How do insects respond to changing climates? Our new review and analysis in @annualreviews.bsky.social suggests that phenological adaptation trumps thermal adaptation.

Congratulations Aaditya🥳🥳🥳

Perfectly timed to coincide with our Thermal Fertility Limit Special Topic Network meeting we’ve received a further 2 years of funding, thank you @eseb.bsky.social! And great work fellow leads @rhondasnook.bsky.social, @liamdougherty.bsky.social and Claudia Fricke.

Thank you Lennart!😍
Let’s catch up soon

Thanks

✨Life update: Excited to start my postdoc with David Berger at Uppsala University, Sweden, exploring how warming affects fertility and adaptive potential in beetles 🌡️🪲
Thanks to Stefan Lüpold and the lab for an amazing 4.8 years, and to Sven och Lilly Lawskis fond for supporting the next chapter 🥳.

Thank you

🎉 I’m delighted to share that the final paper of my PhD is out!

We studied how heat stress affects male and female fertility across reproductive stages in Drosophila melanogaster.

Excited to advertise a shared PhD position at KU Leuven (Belgium) and Mondsee (Austria) with @markusmoest.bsky.social on the genetic basis, plasticity and evolution of melanization in Daphnia from alpine lakes. Apply here: www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jo...

6 years ago I got to do a research visit thanks to the @eseb.bsky.social Godfrey Hewitt Mobility Award. I’m so happy to reunite with the lab I visited in Zurich and my adoptive Swiss parents who took me in 🥰

Looking for a PhD project on sexual selection? Join us at UZH!

Application deadline: 9 June 2025.

🎉 Our new paper is out in Evolution!
We show how sexual selection shapes heat tolerance in Drosophila prolongata.
Males evolved under sperm competition suffer more under heat stress.
Led by @adenardo.bsky.social with @StefanLupold lab members.

Hi could you add me.

Earth breaches 1.5 °C climate limit for the first time: what does it mean? The threshold has been exceeded for only one year so far, but humanity is nearing the end of what many thought was a ‘safe zone’ as climate change worsens.

Extinction of experience among ecologists Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Where are all the field studies?

This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer.

A short 🧵 (and a call for more fieldwork)
