New #OpenAccess work by Dr Morwenna Mckenzie Kate Mathers et al. reports on phenotypic plasticity of a Baetid #mayfly larvae (#Baetis rhodani) at sites with high levels of deposited fine sediment: doi.org/10.1111/een.13… #AquaticInvertebrates #Ephemeroptera Loughborough Geography and Environment Wiley Ecology & Evolution

Some exciting news! Kate Mathers, Paul Wood, and I have an CENTA rep placement for an undergraduate to observe the ecological recovery of macroinvertebrate communities in agricultural sediment ponds with Loughborough Geography and Environment. For more info see the link: centa.ac.uk/centa-research…

A busy week! Back in #Hereford sampling #sediment #ponds to look at their #ecological importance for #macroinvertebrates. Find of the day goes to these 6 smooth newts which were released back into the pond. Just shows sediment ponds are ecological valuable.

Brilliant week planning exciting fine sediment & invert experiments for next year at Fondazione Edmund Mach fersina flumes for #UKRIFLF #flumefriday Also managed to recharge my alpine batteries! 🇮🇹😀

Last call to apply for a CENTA Research Placement with me, Kate Mathers & Paul Wood. It will involve sampling #sediment #ponds & to see invertebrate recovery after sedimentation. Deadline is 21st May - contact me on [email protected] or apply here centa.ac.uk/centa-research…

Finishing round 2 of macroinvertebrate ID from Kate Mathers flume experiments means some fun bugs in the Loughborough Geography and Environment Ecology Lab! 🪲🦐

A great time presenting at #2024SFS showcasing my work on the ecological responses to river restoration in the UK. Thank you to SFS Students Freshwater Science for allowing me to share my work with your members #rivers #restoration #ecology #freshwater

Awesome to present my PhD research on #sediment #ponds and their #biodiversity value within an #agricultural landscape #sfs24 Freshwater Science. If anyone missed or have an additional questions come find me or drop me a message! 🪲

🚨Funded PhD Oct Start🚨 📣Resilient dunes: determining the impacts of winter flooding variability on coastal dune wetland plant communities using remote sensing. Working at the Ainsdale Dunes Living Lab to understand how to manage wetland nature recovery. Details 👇🏽👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏾👇🏿

Deadline this Friday!

The aftermath of huge sediment pollution events in the R. Glaven (N. Norfolk) in winter is a mass smothering of its gravels & banks making if look estuarine. Environment Agency must ensure compensation from VolkerFitzpatrick for major errors. Not sure river can recover. Heartbreaking.

Narrow clawed crayfish invasions are likely to spread across most of Europe but some range contractions in areas experiencing high future temps. Lovely paper led bh MSc student/incoming @ScienceLeeds PhD James Hodson, with Simone Guareschi & Tomasso link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper alert. Going to the archives: Combining palaeoecological and contemporary data to support river restoration appraisals Thanks to James White for leading this and all co-authors Kate Mathers freshwaterflows Molly Bridger, Paul Wood and Emma seddon onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

It’s challenging to share good news in the current global context. We’ve published an open-access manuscript in BioScience, the journal of the American Institute of Biological Sciences (American Institute of Biological Sciences). academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…

Super challenging and rewarding experience working with Simone Guareschi et al on this piece!! Really nice to see this finally out there. Superb work Simone in bringing all the disparate thoughts together! 💪
