Field stations are the inspirational lifeblood of many research projects, providing essential facilities and infrastructure, and in our new Perspective series researchers from across the globe tell us about the incredible field stations where they work journals.biologists.com/jeb/collecti...
The Field Station Perspective series logo. The logo shows four images arranged in four quarters of a circle. The top right quarter shows a cartoon of a seal with icy mountains behind. The quadrant is coloured in shades of blue and white. The bottom right quadrant shows a beetle (black), the quadrant is yellow. The bottom left quadrant shows a salmon leaping above a wave; the quadrant is coloured shades of teal. The top left quadrant shows an emu running across savannah with the sun behind in the sky; the quadrant is in shades of red.

The USDA postdoc fellowship is back! If you're interested in studying eutrophication issues in working lands, let's write a proposal together. Check my lab webpage for how to get in touch (ecostoich.weebly.com/join.html).

Are you or someone you know looking for a funded MS or PhD position in freshwater ecology starting August 2025? Consider applying to work with me & collaborate on a project linking river oxygen dynamics with freshwater biodiversity. More info/how to apply: www.hotchkisslab.com/opportunitie... 💧🌎👩‍🔬
Conceptual diagram showing our funded research plan, from ecosystem ecology to population and organismal ecology, focused on understanding the influence of climate change and deforestation on reach/microhabitat biogeochemistry, hellbender population density and age structure, and individual hellbender fitness and behavior (parental self-care vs. self-maintenance, cannibalism). Images show reach-scale river microhabitats that support fish, mussels, and hellbenders with dissolved oxygen sensors deployed at the stream bottom and within the water column; different ages of hellbenders in a population; different life stages of hellbenders; and predictive plots for how dissolved oxygen will vary over space and time due to respiration, declines in population density and increasing % of old adults with cannibalism, the trade-off between self-maintenance and parental care with changes in dissolved oxygen due to predicted increases in cannibalism with decreasing oxygen levels.
