Could mortality in reintroduced populations be linked to an altered gut microbiome? What are the implications for conservation? Read this study on marmots to find out! Read it here: doi.org/10.1093/conphys/coae… #CaptiveBreeding #Microbiome 🦠

Happy to announce the publication of the first chapter from my PhD!! Here we show evidence of co-gradient variation within a coral reef #fish on the #GBR across a #thermal gradient. Also, happy to announce that the article is #OpenAccess ! @DrJDonel DOI: doi.org/10.1093/conphys/coae…

I would also like to thank the developers of the @respR_pkg for developing a fantastic package that can be used for extracting data from respirometry experiments while ensuring proper QC. I highly recommend the package to anyone conducting respirometry experiments. #physiology

Lastly, a big thank you to @SiqueiraAleC for running a R map making workshop @jcu many moons ago that led to the creation of the map figures in this publication.

Species’ #ClimateChange responses depend on collective responses of populations, yet intraspecific variation is rarely studied in marine species. This study explores thermal performance differences between coral reef damselfish populations. DOI: doi.org/10.1093/conphys/coae…

Happening NOW in the central Red Sea. 100% of corals are bleaching. Devastating, heartbreaking.

New paper🚨! In #transgenerational #plasticity, does it matter if parents are exposed to #warming during early life vs at reproduction only? Spoiler alert: yes! Find out more at @RSocPublishing royalsocietypublishing.org/d… @celiaschunter @DrJDonel @timothyISBL @SWIMSHKU

I've been advised to avoid the phrase: "No previous studies have investigated..." It's a cheap hook to claim the value of your study. Here are 5 approaches I use in my writing instead:

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

🌎 The Museum recently welcomed a sediment core from the lakebed of tiny Crawford Lake to the collections. Within the layers of this core is a recorded history of human interactions and impacts on the planet going back centuries. #EarthDay #ClimateChange #Anthropocene
