Press release outlining the main aim of my PhD research
”In a three year Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)- funded study PhD student Pete Graystock will screen native and foreign bumblebees as using advanced molecular techniques to identify parasite DNA. They will also investigate the affects of parasites on bee health.
The research, co-supervised by Professor Dave Goulson and Dr Ben Darvil co-founders of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, will be used to inform conservation strategies and potentially improve screening for imported bees.”
