By-The-Wind-Sailors Marazion was awash with thousands of Wind Sailors this afternoon, these Hydrozoa are free floating animals that live out to sea in vast numbers. They primarily feed on plankton and use nematocyst toxin to catch their prey, so do wash your hands afterwards if you pick them up.

Wind Sailors in vast numbers along the beaches of Marazion in Cornwall today.

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.

It is accompanied by an R package (#heartbeatr) now live on CRAN! 🫀 It automates heartbeat detection and quality control — turning what used to take months of manual work into just a few days. A game-changer for large-scale physiological studies. cran.r-project.org/package=hear...

Proud to announce our first R package, just published in CRAN! (cran.r-project.org/package=hear...). It streamlines heart rate analysis collected with the PULSE system, which we also developed and can be used to monitor the cardiac performance of mollusks and crustaceans (electricblue.eu/pulse).

Climate change threatens even the tough ones. Our new study shows that even Ascophyllum nodosum, a tough brown seaweed, struggles with rapid temperature swings during low tides, and populations across Europe vary in their heat tolerance. Read more here: jecologyblog.com/2025/05/20/c...

Right in front of our eyes, we’re seeing the destruction of the US, and the beginning of a dictatorship run by a career criminal & his enablers, drawn from the worst among us. Nobody seems to be taking effective action against this, while many calmly accept this fate like lambs led to the slaughter.

Today we finished the transplants of the algae we collected yesterday. Some were secured with specially designed 3D printed holders. Others grew on bricks that we transported and glued to the rock. Let’s see how they do in the next months.
