"A systems-modelling approach to predict biological responses to extreme heat" doi.org/10.32942/X2B...

Very important study!! Check out the physiological and life-history to experimental evolution for thermal tolerance 👇 Some surprising results that help us better understand trade-offs and physiological mechanisms conferring thermal sensitivity 🐟🌡️

One of my studies, written with wonderful @itchyshin.bsky.social Sammy Burke @patricepottier.bsky.social Trace Ainsworth & Losia Łagisz earned a #TopCitedArticle badge. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... We showed that coral diseases may get upended by climate change, wiping out most of corals

We made the cover www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The latest issue of @nature.com sports a charismatic cover image ooooof... A frog! :) our recent paper on amphibians and the ways global climate change is bound to affect them (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) found its way to the cover of Nature. 💜💚🐸

How vulnerable are #amphibians to extreme heat? 🐸🌡️ Our paper in @nature.com shows that many amphibians are already overheating, and many more species will be impacted by climate warming globally. See the thread below for a digest 🧵 Link to the paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415... #Nature

New paper in @nature.com led by @patricepottier.bsky.social! We demonstrated global vulnerability of amphibians to warming, threatening 10% of >5,000 species examined. How did we do it? See thread🧵 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Amphibians are at risk of overheating due to climate change in both hemispheres 2% species are currently exposed to overheating even in shaded conditions, so water bodies are essential for them to buffer the effects of heat waves @patricepottier.bsky.social @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An accessible summary of our paper is also available to read from the @aunz.theconversation.com | theconversation.com/hot-frogs-an...

6) Microhabitats that include shade, vegetation, & water bodies are critical for buffering the effects of climate change 🌏. Immediate action is needed to manage these microhabitat features (especially water sources!).

5) The results are alarming. Even accounting for shade, skin wetness & acclimation, the risk of overheating under a warming climate is high globally 🔥. The risk is 4-folds higher under +4C than a +2C scenario.

4) Hourly body temperature can be extracted from the biophysical models to estimate thermal safety margins & the number of overheating events 🥵.

3) We then used biophysical models to calculate the microclimate in each species range under 3 habitats (arboreal, aquatic, terrestrial) & 2 future climate scenarios (+2 or +4C warming). Totalling >100K models! This took supercomputers from @unsw.bsky.social to achieve!

2) For thermal limits, @patricepottier.bsky.social developed a novel imputation method to predict CTmax of 5.2K species from a known dataset. This imputation accounted for within-species variation, acclimation, & phylogeny.

1) For each 🐸 species, we needed to know their thermal tolerance, distribution range, & the microclimates experienced in their range and across time. We used multiple data sources to get this data.

How vulnerable are amphibians to global warming? 🐸🌡️ Check out the amazing research by @patricepottier.bsky.social et al. 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to see this out and congrats in particular to @patricepottier.bsky.social after leading such a huge effort! I think there are some really interesting findings here that challenge common ideas about the geography of warming risk and how we measure it

@nature.com has just published online our new paper!🎉🐸🌡️Lead by @patricepottier.bsky.social and supervised by myself and @itchyshin.bsky.social: in this massive research effort we overcome several common convictions related to the topics we studied. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Here are take-homes.

The deadline to submit abstracts is approaching!!! ⏰ (March 7th) Consider submitting an abstract for a talk or poster in our session (A14) if you study the vulnerability of early life stages to environmental stressors! 🐣 The early bird registration deadline is May 16th.

The deadline is approaching!! Please submit your abstracts for the next #SEBConference if you haven't already 👇👇 It's going to be a ton of fun!

Abstract submission for the next #SEBConference are closing soon! We'd be very keen to receive more abstracts on the responses of early life stages and environmental stressors (session A14) 🙌 Check it out below 👇

Check out this brillant session by Pat Monaghan, Valeria Marasco, @patricepottier.bsky.social, @jaydebon.bsky.social , Tiana Kohlsdorf & Zara-Louise Cowan www.sebiology.org/events/seb-annual-conference-antwerp-2025/sessions-2025/animal.html

Hey you! Yes...you! You study early life stages? You like multiple taxa? You should consider presenting in our session: Vulnerability and adaptations of early life stages to environmental stressors (A14). 🚨Deadline : March 7th 🚨 See you at the #SEBCONFERENCE in Antwerp!✌️ @sebiology.bsky.social

Excited to share our new paper, led by @danielwanoble.bsky.social, in @royalsocietypublishing.org! ‘We believe that the future of preprints is bright, and community-driven initiatives, such as EcoEvoRxiv, will play a crucial role in the future of scientific publishing.’ tinyurl.com/4tpbj859

New paper led by Losia Lagisz out today in @royalsocietypublishing.org! 'We recommend tangible actions towards making learned societies more affordable and accessible.' tinyurl.com/2jww44j2

The first many-analysts study in ecology is finally published! 🥳🙌 300+ coauthors and 5+ years, this was a massive effort by @elliotgould.bsky.social Hannah Fraser Tim Parker and co. Open access 👉 bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Do your (often subjective) choices done during data analysis change their outcomes? Unfortunately and strikingly 🤯 yes! A stellar team of authors (the paper resembles some of CERN outputs in terms of authors number ;) clearly shows that biases may be severe! bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Check out this special issue in The Journal of Thermal Biology! 🌡️🔥🌡️ If you've done some work that advances our understanding of the variation in thermal responses across life stages, this one is for you👇

It took four days from submission to publication, and nearly five years from publication to retraction. After campaigning by many, many scientists, and an investigation by Elsevier, an infamous paper on hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment has been retracted. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

This. Having been through this with a conservation assessment for dingoes in Victoria, this year—which I found highly unsatisfying—this rings absolutely true for me. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

THRILLED🎉🤩 to finally announce that I have joined the Gomez-Mestre lab at @ebdonana.bsky.social today with a Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions fellowship🇪🇺! As part of the #msca project #amphistress, I will continue working on the dynamics of stress hormones in amphibians in stressful environments. 🐸🌡️🌎☀️

We are far from conserving migratory butterflies. Our new paper shows that current protected areas are inadequate for 👉84% of migratory butterfly species in at least one season 👉45% of species in all seasons. (1/7) doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others I shared my story with Science to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again www.science.org/content/arti...

Pinning the EcoEvo job board so I’ll no longer have a reason to revisit the blue bird website. 🚨📌 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Seafood often isn’t included in impact data of food waste on climate and land use, but it should be. The impact on ocean ecosystems can’t be ignored. Bycatch, non-targeted wildlife like whales killed by fishing gear, is the leading source of the fishing industry’s waste.

yay for #sturgeonsaturday !! sturgeon fact: white sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish in North America and the sturgeon below was 7 feet long but they can grow to at least twice this size! 🤯 (i flooded my waders for this pic but sooo worth it) 🧪👩🏻‍🔬🐠🌎🐟
