More Oxygen Won’t Save Fish from Warming Waters Trent study helps inform long-standing theory about increasing oxygen levels in higher water temperatures to support heat tolerance in aquatic species

In this new study, we provide new data relevant to the debate about whether oxygen limitation is a universal driver of thermal tolerance in water breathing animals.

Home is where the heat is (for brook trout that is)

Intrigued? Then check out this latest #ConPhys in Action piece, explaining the importance of local conditions to 🐟 temperature tolerance, and therefore for #Conservation planning.

It was a pleasure to be Erin's research assistant on this project in 2021! Here are some of the amazing and variable streams we visited during our fieldwork.

Species’ adaptability to climate change will depend on individual and population-level responses to heat stress. This study quantified thermal tolerance of wild trout populations and identified factors affecting interpopulation variation

How much does upper thermal tolerance vary among wild populations of brook trout? What drives this variation? 🌑️
