Read my new post on the Stoney Lake Blog! I write about my undergrad thesis project with @graham-raby.bsky.social about using underwater video as a fisheries monitoring tool. Also see the resulting paper here: doi.org/10.1093/tafa...

A short feature from @trentuniversity.bsky.social on our research using @innovasea.com predation-sensing telemetry tags to study fish ecology! www.trentu.ca/news/story/2...

Very proud of this project and the resulting paper. Underwater video is a promising alternative to capture-based fish sampling methods.

How useful is underwater video as a fisheries assessment tool in freshwater? @jacobbowman.bsky.social asked this question for his honours thesis, by comparing video against other ways of counting fish. Editor's Choice in TAFS: academic.oup.com/tafs/advance...

In this new study, we provide new data relevant to the debate about whether oxygen limitation is a universal driver of thermal tolerance in water breathing animals. News story: www.trentu.ca/news/story/2... Paper: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... Primer: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Home is where the heat is (for brook trout that is) Intrigued? Then check out this latest #ConPhys in Action piece, explaining the importance of local conditions to 🐟 temperature tolerance, and therefore for #Conservation planning. Comments on Stewart et al (links in 🧵⬇️ )

It was a pleasure to be Erin's research assistant on this project in 2021! Here are some of the amazing and variable streams we visited during our fieldwork.

Species’ adaptability to climate change will depend on individual and population-level responses to heat stress. This study quantified thermal tolerance of wild trout populations and identified factors affecting interpopulation variation 🐟 Read here: https://buff.ly/3PqIVON

📣 Just published in @conphysjournal.bsky.social with @jacobbowman.bsky.social, Chris Wilson, and Graham Raby How much does upper thermal tolerance vary among wild populations of brook trout? What drives this variation? 🌡️ 🧵1/5 doi.org/10.1093/conp...
