Throughout this fellowship native and non-native Chalcid wasp species will be studied at the protected Akrotiri Peninsula, increasing our knowledge of their biodiversity, biological invasions and impacts.
Biodiversity monitoring efforts aimed at identifying the migration patterns of Endangered sea turtles highlight the urgent need for global conservation.
