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.

The 1st Canadian Conference on #OpenScience and #OpenScholarship is happening October 9 -10, 2025!

PKP, @erudit.org, and #CoalitionPublica are pleased to be partner contributors to this event.

Livestreaming will be on!

From policy to practice: progress towards data- and code-sharing in ecology and evolution | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Data and code are essential for ensuring the credibility of scientific results and facilitating reproducibility, areas in which journal sharing policies play a crucial role. However, in ecology and evolution, we still do not know how widespread data- and ...

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB!

We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals

We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Only acceptable in cases where the data are sensitive and there are no suitable repositories for them that support controlled access. But no excuse if the data can be shared openly!

🔧 Moving Forward

Clearer, accessible data/code-sharing policies are key. Researchers, journals, and institutions must collaborate. Recruiting dedicated data editors can help ensure compliance and improve quality.

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB!

🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility.

~10 years after the experiments, the paper is finally ready 😅😅

Take home: nothing beats patient collaborators 😆

Thanks @josefin-sundin.bsky.social @BenSpeers-Roesch @itchyshin.bsky.social @TimClark @SandraBinning!!

Come see us in Montréal, Canada, for #Metascience2027!! 🥳🥳🥳

Big announcement at #metascience2025 today!

Great to see CIHR's Alison Bourgon discussing research excellence, new funding to support research on research in Canada, and opportunities to consider multiple ways of knowing in metascience. #metascience2025

'Data is really the topic of the day'

- Maria Leptin, President ERC at #metascience2025

👏👏👏👏

Great to see African open resources highlighted at #Metascience2025

Would be awesome! I totally failed to send you the info for our Canadian lunch today 😅🥲. Will look for you at the poster session / apéro.

Happy Canada day from the Canadian contingent at #Metascience2025!

Shout out to SORTEE @sortee.bsky.social by @fidlerfm.bsky.social during the morning plenary at #metascience2025 👏👏

Coming to #Metascience2025? Make sure to visit our stall for a chat and some swag! We are also gathering your ideas for our introductory course on RRA - what do you think is essential to cover in a course on responsible research assessment basics? Contribute at bit.ly/DORA-Course!

Proud of Canada's Federal Granting Agencies for sending a large contingent to #metascience2025! Below, Matthew Lucas from SSHRC presenting our work to advance #openscience, metaresearch, and responsible research assessment.

What a pleasant surprise to meet a fellow SORTEE @sortee.bsky.social member at #metascience2025! Thanks Zuzanna Zagrodska for reaching out at the coffee break. Soon, @anticac.bsky.social to join too!

#Metascience2025 quote of the day:

'Changing a university is like moving a graveyard. It's very challenging and don't expect any help from within!'

If you're at #Metascience2025, did you realise that @plosbiology.org has a specific article type, the Meta-Research Article, for #metascience? Have a chat to our meta-research editor @roliroberts.bsky.social and check out the 73 articles that we've published over the years: plos.io/3I4avRL

👏👏 to stirring the pot

Reminder to get in touch if you would like to meet fellow #metascience2025 attendees with ties to Canada! Pls share

👍 You will be missed!

Massive crowd for the #metascience2025 kickoff at UCL in London. @jameswilsdon.bsky.social as energetic as ever as he welcomes the 800+ delegates here!

If you’re in London and interested in metascience-y things, there’s more going on than just the official conference!
Please help spread the word!

🚨Preprint alert!🚨

We found that relevant levels of aquatic oxygen supersaturation do not always offer protective benefits to aquatic ectotherms during acute warming. 🌡️

Systemic territoriality in academia: The Gollum effect’s impact on scientific research and careers Scientific progress depends on open collaboration and thus resource sharing, but possessive and territorial behaviors, which we call the Gollum Effect, threaten this ideal.

New paper coins the "Gollum effect" in reference to systemic territoriality in academia, behaviour that is anthitetical to scientific collaboration, resource sharing, and open knowledge exchange. Check out the stats! Most respondents from #ecoevo
