Our second-year Zoology students got to visit the beautiful #Dartmoor this week to look for palmate newts as part of their practical methods module. Palmate newts are the smallest newt species found in the UK and are distributed throughout most of the country.

On campus, we are experimenting with reduced mowing regimes in several places, even leaving some locations to grow until late autumn. With seeds from Pollenize we have also sown some new wildflower areas to introduce a greater range of native flowering plants.

Could Tropical forests be approaching a critical high-temperature threshold? 🌳🌡️ After July 2023 was confirmed as the warmest month on record, a new study has shown the world’s tropical forest canopies may be closer to critical high-temperature thresholds than previously known.

20 yrs after my 1st paper on microplastics, the science is clear microplastics are now widely distributed across the planet, causing harm & contaminating the food we eat the water we drink & the air we breathe. It’s time to change the way we design use and dispose of plastics!
