Our recent publication quantifies the burden of Varroa treatment non-adherence on honey bee health at a national level. There is strong evidence that poor treatment adherence constitutes a major and underreported driver of large scale colony mortality. doi.org/10.1127/entomo…
It was a pleasure to open our social insect art exhibition ‘Mapping Emergence’ at Grays Wharf Gallery last week, many thanks to all the humans and bees that turned up. artsandcultureexeter.co.uk/news/mapping-e… @artsandculturex @UniofExeter @UniExeCornwall @UniofExeterESI @UniExeCEC
I’m happy to announce that a piece from our ant art project ‘Mapping Emergence’ has been awarded first place in the @UniofExeter Images of Research competition. exeter.ac.uk/research/docto… @UofE_Research @UniExeCornwall @artsandculturex
Our recent research in @CommsBio outlines VespAI, an AI system that uses deep learning to detect Asian hornets. This aims to provide an automated monitoring capability to limit hornet incursions at the invasion front. nature.com/articles/s4200…
A nice article by @BBC_Future covering our hornet research. bbc.com/future/article… @UniofExeter @UofE_Research @UniofExeterESI
I’m pleased to announce our upcoming ‘Mapping Emergence’ exhibition at the @UniofExeterESI, featuring ant art from Myrmica rubra, Lasius niger, and Formica rufa. @artsandculturex @UniExeCornwall @UniofExeter @FalmouthUni

I’m happy to announce the publication of our recent research in @CommsBio, utilising automated tracking to quantify the influence of Asian hornets on bumble bee colonies. nature.com/articles/s4200…
I’m excited to see some initial results from our new project ‘Mapping Emergence’, in which we attempt to make art with ants. This work is co-funded by @UniExeCornwall, @FalmouthUni, @UniofExeterESI, and @artsandculturex.
I enjoyed speaking about hornets at the bumble bee working group last week, hosted by the University of Oxford and @morethanadodo.
@TOSheaWheller starts our featured ESI academic of the month series, with an #esiStateOftheArt talk on 30 January “Decoding the Superorganism: From Collective Cognition to #ArtificialIntelligence” exeter.ac.uk/esi/people/fea… More about his research this whole month. Watch this space!
In collaboration with @FeraScience, I recently secured a BDI-funded project to investigate the role of Varroa treatment adherence in honey bee health. We aim to examine the interface between acaricide treatment compliance and colony epidemiological outcomes at a national scale.
A fun weekend talking about hornets at @BrisBotanicGdn's Bee and Pollination Festival.
I enjoyed being interviewed recently for the PolliNation podcast to discuss our research into Varroa-resistant bees. extension.oregonstate.edu/podcast/pollin… @oregonbeeproj @OregonStateExt
I'm looking forward to speaking about social insects and AI at @UniExeterIDSAI's Data Science Week, hosted at the @UniofExeterESI. Full details: bit.ly/3xmhyfv
In Calgary to talk about bees and ants at @ABCbeekeepers and @uLethbridge.
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 ESI and @UniExeCEC Research Fellow @TOSheaWheller gave a talk about breeding #varroa resistant #bees at the @TheSUFalExe BeeSoc last weekend. 📷Maria Giulia
Science has run some nice coverage summarising our research findings. science.org/content/articl… @USDA @UniofExeter @UofE_Research @UniofExeterESI @LSU
A new breed of #honey #bees provides a major advance in the global fight against the parasitic #Varroa mite, new research shows. The invasive mite has been the prime threat to honey bees since its initial expansion 50 years ago. 🐝 exeter.ac.uk/news/research/…
Today we published the results of a multiyear project to create truly Varroa-resistant honey bees. Artificial selection for collective behaviours can be a powerful tool when utilised against parasites and pathogens: nature.com/articles/s4159…
