Multiple anthropogenic stressors can negatively impact species but can a single stressor also have multiple, concurrent impacts? Here we show that light pollution creates several simultaneous impacts to the nocturnal movement ecology of a moth and a spider: tinyurl.com/5eku5bff (1/5)

Hi #river #ecologists and #geomorphologists, is there an R or python package that can take in DEM or topo data to extract possible historic islands, side channels, and backwaters? Thanks!

Why do treehoppers look so weird?! Our latest paper, out this week in @pnas.org, suggests a perhaps unexpected reason - static electricity ⚡ We show that treehoppers can detect the electrostatic cues of predators and that their crazy shapes may boost their electrosensitivity! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

"While our research has shown that many freshwater species readily bounce back from occasional periods of drought, we know that excessively hot, dry weather year after year can bring more profound long-term changes to both standing and running waters." Read our drought comment: lnkd.in/eYJ6hs6C

So very excited for the magnum opus of my #PhD to finally be out in @pnas.org. 🎉🎉 We demosntrate that mutualistic co-mimicking tropical butterflies not only converge in light microhabitat but, as a consequence, have also converged in visual system morphology! 1/n😀 www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

✨Out Now✨ The outcome of my 1st ever #guppy experiment (from 2021!) w @ccioannou.bsky.social & @jtroscianko.bsky.social We asked: How detectable are guppies to visual predators under different env. conditions?👇 academic.oup.com/beheco/artic... #ISBE #fish #behaviour @bristolbiosci.bsky.social 🧵1/9

🚨 Freshwater habitats are under threat, species are declining, and current efforts to fix this are failing. But we have a solution to the freshwater biodiversity crisis. It's called the Freshwater Network. (1/2)

Our latest #research with @ccioannou.bsky.social has been published in @commsbio.bsky.social ! Read here 👉 rdcu.be/d9J2u We used real-time tracking and a robot-heron to investigate how state-behaviour #feedbacks influence anti-predator #escape responses in #fish 🐟.
