Two guest lectures on global seabird conservation, and population-level responses to pollutants in polar seabirds

TGAC has been revived and we will again meet up to discuss interesting science. First up is this very interesting paper by Therkildsen et al. 2019 in Science

MSc Norith Eckbo at Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis "The narratives of conservation in ecotoxicology: vulnerability and suspectibility to contaminants in polar seabirds" for the degree of PhD.

Doctoral candidate MSc Norith Eckbo at Department of Biosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Plastic in the ocean: how serious is the threat?

MSc Katharine Rose Dean at Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis The epidemiology of plague in Europe: inferring transmission dynamics from historical data for the degree of PhD.

Doctoral candidate MSc Katharine Rose Dean at Department of Biosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Yersinia pestis virulence evolution.

By Jun Kitano from National Institute of Genetics, Japan

A startup meeting regarding the theme "Evolvability: A new and unifying concept in evolutionary biology?". Focusing on refining and redefining the "key questions" about evolvability.

MSc Chloé Rebecca Nater at the Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis Impacts of harvesting, hydropower, and stocking on a size-structured population of brown trout for the degree of PhD.

Doctoral candidate MSc Chloé Rebecca Nater at the Department of Biosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Does individual heterogeneity matter? Predicting global change effects on populations along a life history continuum.
