EFE & GB Nets becomes part of NHBS
Welcome to NHBS, home of EFE & GB Nets
EFE & GB Nets has been manufacturing marine and freshwater survey nets and entomological survey equipment in the UK since 1974 and is renowned for the quality and durability of its products. On May 17th, NHBS acquired EFE & GB Nets and began the process of transferring the workshop from Lostwithiel in Cornwall to our new facility alongside our warehouse in Totnes. Production will resume in the next few days and everyone at NHBS is extremely excited about the opportunities that expanding into manufacturing brings. 

Bernard Mercer, founder and chairman of NHBS said: “we are delighted and honoured to be the new owner of EFE & GB Nets, which has been supplying great products to conservationists for over 40 years. We aim to maintain the excellent design and manufacturing standards for which EFE & GB Nets is known; and also hope to develop innovative new products that meet the needs of the conservation community, both in the UK and internationally.”

As well as the complete range of marine, freshwater and entomological survey equipment produced by EFE & GB Nets, we are also very happy to undertake bespoke design projects, including entirely new nets and other equipment. Please contact our Wildlife Equipment Engineer, Thomas Hamilton Koch (thomashk@nhbs.com) to discuss your ideas.

Arctique [Arctic] - Vincent Munier
Arctique [Arctic]
Vincent Munier's work is marked by a sense of the mystery of nature where the photographer is at once intimate with, and estranged from, his subject. Never trivialising his craft, Munier manages to tread a careful line between naturalism and a subtly contrived aesthetic framing.

Arctique is a breathtaking journey through the white lands of the North with its charismatic residents, and it includes a companion volume which documents the expedition.
Diversity limited by natural selection
New research from the University of Cambridge sheds light on a long-standing paradox in population genetics, whereby species with large populations often show only as much diversity as smaller populations - despite higher potential for the occurrence of mutations.

Ghostly photos show habitat destruction
Photographer Nick Brandt's provocative new book and international exhibition series, Inherit the Dust, superimposes portraits of animals over images of the destroyed and developed landscapes where they once lived. This video reveals the disturbing impact of this juxtaposition.

Professor Ilkka Hanski (1953-2016)
Finnish ecologist and evolutionary biologist Professor Ilkka Hanski, considered the father of metapopulation theory, died earlier this month after a long illness. Prof Hanski was a multi-award-winning scientist and a major figure in the worldwide scientific community.
