Ecologist dabbling in molecular methods.
My second publication from my PhD looking at using a molecular diagnostic method (which I developed for my first paper found here:
doi.org/10.1111/afe....
) to look for the main parasitoid of the oak processionary, an invasive pest of oak trees, to help inform conservation biocontrol strategies!

Hi everyone, I am launching a community science scheme "Spider Spies" where we are asking you, to send us pictures and if you're keen and able samples of Misumena vatia, the Flower Crab Spider to investigate their interactions with their host flowers and the invertebrate community around them.
