Heading North for the overwintering organisms in the dark of the Arctic (polar) nights!

Happy to share our latest paper: "Sea surface freshening can suppress the thermal tipping point of marine copepods" in Science of the Total Environment! 🌊❄️ We found that: 1) Survival of Calanus copepods tipped and decreased above temperatures of 14–18 °C. #ClimateChange #MarineEcology #OceanWarming

Calanus hyperboreus, the largest Calanus copepod in the world. The huge lipid sac inside the body is a key energy source that fuels the lipid-rich Arctic marine food web. This is a C. hyperboreus female from the Nansen Basin. Photo @Khuong Dinh

A must-read paper

Old but gold: How including data on behaviour, morphology and life-history can improve our ability to predict population collapse?🕐🐳🦭🐀🦤📉 Find out at @natecoevo.nature.com here: rdcu.be/c4dXqVery, with @expecocons.bsky.social @dzchilds.bsky.social

Great to have this finally out! A whole summer of experiments at @bristolbiosci.bsky.social to look for behavioural and morphological signals of collapse in protists population🔬 Thanks to @duncanobrien.bsky.social @expecocons.bsky.social @dzchilds.bsky.social and John Jackson for the great team work

Collecting Tigriopus brevicornis from a splash pool for the experiment. These tiny crustaceans are remarkable for thriving in such dynamic and fluctuating habitats.

"During the workshop, Khuong Dinh (University of Oslo), an ecotoxicologist, raised a simple question to everyone, ‘How do you define biodiversity?’ As it turned out, everyone had a slightly different answer."

Climate change may cut coral reef calcification, leading to net dissolution. This could increase ocean carbon uptake by 13% by 2300, boosting the carbon budget for the Paris Agreement’s 2°C target. ? www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

"This paper elucidates the common pitfalls in ecological studies, such as throwing all variables into an analysis, use of the Akaike information criterion (AIC) for model selection, the “Table 2 fallacy” and the misuse of controls: all of which can lead to misleading scientific understanding."

Publishers earn billions of dollars from publishing scientific articles, so why don't they compensate reviewers for their work? Many, especially early career researchers are so struggling for "survival" with unfairly low salaries, unpaid work like this, and organizing conferences.

Very happy to see this paper out, wonderful collaboration with Gaowen Yang and @jamesaorr.bsky.social & other friends Kong et al. @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social Ecosystems have multiple interacting processes that buffer against co-occurring stressors 🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
