New research by Essie Rodgers (she/her) Franklin EcoLab & Daniel Noble 🇦🇺🇨🇦 shows diving reptiles are not going to fare well in warmer waters. A +1°C in water temp decreases diver duration by 11%! 🥵jeb.biologists.org/content/224/Su…

My new study out in Aquaculture investigated the impact of dietary acidification on the energy cost of digestion, acid base regulation and growth in juvenile barramundi. “A spoonful of acid helps the fish food cost less!” Here’s the summary (1): doi.org/10.1016/j.aqua…

Check out our new research on the physiology of the amazing scarlet-sided pobblebonk - one of the world's remarkable 'acid frogs'!

Australia’s scarlet-sided pobblebonk tadpoles live in water so acidic – with a pH similar to human stomach acid – that it should be deadly newscientist.com/article/233138…

Such a privilege to yarn with Mike Pingleton and Dr Alex Krohn on all things acid frogs, Wallum ecosystems, and the ecophysiology of pobblebonks... Thanks guys🐸 Check it out on So Much Pingle | A Herpetology podcast: somuchpingle.com/2022/08/14/epi… Paper link: journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

My first PhD chapter was just published in Biology Letters. We found the significant DNA damage/repair that tadpoles experience after UV exposure can depend on their thermal environment, but not always - and the exact nature is species-dependant ☀️🧬(1/4) doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2…

OPINION Carryover effects from environmental change in early life: an overlooked driver of the amphibian extinction crisis? 📄 bit.ly/40qaJWE @uqrcram1 Franklin EcoLab Coen Hird UQ Science

Accepted article🐸!! We argued that carryover effects (delayed effects of environment on organism) are often overlooked in studies that investigate environmental drivers of amphibian declines - which tend to focus on single life-history stages bit.ly/40qaJWE (1/4)

Frog science hot off the press! A story about 🐸🧬🌞❄️ We found that tadpoles raised in cold waters can protect themselves against the harmful effects of UV exposure that occurs at cold temperatures - strong evidence of thermal acclimation! (1/4) dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jthe…

New paper in press Journal of Experimental Biology - we discussed how a focus on means in experimental biology could constrain the scope of inquiry. We showed how quantile regression (QR) can be a useful statistical tool for exploring this. 1/7 Kaitlin Barham Franklin EcoLab doi.org/10.1242/jeb.24…
