Welcome to the Ecology & Evolution blog written by members of the School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

We have very broad interests, and we hope to share some of these with you on this blog. Our members work in such diverse fields as plant-pollinator networks, food-webs, ecosystem stability, parasitology, plant systematics, marine biology, morphological evolution, biogeography, palaeontology, behavioural ecology, biodiversity research, and developmental biology. For more information on our School’s research projects, see the School’s research page.

We intend to post bi-monthly during the college term, on topics including reviews of recent papers and books, press releases for new papers published by members of the group, abstracts from seminars and conferences, photographs from exotic (and not so exotic!) fieldwork locations, discussions on controversial topics in Ecology and Evolution, and more.

We hope you enjoy reading our posts as much as we enjoyed writing them, and we encourage you to leave comments and join the debate!

Current Editors

The current co-editors of the blog are Aoife Molloy and Eleanor Lampard.

Aoife is a first year PhD  student in the Co-Centre for Climate + Biodiversity + Water and the Zoology Department working in the in the Buckley Lab led by Prof Yvonne Buckley. Her research focuses on how existing evidence can be mobilised to support robust, science-based decision-making in biodiversity policy and practice. This includes examining nature-based solutions alongside complementary approaches to address pressing societal challenges, particularly in the areas of climate adaptation and mitigation.
