@JordanCuff et al. propose the need for year-round monitoring of biocontrol interactions to enhance our understanding of predator-pest dynamics, but this will demand various methodological innovations and considerations, for which they provide guidance.

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

Read about our latest paper in @Oikos_Journal in this great article from @Rothamsted! 🕷️🧬🕸️🍽️ 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
