In a new pub with @asuddaby.bsky.social and @emilyahardison.bsky.social, we highlight small, standing water bodies (ponds) and their resident aquatic organisms (tadpoles) as powerful systems to understand host-microbe-environment interactions. 💧🐸🌾🦠 academic.oup.com/icb/article-...
Conceptual figure depicting various approaches to understand host-microbe interactions across environments. The figure contains 3 columns, with the first depicting observational field studies across land use gradients (skyscrapers to depict cities, and trees to depict natural landscapes). In the middle are mesocosm experiments in the field, or large pools of water that can artificially re-create ponds. In the final column are lab-based studies, where organisms are held in small tanks in the lab.

🔥 New paper out now! Do ectotherms actually adjust their physiology to cope with daily temperature swings? Our latest meta-analysis suggests… not really. Check it out now: doi.org/10.1098/rstb... and the other great studies in this special issues on #EmbracingVariability #PhilTransB#ThermalBiology

Unresponsive to change: Ectotherms fail to adjust physiology to daily temperature variation
Abstract. Daily temperature fluctuations are a ubiquitous feature of natural environments, yet our understanding of how ectotherms respond to thermal varia

New paper with @kfowlerfinn.bsky.social and team in Ecology Letters! Hotter developmental temperatures reduce survival in juvenile insects, but also enhance adult fertility enough to potentially avoid population declines in warming climates doi.org/10.1111/ele.... #evosky #ecology #climatechange

Carryover Effects on Reproduction Can Buffer Against Mortality‐Driven Population Declines at Elevated Developmental Temperatures
We show that hotter juvenile temperatures can increase adult fertility in an emerging model insect system. These reproductive benefits may be crucial for insect populations to avoid extinction during...

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)
NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.

It was a big week in the lab, with two PhD defenses! Congrats to two new Doctors! Dr. Karen Peralta Martinez and Dr. Elizabeth Rudzki @karenyperalta.bsky.social @zoomingbio.bsky.social ✨🧬🏛️🧐🎉

NEW: We obtained the directions NSF program officers are following to review all grants for compliance with the Trump EOs and the turmoil it has created in an agency mandated to broaden STEM participation. Our story: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Exclusive: how NSF is scouring research grants for violations of Trump’s orders
The US National Science Foundation has unfrozen grant funding, but it continues to scrutinize research projects, sowing turmoil.

It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.

well, I’ve finally made the switch, so here I am 🙃 I’m a fish biologist, doing ecophysiology, aquatic tracking (everything telemetry) and lots of other stuff. From salmon to hawkfish to eel to tuna to sharks 🐟 passionate about conservation of aquatic ecosystems 🌊 🤍
