Seasonal increase in blood serum osmolality reflects environmental harshness in the striped mouse: a decade-long field study Highlighted Article: Osmolality is a biomarker for dehydration in mammals: data from 12 years show that striped mice have increased blood osmolality during the dry season, especially when food availab...

Here we show - using long-term data of 12 years - that serum osmolality increases in striped mice in the dry season, and the harsher the dry season, the stronger the increase, indicating dehydration. @antoinestier.bsky.social @iphc-strasbourg.bsky.social

Point of View: To be, or not to be, part-time in academia Part-time working can be beneficial for individual academics, and also for academia as a whole.

To be, or not to be, part-time in academia?
This is a tricky question that has faced many of us and in @elife.bsky.social we discuss the benefits and challenges of being part-time. With @emiliapsantos.bsky.social and a fantastic, interdisciplinary team!

70 years of data show extreme heat is already wiping out tropical bird populations A study using more than 90,000 scientific observations shows Earth is getting too hot for many tropical birds.

I usually tell people that *so far*, habitat loss, not climate change, has been the major driver of bird population declines... but now we're starting to get analyses directly connecting bird declines to extreme weather events fueled by climate change. 🪶 theconversation.com/70-years-of-...

Comparative drawing of penguins diving under high or low krill availability. Under high krill availability we can see that the penguins dive less deep, for shorter bouts, and with less distance and duration between bouts. The prey capture within bouts remains constant under high and low krill availability though.

New paper:
contrasting Adélie penguin foraging behaviour during years of high and low krill availability
