@P_Taillardat @ntu_ase Congrats Pierre!! 👏

[Lukas Schuster @LSchuster26]

Happy World Wetlands Day! Let’s all appreciate and protect these wonderful and incredibly important ecosystems 💧 🐸🌿

[Lukas Schuster @LSchuster26]

Great to get this project started! 🙌

Agricultural ponds in the USA and Australia emit nearly double the amount of methane reported in their national greenhouse gas inventories.

How does an individuals metabolic rate influence the outcome of competitive interactions? @LSchuster26 @djm_MEEG @Craig_R_White used a model species to investigate this in the field. Outcomes were variable and probably relate to resource delivery. https://t.co/hF6KdaOHMy

[Lukas Schuster @LSchuster26]

How does metabolic rate affect intraspecific competition in the field? My fourth and final PhD chapter is out now in Ecology and Evolution. Read it here: https://t.co/57bEnW4ErQ

[Geometric Biology @GeometricBiol]

How does metabolism affect population sizes? In a rare test of the theory @LSchuster26 Hayley Cameron @djm_MEEG @Craig_R_White found unexpectedly populations with moderate metabolic rates supported more individuals than those with lower metabolic rates. https://t.co/FhaMQsG8PP

[Monash Science @Monash_Science]

New research led by scientists from @MonashUni's @GeometricBiol challenges our understanding of how metabolic rate affects population dynamics.

[Geometric Biology @GeometricBiol]

A strong and consistent metabolic response to different environments show that metabolic rate is plastic, but @LSchuster26 @djm_MEEG and @Craig_R_White show that such plasticity is not always adaptive. https://t.co/JYG0R0LNa7 #MonashEvolution

[Lukas Schuster @LSchuster26]

Is plasticity in metabolic rate adaptive in the field? We find no evidence for adaptive metabolic plasticity by formally estimating selection on metabolic rate under different environmental conditions combined with estimates of plasticity. https://t.co/N1f0tkNKoR

Would welcome any enthusiast applicants for these...

Happy to see so many people reading our paper on the influence of food, body size, and fragmentation on metabolic rate in #Bugula! Read it here -> https://t.co/TsDcaHSAhD

[Lukas Schuster @LSchuster26]

This is shocking..

[Dr. Nyssa Silbiger @NSilbiger]

New paper by @Amber_D_Stubler and myself shows that Unprofessional peer reviews disproportionately harm underrepresented groups in #STEM.
Please help us remove the culture of toxic #peerreview.

Last field experiment (chapter 4) for my PhD is done!! Gonna miss this view tho! Now let’s see if and how metabolism affects competition in Bugula! 🤼‍♂️
