I am excited to share that @hannahmcgx.bsky.social's first PhD chapter (with @amydeacon.bsky.social and Francesco Santi) on how oil pollution influences male guppy ornamentation just got published in @ecol-evol.bsky.social @rhulbiology.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Excited to share our new paper, led by Brazilian collaborators, on male coloration of guppies in response to urban pollution: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @rhulbiology.bsky.social

Big congratulations @rsmehlhausenfranks.bsky.social on passing your viva today with minor corrections. It’s been a pleasure supervising you. Thank you to the examiners @rjpheathcote.bsky.social and @markjfbrown.bsky.social! And thank you Paul Devlin and @evolecollab.bsky.social for your help too!

It was a fun day indeed and great to hear what everyone is working on or thinking about :)

Such an amazing honour for an amazing person and colleague!

📣 Excited to advertise a new @treesdla.bsky.social CASE PhD project exploring the effects of forest diversity on soil fauna with ecoacoustics. Supervised by me, @evolecollab.bsky.social and Carlos Abrahams @soilacoustics.bsky.social. Apply by December 17th! 🌳🌲🐜🎧🎤 www.trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/nov...

Applications for PhD Studentships with @treesdla.bsky.social now open for 2026 intake. @kratina.bsky.social and I offer a PhD project on trophic ecology of invasive mosquitofish in Italy, France, and Spain (www.trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/tro...). Please get in touch if you are interested.

Congratulations to Dr Walter Lucchesi and Dr Becky Thomas (@beckythomas.bsky.social) who have been awarded Senior Fellowship of @advancehe.bsky.social (formerly the Higher Education Academy). This reflects their leadership in education both within and beyond @rhulbiology.bsky.social 🎉👏

One of @rhulbiology.bsky.social UG students, Alice, attended @britishecologicalsociety.org summer school this year and shared these lovely phots. She befriended many like-minded ecologists, networked with people from different environmental sectors, and studied a wide range of topics & organisms

First of the two @rhulbiology.bsky.social presentations at today's @ceevol.bsky.social Autumn Symposium is by @hannahmcgx.bsky.social who presents her PhD work on effects of oil pollution on guppy colouration

Our 3rd year students are having great time at Borneo fieldcourse expedition setting camera traps, doing behavioural observations and participating in tree planting for the Regrow Borneo project

Great post from our alumna Izzy Frey reflecting on her own journey from receiving unexpected #ALevelResults to her current job as an ecologist at Tetra Tech and why studying biology @royalholloway.bsky.social ended up the best decision she ever made www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

I recently wrote about a cool new paper by another research group on Antarctic leopard seal communication for The Conversation; it was fun to focus on some #bioacoustics again for a change. 😃 theconversation.com/antarctic-le...

Congrats to Danny Hodgson on successful PhD viva today! On the left is Danny with her supervisors after viva and on the right Danny is shown working at home during COVID lockdown in a specially constructed desktop clean room to prevent sample contamination. Incredible resilience and determination!

@evolecollab.bsky.social lab cleaned up at the RHUL biology PGR symposium 🐟💪 best MSc talk (Ella) + runner up (Rebecca) and best PhD poster (yours truly)😎

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
