Science Alive! Diary of a PhD: March 2010
http://sciencealivediary.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
So, what am I working on? I am investigating how wildlife responds to environmental pressures such as climate change and habitat loss. Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Very little is known about the behaviour of the caterpillar I am studying so I have begun filming these moths whilst they move around the kawakawa leaves. I thought I’d put a clip up to demonstrate some of its characteristic features. But when another scientist, Fletcher revised the genus, the caterpillar was given the Latin name Cleora scriptaria.

So, what am I working on? I am investigating how wildlife responds to environmental pressures such as climate change and habitat loss. Friday, May 27, 2011. Aware that I haven’t given much of an update on my actual PhD research recently I thought I’d drop a short note in today. I feel it necessary to emerge from my office on a regular basis to get some stimulation outside of my own research and as such I have attended a few environment-related events, two of which I discuss below:. 1 Input the climate sh...

Visit to Port Douglas for International Pest Risk Modelling Workshop. I attended a pest risk modelling and mapping working group in the lovely Port Douglas from 23-25th August. The workshop was titled ‘Pest Risk in a Changing World’ and included some really great presentations relating to the analysis and mapping of risk relating to invasive pest species but also a few domestic pest species. My presentation was titled “Risk analysis for. Lively discussion during a sunset river cruise. Comment now ».

So, what am I working on? I am investigating how wildlife responds to environmental pressures such as climate change and habitat loss. Monday, April 18, 2011. Back to the field. It has been a while since my last post, inexcusable really as there has been a whole wealth of issues going on in the environmental world. PhD work recently however has had to prevail, with my last bout of fieldwork taking precedence. Photo provided by Ben Rodriguez. So, back in the UK now and on to the analysis and write up, wil...

So, what am I working on? I am investigating how wildlife responds to environmental pressures such as climate change and habitat loss. Friday, May 21, 2010. Whilst up in the region I will be checking- up on the plants that I brought up earlier in the year. Concerned by the potential for plants to dry out in their pots I will be digging them into the ground to reduce the possibility of them dying due to water deficit rather than frost sensitivity. Now, off to brave the wet and dangerous New Zealand bush!

Planting for frost tolerance (& carbon offsetting).
