Development of abundance and distribution of the invasive pink salmon in the large River Teno/Tana catchment in northern Finland and Norway. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/ZYHXEZ...

🐟🌡️🧪 New study from #ThermoEvo project @luke.fi: Juvenile Atlantic salmon show no increase in aerobic scope during an ecologically realistic #heatwave. This suggests limited capacity to cope with higher oxygen demand in warming rivers, when O2 costs increase. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

There are just a few days (and spots!) left to apply to this EM course with a focus on marine samples 🌊 do not miss it!

The red-chested sea cucumber, Trachythyone insolens, from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦. Holothurians (sea cucumbers) are primarily deposit or suspension feeders that use specialized, mucus-covered oral tentacles to trap food particles, such as organic detritus, from the seabed or water column.

In this new study that emerged from a great collaboration led by @morganefrapin.bsky.social and Ehsan Pashay Ahi, we dig into the molecular mechanisms of density-dependent effects in Atlantic salmon, specifically in their hypothalamus (a key site for endocrine regulation). A couple of points below👇

These are the objectives we will pursue in NeurEvoFun (“Dissecting the neurosecretory brain-gut axis function and evolution: from regulome and cell identity to cellular crosstalk”).
