🧵THREAD: (1/7) Standard metabolic rate (SMR) is one of biology's most measured traits. We argue it isn't the constant baseline it's assumed to be. Our preprint discusses how sleep-wake cycles create a 'metabolic mosaic' that requires us to rethink how we interpret SMR. ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

If anyone at #SEBconference in Antwerp this week wants to hear about field metabolic rates in pelagic fishes (from otolith isotope analysis), I'll be talking on Wednesday - and happy to meet up / chat if schedules allign and you reply to this!

Pelagic Fish Session at SEB: Only a few days left to submit your abstract if your research brings new insights into pelagic species biology and conservation! Check it out 👇 Session: lnkd.in/eu4iQcHw Abstract: lnkd.in/ejV9rRyx

It's amazing to see this book out! Proud to have contributed a chapter, led by Amelia Munson, and with @shaunkillen.bsky.social, on the effects of multiple stressors on animal behaviour. Thank you @bbmwong.bsky.social and @ulrikacandolin.bsky.social for the huge work 🙏

Outstanding meta-analysis of 165 studies led by Izzy Tiddy, examining effects of pollutants on individual sociability and group cohesion in fish. Complex effects observed across various pollutant classes. With Amelia Munson, @cortesedaphne.bsky.social @drtblew.bsky.social ! doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

A few keywords about my research and images of some study species I've been working with 🤿🐟🐠

Habitat size changes can influence reproductive output and offspring traits in wild anemonefish populations - thrilled to see this large field work study from my PhD finally out doi.org/10.1016/j.sc... With @claradiaz @ricardobeldade @shaunkillen @zoescholz & @suzannemills!
