Will you be tuning in?
The UK host city for Eurovision 2023 is set to be revealed tonight, with both Glasgow and Liverpool in the running.
A final decision will be made by the BBC in conjunction with the European Broadcasting Union , with the final two locations having been whittled down from a list of 20 applicants.It has been through unusual circumstances that the UK has come to be in this position to even have a host city, after finishing as runners-up at the 2022 competition.
Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra beat out Sam Ryder for the top spot, but the EBU decided the show could not be safely held in the country following Russia’s invasion.Tonight’s the night we’ll find out where #Eurovision 2023 is heading!It was later decided that the UK could step in to host for 2023, which will be the ninth time they have hosted the competition.
Those waiting with nervous anticipation for who will be announced as the host will be able to do so live on

Influence of management practice on the microbiota of a critically endangered species: a longitudinal study of kākāpō chick faeces and associated nest litter - Animal MicrobiomeBackground The critically endangered kākāpō is a flightless, nocturnal parrot endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand. Recent efforts to describe the gastrointestinal microbial community of this threatened herbivore revealed a low-diversity microbiota that is often dominated by Escherichia-Shigella bacteria. Given the importance of associated microbial communities to animal health, and increasing appreciation of their potential relevance to threatened species conservation, we sought to better understand the development of this unusual gut microbiota profile. To this end, we conducted a longitudinal analysis of faecal material collected from kākāpō chicks during the 2019 breeding season, in addition to associated nest litter material. Results Using an experimental approach rarely seen in studies of threatened species microbiota, we evaluated the impact of a regular conservation practice on the developing kākāpō microbiota, namely the removal of faecal material from nests. Artificially removing chick faeces from nests had negligible impact on bacterial community diversity for either chicks or nests (p | 0.05). However, the gut microbiota did change significantly over time as chick age increased (p | 0.01), with an increasing relative abundance of Escherichia-Shigella coli over the study period and similar observations for the associated nest litter microbiota (p | 0.01). Supplementary feeding substantially altered gut bacterial diversity of kākāpō chicks (p | 0.01), characterised by a significant increase in Lactobacillus bacteria. Conclusions Overall, chick age and hand rearing conditions had the most marked impact on faecal bacterial communities. Similarly, the surrounding nest litter microbiota changed significantly over time since a kākāpō chick was first placed in the nest, though we found no evidence that removal of faecal material influenced the bacterial communities of either litter or faecal samples. Taken together, these observations will inform ongoing conservation
