Awesome new paper on mapping TBEV in GB by @richardhassall.bsky.social and @ukceh.bsky.social colleagues.
Our new paper combines wildlife surveillance data and spatial risk modelling to map suitability for TBEV in GB. We identified key drivers linked to TBEV exposure in deer and produced risk maps, which can guide future surveillance and interventions. www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2...
Identifying hotspots and risk factors for tick-borne encephalitis virus emergence at its range margins to guide interventions, Great Britain
Background
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is expanding its range in Europe, with increasing human cases reported. Since the first detection of TBEV in ticks in the United Kingdom in 2019, one po...

Still a couple of weeks left to apply for this #PhD. How are pollinating #insects changing in the UK? This project will develop indicators for #pollinators using #citizenscience data. A collaboration between @ukceh.bsky.social, University of Reading and JNCC. tinyurl.com/3ve5szrh
Looking for a #PhDposition? Passionate about #pollinators and #citizenscience? Come do a PhD at @ukceh.bsky.social on developing indicators for pollinating insects using data from UK PoMS. The project includes a placement at JNCC. To apply tinyurl.com/3ve5szrh

Our new paper in @jappliedecology.bsky.social used models informed by spread in invaded regions to assess the effectiveness of interventions targeting yellow-legged hornet (aka Asian hornet) at its invasion front in Europe. doi.org/10.1111/1365....
Predicting the spatio‐temporal dynamics of biological invasions: Have rapid responses in Europe limited the spread of the yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)?
By predicting the extent of a biological invasion in the absence of timely interventions and comparing this to the current distribution of the yellow-legged hornet, we found that management measures ...

How effective are efforts to stop the yellow-legged (Asian) hornet? Despite the UK’s suitable climate and habitat, rapid action has prevented establishment.
A new study models its spread in invaded regions to predict spread elsewhere without intervention.
