Excited to see our work get recognized as Editor’s Choice in CJZ for April! ⭐️ We really enjoyed exploring new ways of analyzing telemetry data to quantify thermal habitat selection over short and long timescales 🌡️ ❄️ @harknesslab.bsky.social @tmiddel.bsky.social

The proofed version of our CJZ paper is now online! 🐟 We studied patterns of brook trout thermal habitat selection during peak summer temps in 3 Algonquin Provincial Park lakes 🏕️ With @tmiddel.bsky.social & @harknesslab.bsky.social @canjzoology.bsky.social dx.doi.org/10.1139/cjz-2025-0087

Oxygen supersaturation has been reported to protect aquatic animals from heat waves. We tested this in a large collaborative experiment on many species of fish and crustaceans. Our new paper in @plosbiology.org shows that the effect of hyperoxia on thermal tolerance is negligible. Unfortunately.

Raby lab retreat this week at Harkness Lab of Fisheries Research was a great success! Thanks to the ghost of F.E.J. Fry for writing inspiration 👻🐟

A terrific afternoon for fish biology here at #SEBconference ❤️🐟 Great talks by @leeuwisrobin.bsky.social, Moa Metz, and @erinmcstewart.bsky.social about different ways that fish respond to climate warming!

A scientist presents her take-away slide on a large dark stage. It reads: Take-away
• Zebrafish can evolve improved growth at warmer temperatures
• Thermal performance curves can undergo a left or right shift
• Ectothermic vertebrates may adapt to global warming by enhancing performance
• Role of selection in shaping thermal resilence

FINclub research trip going well! 32 people, dozens of fish and invert species, 16 experiments, two dogs and lots of fun. Some photos in thread. 🧪🐟🦑

🚨Preprint alert!🚨 We found that relevant levels of aquatic oxygen supersaturation do not always offer protective benefits to aquatic ectotherms during acute warming. 🌡️ Big collaborative project with A LOT of CTmax trials!!! ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

How do fish evolve to tolerate higher temperatures, and are there trade-offs? We explore these questions in our new paper @natclimate.nature.com led by Anna Andreassen @annahandreassen.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🐟🦑

What are the effects of tagging on fishes? 🐟 Our review + meta-analysis explores intracoelomic tagging effects in fishes. We summarize the existing literature and examine the 2% rule using evidence from a broad representation of all published studies. Preprint link below! 🧵

Are you new to CTmax tests? Are you experienced, but unsure on what to report in your Methods section? Do you think there any other factors at play? 🤔 Then this practical guide is for you! 😎 Glad I could be a part of this effort which could help with studies comparisons! 🤩

We're back in February for more conservation science! Join Dr. Mark Ridgway for the scoop on Algonquin Park lake fish. There's more going on beneath the waters than we thought!
