As the climate warms, animals are being forced to shift their ranges to survive.🐾 Research led by Kayley Breslin & tessgrainger.bsky.social @integrativebiology.bsky.social using beetles found warmer temperatures can accelerate both movement & population growth. www.uoguelph.ca/cbs/news/202...

#CSEE2026 come check out the Grainger lab's presentations! (PS - I'm recruiting a PhD student for 2027, get at me if you or someone you know is interested!)

The PREZODE @prezode.bsky.social initiative (Preventing ZOonotic Disease Emergence) has released a new video! The message: Investments in prevention are affordable, and they strengthen local capacity over the long term, reducing the frequency of future crises: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeMM...

⚠️ Ecosystems aren’t static — they’re constantly rewiring in response to climate change, species shifts, and human impacts. New #research out of the CEM explores what that means for resilience and conservation: 🔗 www.ecosystemscience.ca/news/new-res... @uofgcbs.bsky.social
