About this event

Nutrients are one of the most fundamental drivers of interactions between species. How nutrients drive foraging by invertebrates in nature has traditionally been difficult to study, but modern methods pave the way for an enhanced understanding of invertebrate nutritional dynamics. Jordan will describe how we can study the influence of nutrients on foraging, the structure of interactions across whole ecosystems and the implications for ecosystem services like biocontrol of crop pests.

Jordan Cuff is a research fellow based in Newcastle University and leads the Foraging Ecology Research Group. Jordan's research uses molecular methods to study the interactions between invertebrates and the factors that drive and constrain those interactions.

The 1-hour event will consist of a presentation followed by a Q&A with the tutor using questions provided by the live audience. The presentation will be recorded and made available through the entoLIVE blog alongside a write-up of the Q&A and any links to further info.

entoLIVE is delivered by the Biological Recording Company, British Entomological & Natural History Society, Royal Entomological Society and Amateur Entomologists' Society, with support from Buglife, Field Studies Council and NBN Trust.

The Biological Recording Company

The Biological Recording Company provide a range of events focused on educating and training biological recorders and biodiversity professionals in the United Kingdom.

  • entoLIVE Webinars are free 1-hour virtual events exploring the science of insects and other invertebrates. Each webinar will feature an invertebrate scientist and are suitable for adults of all abilities – a passion for invertebrates is all that’s required!
  • Virtual Symposiums explore a subject in more detail through a series of talks from subject experts. These longer events have a small charge and are often available with an 'earlybird' discount.
  • Field Recorder Days are 1-day events where experienced and novice recorders come together to record the wildlife of a site. Records are generally collated through iRecord and shared with the site manager, Local Environmental Record Centre and relevant National Recording Schemes/Societies.
  • Earthworm Training Courses cover topics such as biology, ecology, sampling techniques and identification.
