Three more weeks left to submit your paper to @thermal-biology.bsky.social for our special issue on Ontogenetic variation in thermal biology 🦉🦫☀️❄️

Animal brains don’t think in a vacuum, they think in heatwaves & hypoxia, and around predators, parasites, and social groups. Our new review maps mechanisms, timescales, and gaps for understanding animal cognition in changing environments: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lau5Esvgs...

Updated deadline to October 15th for our Special Issue on ontogenetic variation in thermal biology! @thermal-biology.bsky.social

We have extended the deadline to OCTOBER 15th!!!

A highly comprehensive set of papers across the field of thermal biology. Congratulations to Guest Editors, authors and reviewers @sgiroud.bsky.social @julianowack.bsky.social

Great poster on hibernators latitudinal body size gradient (Bergmann rule) from Korben Moelter, student at the NMU Energetics Lab, at the 2025 Michigan Wildlife Society Chapter Meeting. Also first communication of the Lab on some work done at NMU. Glad to see this happy face! Very proud as well 😊🙃

There is still time to apply for this position! Great fit for students interested in combining evolutionary and eco-physiology theory to find solutions that promote pollinators in a warming world. Please distribute in your networks. Details 👇 🐝🦟 ☀️🌡

🚨Postdoc Opportunity🚨

We're hiring a 2 yr postdoc at Ecophy-CEBC (CNRS, France) to study coastal salinization and its impacts on amphibians 🐸🧂
If you have expertise in ecology/ecophysiology, reach out! Feel free to contact François Brischoux with any questions.

Please share with your networks 🙏

Vulnerability of amphibians to global warming - Nature A 4 °C global temperature increase would push 7.5% of amphibian species beyond their physiological limits.

Vulnerability of amphibians to global warming | Nature 🌎🧪

New paper in @nature.com led by @patricepottier.bsky.social! We demonstrated global vulnerability of amphibians to warming, threatening 10% of >5,000 species examined. How did we do it? See thread🧵

Welcome to our newest Associate Editor Erika Eliason!

As an ecological physiologist, Erika investigates how environmental stressors impact aquatic ectotherms. Her work informs conservation policy and the management of natural resources.

The elongate tail of a ray

What is the function of the elongate tail in elasmobranch #rays? A 🧵 and a new hypothesis. A paper with @juliachaumel.bsky.social in @royalsociety.org Proceedings B (shorturl.at/PmfYD) shows that the tail of cownose rays (and a few other species studied so far) has an elaborate lateral line.
