EPERIENCE:
Third year research project and published paper:
"The costs & consequences of parasitoid attack for the predatory hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus"
ˇ A successful project designed to investigate the costs & consequences Hoverflies have for the ability to survive parasitoid infection using an immunological response called Encapsulation
ˇ Experiments involved the use of a wide range of scientific techniques and apparatus in order to identify changes in larval & pupal biometrics, predatory rates and adult survivorship. This involved a lot of unsupervised independent lab based work carried out for often long and sometimes unsociable hours.
ˇ Comprehensive literature reviews and complex statistical data analyses were also necessary to achieve the full scientific presentation and dissertation concluding the final year project.
Summer field trip to Loch Lomond, Scotland:
ˇ Invertebrate and mammalian trapping techniques were practised and species identification and statistical analyses were used to establish the biodiversity of the flora and fauna in the Scottish highlands.
ˇ Individual and group field projects, maintenance of equipment and participation in the general running of the field station helped build strong teamwork and good communication skills.
