The speed with which salmon have returned to the Klamath - like the Elwha - after dam removal is overwhelmingly hopeful. And in both cases thanks to decades of tireless advocacy by local Tribes.

Want to join a global 🌎 initiative to test the thermal limits of 🐟 using standardised approach? Led by @patricepottier.bsky.social, we are planning a globally distributed experiment to collect data on fish embryonic heat tolerance 🌡️. Make this experiment global! 🔗: www.thermalecologyalliance.org

The #Roadless Rule protects 45 million acres of unfragmented, pristine national #forest lands from clear-cutting and damaging new roads. The Trump administration has announced an official rulemaking process to rescind the Roadless Rule — public comments are due by September 19!

On behalf of the livestock industry, the USDA recently shot and killed a 3-month-old wolf pup in New Mexico. Another wolf is poised to be killed soon too — unless Interior Secretary Doug Burgum grants him a reprieve. Please sign and share if you haven't already done so. 🚨⬇️

Y’all, can anyone think of an example of an invasive species that we caused to be invasive and then introduced another species to get rid of it but that also ended up being invasive? Double invasive? Lol

Had a blast at the annual ASFB conference @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social in Darwin. ☀️🐊 I was happy to share my research on fish behaviour. Lots of amazing talks through the week. Looking forward to the next one! @whatahoot.bsky.social @timothy-d-clark.bsky.social

It feels like we're going backward, but there are hopeful projects underway, like the MPA network off the British Columbia coast. If done right, it “could be a real, meaningful model for reconciliation” with First Nations. My latest in @biographic.bsky.social. www.biographic.com/welcome-to-t...

Great presentation @timothy-d-clark.bsky.social 👏👏

Everyone say "fish!" 📸 The #ASFB2025 delegates assemble outside the #Darwin Convention Centre for the obligatory group photo.

I was really moved by this figure from @drjessmt.bsky.social’s keynote address this morning at #ASFB2025 These changes are occurring faster and faster, with future generations facing #climatechange conditions that would be unthinkable to their ancestors, visualizing it like this makes it personal 🔥

Once abundant in California waters, the sunflower sea star was nearly wiped out by sea star wasting disease. The cause wasn't clear at first, but one culprit has been identified—a bacterium named Vibrio pectenicida. This finding may help scientists understand and control this disease.

I had an amazing time in Antwerp at the #SEBconference I had the opportunity to share my research on the impact of parasites on fish behaviour🐟🪱 So many great talks! @whatahoot.bsky.social @lkuchenmuller.bsky.social @timothy-d-clark.bsky.social @sebiology.bsky.social

Thanks @sebiology.bsky.social for a great conference here in #Antwerp! Looking forward to the next one 🥳

So many great talks on the last couple days of #SEBconference! It was great to hear from @chris-on-fish.bsky.social and @bradhowell.bsky.social about their work at Trent, as well as my #DeakinMarine friends @gradito.bsky.social on work from her M.S. and Alex Berry on his PhD research 👏

Some great talks on fish metabolism, thermal tolerance, and bioenergetics by folks from @trentuniversity.bsky.social at this year’s #SEBconference in Antwerp, Belgium. @sebiology.bsky.social @erinmcstewart.bsky.social @jaydebon.bsky.social @chris-on-fish.bsky.social

I’m excited to share my research in the Open Animal session today at #SEBconference! I’ll be speaking from 12:15-12:30 in the Nightingale rooms, come along for a chat about how SMR does (or doesn’t!) change with different life history traits in #fish 🐟

A fantastic talk on the “big stage” by @lkuchenmuller.bsky.social on a new method for measuring blood oxygen partial pressure in #rainbowtrout 🐟 #SEBconference

Leave it to @timothy-d-clark.bsky.social to weave a rant on Antwerp’s barber shops into his talk about the awesome physiological adaptations of #tuna 💇‍♂️ Glad to hear that no teleosts are losers here at #SEBconference 😅

@leon-at-sea.bsky.social doing an incredible job of breaking down the causes and consequences of premature hatching 🐣 These are summarized in a recent review I was lucky to help write! You can read the full text here: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... #SEBconference

This morning at #SEBconference, how sensitive are embryos to different environmental stressors? I caught some great talks by Zara Cowan and @patricepottier.bsky.social calling for more balanced research across life stages 🪺

Sandra Binning giving the President's Medallist talk on the importance of considering parasites for increased ecological relevance. Great presentation! 🐟🧪 #SEBconference @sebiology.bsky.social @jexpbiol.bsky.social

A terrific afternoon for fish biology here at #SEBconference ❤️🐟 Great talks by @leeuwisrobin.bsky.social, Moa Metz, and @erinmcstewart.bsky.social about different ways that fish respond to climate warming!

Such a joy to hear Sandra Binning talk about her career in research and how she got started investigating the “small stuff”. Thanks for a great lecture, Sandra ❤️ #SEBConference

If you’re an ECR at #SEBCONFERENCE in Antwerp and interested in writing for Conservation Physiology in Action, or getting involved in reviewing, come chat to our editorial team tomorrow @conphysjournal.bsky.social

Having a great time exploring #Antwerp before this year’s #SEBconference 🧪 Can’t wait to catch up with everyone at the #ECR mixer tonight 🍻

FINclub research trip going well! 32 people, dozens of fish and invert species, 16 experiments, two dogs and lots of fun. Some photos in thread. 🧪🐟🦑

🧪 🐟 #Australian students interested in #marinescience, check this opportunity out!

JFC this reads like a horror movie except it's been unfolding across a swathe of the South Australian coastline, indiscriminately killing all manner of marine life Yet another devastating phenomenon we're all going to become more familiar with in the advent of fossil-fueled marine heatwaves

So, Murray Watt is the new Environment Minister in the re-elected @albomp.bsky.social government. Murray, please implement environmental law reform and increase investment in environmental protection and recovery, as large numbers of experts have advised. theconversation.com/australians-...

On Sunday I drove to the botanical gardens in Cranbourne with one mission: to see the dinosaur trees AKA Wollemi pines 🦕 🌲 These living fossils are an incredible example of nature’s resilience, and of the huge significance of even small patches of wilderness. Bonus: a giant bandicoot sculpture!

Call for proposals! 🎉 We are inviting proposals for our cross-journal special feature (between @funecology.bsky.social and @animalecology.bsky.social): "Energy trade-offs under changing environments" Guest edited by myself, @amandapettersen.bsky.social, and @nealdawson.bsky.social!

Please join me in supporting “A New Vision for Grizzly Bear Recovery in the Northern Rockies,” a plan to maintain grizzly bears’ threatened status under the ESA in the lower 48 states, prohibit hunting of grizzly bears and reestablish a unified grizzly bear population within the Northern Rockies 🐻

US grad students: let's say you're in a weekly lunch meeting attended by students, postdocs, and faculty that functions like a college-wide lab meeting (e.g., journal club, professional development, practice presentations). What would you most like to talk about right now? What would be most useful?
