Great seminar by Hans de Kroon from @Radboud_Uni
He took us from the depressing lost of insects🪳🐞🦟🦗 to the hopeful restoration of corridors working hand on hand 🤝with farmers 👩🌾👨🌾

Please RT: Funded PhD with me @UniRdg_SAPD now open for applications. Addressing the challenge of combined heat and drought stress for cereal production. Closing 0930 8th Feb. See research.reading.ac.uk/foodb…
ALT CASE funded PhD via the FoodBioSystems DTP now open for applications. Join us in new research to predict the effects of combined heat and drought on crop yield and use this understanding to identify novel compounds that confer drought tolerance and avoid increased risk of heat stress. Deadline for applications 0930 8th February. Based at University of Reading working with Aberystwyth University and Syngenta.

Interesting...agri-env schemes lead to greater farm income stability, whilst direct payments lead to less stability. Implications for #ELM

Great collaboration with @jakecologist - it is open access and the proper pdf version is coming on its way - the supply by Jake is pretty awesome. #metaanalysis (check out some cool orchard plot! - initially proposed here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…)

PhD on sustainable pest control in field crops open to applications now @QUBelfast + @UniRdg_SAPD. Quantitative and fieldwork. Please RT @bes_aeg @TechFoodNetwork @BES_careers @AABiologists
PhD: Parasitoid wasps can provide effective pest control in glasshouses. Efficacy in field crops is variable and unpredictable. We want to understand why they succeed or fail in control of pests + help overcome barriers to their use in field crops research.reading.ac.uk/foodb…

New paper: estimated economic benefit of pollination varies between faba bean varieties, how yield is measured, and experimental setup. We need to consider these sources of variation to better predict impact of pollinator loss and/or benefits of management doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-5…
