Out now in Ecology and Evolution is our paper on the importance of natural history research to topics as varied as education, policy management, and conservation, with a wide array of experts #MuseumMonday onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… 🧵👇

🐍 Stephen Lougheed and I are looking for a PhD student to study the sociality of Grey Ratsnakes! 🐍

The position starts in January 2024. Check out the ad and our lab websites for more details. Please share (RT) and apply by Sept 30!

this site is v strange and confusing right now so this is just a notice letting you know that i'll probably be on much less often - feel free to get in touch any number of other ways (if you know you know!)

The experiment was a 4 month acclimation to a range of temperatures, and showed that aerobic scope increased up to 18C while growth declined above 12C. We concluded that oxygen transport was not limiting growth at high temperatures, contradicting a central OCLTT prediction.

🚨🚨New paper alert🚨🚨
Led by @aliczner and in collaboration with Leif Richardson & Richard Schuster, we identify priority areas across Canada to conserve at-risk bumblebees under various climate scenarios.

Listening to the inspiring Melanie Massey about the Diversity of Nature and the joy and meaning of empowering BIPOC to engage in science through workshops and camps for youth.

Melanie Massey blew us away with her description of efforts to engage BIPOC students in nature through outreach. And how there is so much more to science than the metrics we typically think of. #IDEA Society of Systematic Biologists SSE American Naturalist
