šŸ“¢ Make sure to check out our recent special issue by editor @julianowack.bsky.social! Explore thermoregulatory and metabolic adaptations in our changing world in this new special issue. šŸŒ¤ļøšŸŒ§ļøšŸ¦‡šŸŖ° www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

Join a new and growing lab in wonderful Newfoundland! (who wouldn't want Gros Morne National Park on their back doorstep?). #MSc position available in Dr. Sean Boyle's lab: Population and community #ecology of invasive amphibians.

The next in our series on revisiting concepts of thermal physiology, expertly driven by @duncanmitchellwits.bsky.social - what does set-point really mean, how does negative feedback operate? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Misconceptions and Set-Points For decades, the concept of a thermoregulatory "set-point" has been a cornerstone of physiological research, yet its definition and application remain surprisingly inconsistent across disciplines. Our recent study, spear-headed by the inimitable Dr. Duncan Mitchell,ā€¦

A reminder that there is a starter pack for the CONSERVATION PHYSIOLOGY COMMUNITY. Today we welcomed cons phys gurus @trishschulte.bsky.social @physiologyfish.bsky.social & @craigefranklin.bsky.social. Ping me if you work in this space and want to be added! go.bsky.app/RRAUWkk

everyone! @trishschulte.bsky.social is here! Trish is not only a brilliant scientist with decades of experience in the fields of evolutionary and fish physiology but she is also a wonderful human & supervisor šŸ„¹ follow Trish for super cool science about fish, climate change, evolution & more! šŸ§ŖšŸ‘©šŸ»ā€šŸ”¬šŸŒŽšŸ 

Latest ā€œbuzzā€ about nesting choices poses a sunny conundrum forĀ bees Nest site selection is a critical decision for many animals, but for small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata), itā€™s a gamble with possibly far-reaching consequences. In our recent study, deHaan et al. explored the delicateā€¦

universityaffairs.ca/opinion/inte... Hmmm.. our physics department has a grad program charging $40k tuition to international students to take a course-based masters.

The JTB is currently accepting paper submissions for our upcoming special issue: Ontogenetic variation in thermal biology: assessing life stage-specific adaptations and sensitivity in animals. šŸ¦‰šŸ¦«ā˜€ļøā„ļø šŸ“Submit your papers now! www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

Journal of Thermal Biology has arrived at BlueSky!

So super proud to share our new paper on the thermal effects on yellow perch bone development. The bone staining images are so beautiful šŸ˜ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Unlocking the Motivations of Repetitive Behaviours inĀ Reptiles Our latest study ( sheds light on a perplexing behaviour seen in captive reptiles, namely their interactions with barriers (IWB), a form of repetitive behaviour akin to pacing in mammals. As part of her PhD research, Melanie DenommĆ©ā€¦

Meanwhile colleagues at my own university vow for their right to supervise graduate students while providing them no financial support, and deans of graduate studies suggest we create more course based masters where students are not given a living wage. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Happy New Year Reviewers! Consider as your new years resolution to respond to editor's request. A simple decline is fine. A suggested reviewer is better. Accepting to review is best! Ignoring is boring. This has been an Editor's lament. All I want for 2025 is for you to respond.

tattersalllab.com/2024/12/31/s... New paper out in Ecology Letters, led by Alexa McQueen!

Shrinking ShorebirdsĀ &Ā How Climate Change is ReshapingĀ Them Shorebirds in Australia are undergoing significant morphological changes due to climate change, including body size reduction and bill elongation, as observed in a 46-year study. These adaptations help with heat dissipation but vary byā€¦

I wanted to post this here since it didn't get much attention on the other app - but this year I published one paper from my MSc. I was really excited to get this one out! (šŸ§µ1/n) (FYI - It's a bat paper, the image is from the Journals cover art) journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...
