Unfortunately we found that physiological impacts across life stages limits ecological success 🧪👩🏻‍🔬🐠🌎🐡 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
This illustration depicts north america colored te to burnt orange, highlighting temperature differences across the continent. The 8 north american sturgeon species ring the outside of the map. Each sturgeon species is underlaid by a color which corresponds with dots on the map.  The dots on the map show where thermal tolerance studies were completed, and the size of the dot corresponds to how many studies were completed in that area. Illustration by Madison Earhart.
