🚨New paper out now! Excited to see this commentary, led by @shaunkillen.bsky.social, showing that social context is key in comparative physiology and must be integrated! Read more here: doi.org/10.1242/jeb.... #ComparativePhysiology #Behaviour #Ecophysiology @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk @jexpbiol.bsky.social

Further integrating social context into comparative and environmental physiology
Summary: Social environments affect all aspects of animal physiology. We highlight how overlooking social effects might lead to inaccurate physiology-based predictions of species’ responses to environ...

We face two potential missteps in ecophysiology: 1) measuring animals under socially unrealistic conditions & 2) extrapolating results to nature, where social dynamics alter trait expression, plasticity, & evolutionary outcomes. Our new commentary in @jexpbiol.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

When studying animal physiology we carefully control temperature, oxygen…but often ignore who animals live with. Social context such as parents (1), social environment (2), litter mates (3) can shape physiology and later plasticity (4). We discuss it in this commentary 👉 doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

Our new study: territorial cichlids ramped up metabolic rate around conspecifics, while cardinal tetras showed little change. And only in tetras did individual sociability relate to metabolic rate. Energetic consequences of “social living” depend on social system. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🧵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!

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 🙏
