🐟🌡️🧪 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/...

“what we’re witnessing is…on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, & Chinese labor camps…The admin is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political & cultural prefs for generations”

The ”land of the free” is building literal concentration camps. I don’t think the world should just watch it happen in real time 🙄

NBC is editing out footage of JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS is state sponsored propaganda. Bezos fired over 300 journalists from The Washington Post and left many stranded in foreign countries. They’re crowd funding to get home. Support independent journalism.

The principles of experimental design in ecology and evolution has 20k downloads, but unfortunately I still have to reject ~20% of papers without review because they lack replication at the right level. More discussion among mentors and mentees please. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Hieno artikkeli vitamiinipuutoksesta, joka on aiheuttanut massakuolemia lohenpoikasilla myös Itämerellä -90-luvulla. Silloin syyksi arvioitiin kilohailin suhteellisen isoa määrää silakkaan nähden, ja on mielenkiintoista että silakkaa ehdotetaan ”vitamiinipilleriksi” myös Tyynen valtameren lajeille.

With #Gemini hallucinating #GoogleSearch, #Grok hallucinating in its own encyclopedia, and #ChatGPT increasingly drawing on that exact #Grokipedia, we are continuously enshittifying the information space. This has already become a huge mess that will be increasingly difficult to clean up.

Have you ever wondered what’s going on in birds’ eyes? They’re bizzarre! 🧪🐦👀 Damsgaard et al. describe the role of a structure, which function was not properly understood until now, in @nature.com. Amazing work. In this N&V, Michael Berenbrink and I highlight the study (gift link): rdcu.be/eZ6EC

A plea from an editor: postdocs & grad students who want to review manuscripts, please (!) have an online presence with your current email. I try to solicit reviews from ECRs, but we all move a lot, and it's hard to know if we'll be able to reach you at the email address on your last paper 🧪🌍

The answer the people demand, to the question that somebody asks every 6-8 months

We were delighted to contribute some charr samples from Lough Bunaveela, Co.Mayo to this study. Always good to plunder the depths of old freezers 😂😂

Sadly, the amazing research station where also this experiment was done was shut down a few days ago. Cheers to all the research ever done in Paltamo🥂!

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👇

"It is virtually certain that this Venezuela operation will turn into a big mess with a heaping side order of corruption. But it is also pretty clear it is one of those giant errors that can lead to further screw ups and even disasters."

“All evolutionary biologists know that variation itself is life’s only irreducible essence”—Gould Evolutionary biology is the study of how complicated and diverse life can be; the field has its jerks, but a good evolutionary biologist learns pretty fast that life doesn’t like boundaries or binaries

If you can't be bothered to actually write the peer review yourself why should the reviewee have to listen to it? Why write anything at all, ever? If you don't have enough time, fight for better working conditions instead of faking your work

Mediaan ei marssita noin vain esittämään näkemyksiä. Teoriassa. Käytännössä on useita henkilöitä, joilla on vapaalippu mediaan kertomaan näkemyksiään mistä hyvänsä aiheesta kenenkään kritisoimatta, kontekstoimatta ja vaikka oma lehmä ojassa olisi ilmeinen.

Hieno blogikirjoitus siian monimuotoisuudesta ja haasteista joita se asettaa sekä tutkimukselle että siikakantojen hoidolle. Suomen kalakirjaston sivuilla myös paljon muuta pohdintaa ja asiaa kaloista, kannattaa tutustua🙌

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Political journalism focused on gender and women’s issues, aimed at a young female audience? That’s some of the most dangerous journalism the right can imagine.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.
