To understand how climate change affects natural ecosystems we need to know how warming influences species interactions. In our newest paper we show that predator-prey interactions fundamentally change across latitude leading to context dependent effects of warming. 🧪 doi.org/10.1111/oik....

This is so cool - this study used Chinese poetry to reconstruct 1400 years of range change for the Yangtze finless porpoise, and showed that most of the range loss happened in the last century papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Failure is a cornerstone of scientific research, but it still feels bad. Here is a short article I wrote on how to mentally deal with "failed" experiments. Does a truly "failed" experiment actually exist?? @academic-chatter.bsky.social #academicsky #microsky elisagranato.com/phd-tips-dea...

I’m doing some reflection and lite research on this but does anyone have any advice to share for new grad students to get more comfortable chatting about science, especially w “superiors” and professionals? Not presentations, chats. A grad student asked me for advice on this. #NewPI #AcademicSky 🧪

From @edyong209.bsky.social: “Every student of animal behavior—from curious children to professional zoologists—should read this book. It makes plain the forces that have skewed our understanding of what animals do, and gives us a foundation upon which we can build a better science.” bit.ly/3UL2O6m
