Another day, another batch of mosquito gut dissections. Look at those beautiful malaria oocysts (P. chabaudi) and i'm not sure but is that melanization too?

Today is world malaria day. Check out our website thereecelab.com to see how we use malaria as a model for studying ecology and evolution. We would also like to highlight the great work by Women In Malaria and SPPIRIT Network for their help in fostering communities.

Congratulations Mrs. Pirie (Meldrum School): you are the lucky winner of the #ReeceLabOnTour Science Week Competition! The handheld microscopes will be coming your way after the Easter Break. ScotPEN RAiSE Meldrum School

It's always lovely to get post from the primary pupils participating in 'Reece Lab On Tour'! Thanks so much for the amazing letters and drawings Lanark Primary, we hope you all had a lovely time. #ReeceLabOnTour RAiSE LanarkPrimarySchool&ELC ScotPEN

I'm really proud of this one. New paper out, 'Machine learning reveals singing rhythms of male Pacific field crickets are clock controlled'. academic.oup.com/beheco/article…

🚨New paper alert 🚨From her time in our lab, the amazing Mary Westwood demonstrates that the calling behaviour of male Pacific field cricket is a circadian trait and therefore could be a target for natural selection imposed by a parasitoid fly. So cool!

Last day of a fantastic two weeks of school outreach parasitology! Thanks Petra and Aidan! The Reece Lab

Today in class we were all very lucky to capture a mosquito emerging from pupa form! So cool! youtube.com/watch?v=rdm5QI… #ReeceLabOnTour

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 Here we (Catherine Oke) test a non-destructive method to detect sporozoites from individual infected mosquitoes on sugar-feeding substrates. doi.org/10.1186/s13071…

We've had a really fun time teaching Japanese pupils Parasitology with Richard Culleton. Two classes so far and both have been so much fun. #ReecelabOnTour

Waiting for the ferry to our new home for two weeks, Matsuyama! The Reece Lab is most definitely on tour! #Reecelabontour
