Interested in the ecology, evolution, & conservation of reptiles? I have a FUNDED PhD POSITION, using the latest in acoustic array tech to study the thermal ecology and movement of large temperate snapping turtles. Big datasets and huge animals involved.

@moametz @FredrikJutfelt @DloreSilva @EmilyRLechner @Leon_Pfeufer Curious about decoupling of growth (eg size) and development (maturation indices) and excited to see your results!

[Melanie Massey @ducbobo]

@moametz @FredrikJutfelt @DloreSilva @EmilyRLechner @Leon_Pfeufer In awe!!

[Melanie Massey @ducbobo]

@FredrikJutfelt @DloreSilva @moametz @EmilyRLechner @Leon_Pfeufer Oh my gosh! Incredible set up 🤩

[Karma Nanglu @KNanglu]

Out now in @Ecol_Evol is our paper on the importance of natural history research to topics as varied as education, policy management, and conservation, with a wide array of experts #MuseumMonday https://t.co/14QIbMU3IK 🧵👇

@KirkwoodLab it's incredible how fast it went downhill!

[Melanie Massey @ducbobo]

this site is v strange and confusing right now so this is just a notice letting you know that i'll probably be on much less often - feel free to get in touch any number of other ways (if you know you know!)

@SaveWildBees Can’t help but be reminded of this…

[Fredrik Jutfelt @jutfelt.bsky.social @FredrikJutfelt]

The experiment was a 4 month acclimation to a range of temperatures, and showed that aerobic scope increased up to 18C while growth declined above 12C. We concluded that oxygen transport was not limiting growth at high temperatures, contradicting a central OCLTT prediction.

@FredrikJutfelt This species has TSD right? Curious about the sex temperature reaction norm wrt growth 🤔

[Melanie Massey @ducbobo]

@heydebigale Oh man Philly Airport is terrible 🥲 I’m so sorry!

[Melanie Massey @ducbobo]

@AwesomeBiota Was it silicone? My Fitbit watch strap did this to me 😔

[Melanie Massey @ducbobo]

@belostomatid Hopefully it’s a very silly bug and then you can win an Ignobel as well.

[Melanie Massey @ducbobo]

@TaliaMLM @DavidEvans_ROM @SClaramuntUY Congratulations Talia!

@tessablan11 @SEBiology The visuals 😍

[Melanie Massey @ducbobo]

@AmandaEBates If I’m an administrator one day I’m going to at least give out stickers. ‘Meets expectations’ with a holographic dinosaur sticker is like 1000x better than just ‘meets expectations’ 🦖

🚨🚨New paper alert🚨🚨
Led by @aliczner and in collaboration with @leifr7 & Richard Schuster, we identify priority areas across Canada to conserve at-risk bumblebees under various climate scenarios.
