Elinor joined the team in July 2023 and will primarily work on the Innovate UK funded Farming Innovations Pathway project.

Andrea joined the team in October 2023 on a NERC-funded ACCE DTP studentship project "Aphid protective symbionts as unseen drivers of population and community dynamics and the impact for biological control".

Jenna's project will investigate how genetic diversity and association with endosymbiotic bacteria affects virus transmission potential in cereal aphids.

Anthony's project will examine how beneficial rhizobacteria impact crop-vector-virus interactions.

"Effects of landscape composition on the microbiome of rapeseed aphids"

"Investigating fitness in cereal aphid populations"

"The influence of aphid colour morph on the outcomes of predator-prey interactions"

"The relationship between landscape complexity, natural enemy diversity, and pest suppression in cereal cropping systems"
