Had a fantastic time at the first #ExE2026 conference in Cornwall. I was also very happy to be one of the runners up for best research poster which displayed the first results from my post doc looking into the effects of climate of reproductive timing in field crickets.

This study was a huge team effort, and the first publication (of hopefully many more), using the full 20 site gradient. Thanks to all the co-authors, landowners, staff, students and volunteers that made the study possible. @dmdominoni.bsky.social @pcapi.bsky.social @rachelrosereid.bsky.social
Amazing time presenting my research on the effects of artificial light at night at EOU 2025 in Bangor Wales. So many fantastic talks and posts!
