🌡️ How do males & females respond to ocean warming? 🌡️ In a keystone amphipod, females show higher thermal tolerance, while males exhibited reduced plasticity under heat stress.🦐 Warming may skew sex ratios, threatening population stability.⚠️ 🌊 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... @globalchangebio.bsky.social

Extremely proud of this work, led by #PhD student @joanaff.bsky.social ! Sex matters under #ocean #warming 🌊 In amphipods, females outperform males in heat tolerance & metabolic plasticity. Warming may skew sex ratios toward females. New in @globalchangebio.bsky.social🌍 doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

New paper! We show that in situ responses of the common goby to #seasonal change vary even across small-scale #latitudinal gradients. Southern #populations exhibit higher vulnerability than their northern counterparts, a pattern driven by reduced metabolic plasticity and increased #cellular damage.

Oxygen limitation is considered a key mechanism of #ThermalTolerance. @dianasmadeira.bsky.social explores how a @plosbiology.org study challenges this idea, showing minimal protective effects of O2 supersaturation in heat-stressed #aquatic #ectotherms 🧪 Paper: plos.io/43hzMQa Primer: plos.io/3XeUtbS
The effects of temperature on organismal performance are depicted using thermal performance curves, where performance is greatest at the optimal temperature and starts to decrease toward cooler or warmer temperatures, reflecting the thermal window (tolerable range of temperatures) of the species. Briefly, the Oxygen and Capacity Limited Thermal Tolerance hypothesis proposes that oxygen limitation explains the performance decline at high temperatures and sets the first boundary for thermal limits across ectotherms. This is due to a mismatch between the oxygen demand of the organism and the capacity of the cardiorespiratory system to supply oxygen to tissues when the organism is under warming. This concept is central to predict species responses to warming. As oxygen supersaturation in water has been shown to alleviate oxygen supply limitations by increasing maximum rates of oxygen transport in blood, Raby and colleagues (2025) tested the effects of oxygen supersaturation on thermal tolerance across 14 aquatic species. The authors found that it had negligible effects on upper thermal limits, challenging the oxygen limitation hypothesis as a universal mechanism underpinning thermal tolerance of aquatic ectotherms. The authors highlight that oxygen supersaturation in water, a naturally occurring phenomenon in shallow waters, may not protect aquatic species from the effects of extreme heat.
