Giant centipedes prey on seabirds

August 4, 2021.

​

New open access research published in The American Naturalist, "Arthropod Predation of Vertebrates Structures Trophic Dynamics in Island Ecosystems"

​

This research is supported with an article we wrote in The Conversation

"Giant bird-eating centipedes exist — and they’re surprisingly important for their ecosystem"

​

Research presented at the World Seabird Twitter Conference (#WSTC7)

May 12, 2021.

​

In May this year, I presented some of my PhD research on the role of an endemic arthropod, the Phillip Island Centipede (Cormocephalus coynei) in structuring trophic dynamics and nutrient flow in a remote island ecosystem. 

 

Here are the tweets from the presentation!
