How does pre- and post-natal environmental stress affect the seminal foam proteome of Japanese quail? Find out here, Chloe Mason’s second PhD thesis paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @martingarlovsky.bsky.social @oscarvedder.bsky.social
**PhD opportunity at @uniexecec.bsky.social** How does host microbiome dynamics affect wildlife disease? Combine molecular techniques, statistical modelling, and field sampling to understand how microbiome dynamics in 🦡 affects their susceptibility to bTB. 🔬🦠🧪 Please repost! shorturl.at/q3OxV
*PhD opportunity @uniexecec.bsky.social* How does antimicrobial resistance spread through ecosystems? Combine fieldwork (rodent trapping 🐭, habitat surveys 🌳, pheasant sampling 🦤), molecular techniques, GIS, and spatial modelling to understand AMR evolution and spread. 🔬🦠🧪 Please repost!
