6/6 #BOU2023 #Sesh4 Our experiments suggested that temperature and yolk thyroid hormones appear to induce plasticity independently of each other. Given the functions of thyroid hormones on metabolism and thermoregulation, more may be revealed by further studies.

1/6 #BOU2023 #Sesh4 Rising temperature can impact wild birds and may induce developmental and phenotypic plasticity, but can mothers use maternally-transmitted substances, such as yolk #ThyroidHormones to adaptively shape offspring phenotype?

5/6 #BOU2023 #Sesh4 In pied flycatchers, nestlings fledged more successfully in warmer boxes and heating accelerated telomere shortening. Yet, we found no evidence that yolk thyroid hormones may modulate effects of temperature or heating.

In the review, we explain why we think the discrepancies in previous studies of maternal hormones should reflect the true complex, interesting nature of such pathways of developmental plasticity.

This paper is not new, but I think is a paper that every scientist should read, regardless of your career stage and discipline. If you have, read it again.

@RuuskanenSuvi I was exactly puzzled by the crab!

[Bin-Yan Hsu @binyannhsu]

No matter how other people see it and whether I reveal my name on my review, to me a reviewer's job is to help improve the manuscript constructively and I am therefore always very careful on what I write on my review report.

[Bin-Yan Hsu @binyannhsu]

A very good and serious question that has been in my mind. I am not against it but I don't and will not do it because of many many reasons.

@TomSarraude @RuuskanenSuvi Congrats, Tom!

Apparently, however uncomfortable I am, I have to uncheck the "Protect your Tweets" box.

Feel free to disseminate: We are looking for master students to do some phylogenetic comparative analyses on thyroid hormones and life-history traits with us. Please find details at:

Our comment on a #metaanalysis on transgenerational effects is out @Ecology_Letters. We identified biases in the search, data & analyses questioning the generality of the results & provided a full reanalysis. We need more transparency in #evidencesynthesis https://t.co/3odpNtzJHO

Looking forward to reading it!

This bunch (#SQuID) & Celine Teplitsky just got a paper accepted that will surely become our most heavily abused contribution to science. Here's the title:
