🚨NEW PAPER!🚨
Networking nutrients: How nutrition determines the structure of ecological networks
We provide a synthesis on the interface between nutritional and network ecology and demonstrate its potential for ecological research.
Read more below!🧵

ALT A few images of hypothetical nutritional networks in which different parts are labelled to show how different ecological phenomena might influence them.
Check out this editorial for an overview of a truly exciting special issue of @AFEntomology focused on advances in insect biomonitoring for agriculture and forestry!
In an editorial, we summarise the articles within the special issue and provide a synthesis on the overarching themes and concepts, which include the various emerging technologies underpinning significant advances, alongside more conceptual ideas.

A fantastic project using some excellent techniques to answer some really important questions about pond biodiversity with a fabulous team! 🤩
🚨 !!PhD opportunity!! 🚨
Ponds are often overlooked, but are super important. We need to better understand their contribution to freshwater biodiversity and how to support them!
Come work with a great team @Daniel_Read @lynseyrharper @JordanCuff

Join us for this super cool PhD on ground beetle foraging ecology!
🚨PHD OPPORTUNITY!🚨
Join us in Newcastle University to assess carabid beetle ecosystem services and foraging ecology, and develop new methods for inferring interactions between beetles and their food! 🪲🍽️💻

Check out this article about our latest paper on spider foraging and nutrition, published recently in @Oikos_Journal! 🕷️🍽️🕸️🧬 doi.org/10.1111/oik.10712
Along came a spider🕷️ ...and very carefully chose what to eat. Seems the picky arachnids only plump for tasty prey 🪲🪰 that match their nutritional needs. Could we use this fussy eating to help control pests? @JordanCuff @ForagingEcology
