early View today, paper with @achazhardenberg. Distribution of White-faced darter - a declining dragonfly species. Thanks to @BDSdragonflies and @ScotlandBds for all their help.
White‐faced darter distribution is associated with coniferous forests in Great Britain onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Well done to Susie Phillips on our new paper with @CheshireWT @ARC_Bytes that finds evidence of inbreeding in reintroduced populations of a protected amphibian and supports further management actions to ensure survival. With @lovethedove11 @Rachjb27 @MattGeary
Just published today by Phillips et al. as Open Access in The Herpetological Journal "The importance of long-term genetic monitoring of reintroduced populations: inbreeding in the natterjack toad (Epidalea calamita)"
