Microlanding - Symbiont transmission in early life stages of mangrove crabs
People Involved
Project Description
The 'Microlanding' project aims to unravel the nature, topological interactions, dynamics and functions of the bacterial symbionts associated with mangrove crabs' gills in relation to the evolution from water to land. We have designed a multifaceted approach that, moving from a preliminary dataset, aims to assess the diversity of the microorganisms associated to the gills of crabs of different species and with different levels of terrestrialization, at different development stages.

Building and evaluating recorders for seabird vocalisations at nesting sites with differing degrees of human disturbance Apr 1, 2016 - Aug 31, 2017
Long-duration recorders are commercially available for week-scale terrestrial sound monitoring, but expensive and large, thus difficult to disguise in colonies. We have an active collaboration with the Soundtags group at St Andrews who have co-develo...
