📣 Calling fish biologists & conservation scientists!

We’re convening a session at #ICBF2026 (UBC, Vancouver):
Bridging experimental biology & conservation

If your research connects mechanism to real-world application- from lab to field- we want your abstract!

Apply by March 3rd! 🐟🌎

When studying animal physiology we carefully control temperature, oxygen…but often ignore who animals live with.

Social context such as parents (1), social environment (2), litter mates (3) can shape physiology and later plasticity (4). We discuss it in this commentary 👉 doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

Further integrating social context into comparative and environmental physiology Summary: Social environments affect all aspects of animal physiology. We highlight how overlooking social effects might lead to inaccurate physiology-based predictions of species’ responses to environ...

🚨New paper out now! Excited to see this commentary, led by @shaunkillen.bsky.social, showing that social context is key in comparative physiology and must be integrated! Read more here: doi.org/10.1242/jeb.... #ComparativePhysiology #Behaviour #Ecophysiology @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk @jexpbiol.bsky.social

We face two potential missteps in ecophysiology: 1) measuring animals under socially unrealistic conditions & 2) extrapolating results to nature, where social dynamics alter trait expression, plasticity, & evolutionary outcomes. Our new commentary in @jexpbiol.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

Fisheries can drive selection, but what about small-scale ornamental fisheries? Our new study shows Amazonian fishes interact w/ traps in species- & environment-specific ways, hinting at overlooked selective potential.

Incredibly excited to travel to Japan tomorrow for the Japanese Society of Fisheries Science Spring Meeting! Thank you JSFS for hosting and @thefsbi.bsky.social for allowing me to represent you! The FSBI have also kindly sent me goodies to distribute. Please stay tuned for talk and merch! 🐟 🌸

Fantastic sunny day up at @sceneuog.bsky.social running our first ever Aquatic Research Away Day! Great talks and discussions at our beautiful field station- thank you for hosting us! @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk

Hi Steve, I’d love to be added please!

Creek 🎣 These are great!

Non-English languages enrich scientific knowledge: The example of economic costs of biological invasions We contend that the exclusive focus on the English language in scientific research might hinder effective communication between scientists and practit…

Science is not only done in English!!
We show that by doing searches in other languages we increased our understanding of the $ cost of invasive species (by a lot!!)
This is Specially important in areas where English is not widely spoken www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Could I please be added? My research is based in the Brazilian Amazon and I work on ecology and fish ecophysiology! 🐠 🐟 🌴

Please could I be added? Thank you! 🐠

Hi Colin, could I be added please? Thank you!

I’d love to be added please!

This is great! I would love to be added please.
