Hi all! I've seen an uptick in follows from fellow Federal #Canadian #scientists over the last while, so I figured I'd create a starter pack!

We're still ironing out the administrative details of how to submit and all that, but it's officially in the works and should be available as an option for authors very soon!

Replication studies: a win-win for early-career training and behavioral ecology
Replicating previous research builds confidence that results are real and meaningful. But close replications are rare due to limitations in resources and d

A fantastic initiative from the journal Behavioural Ecology:
A new dedicated section called 'Replication Studies', which will publish results from replications in a short and snappy format.
Excellent stuff @katelaskowski.bsky.social @roseodea.bsky.social @joelpick.bsky.social

This is just wonderful. A comedic exchange for the uninvested. My favourite aspect of the exchange: the keywords in Tattersall's final reply. (Although they aren't in alphabetic order.)

On a two-word scientific paper, and a fascinating (heated) exchange
I’ve blogged before about the shortest scientific papers. Very short papers (a handful to a few dozen words) are usually amusing, but they’re often not very effective at communication. But I’ve jus…

In two weeks I am off to Glasgow for #OSM2026!
I'll be presenting new work on ecosystem effects of disease-driven mass mortalities & how this can influence land-based management approaches to combating #eutrophication.
Who else is attending & would be up for a chat!?

Understanding these physiological mechanisms can help oyster hatcheries maximize survival of their seed during winter months and reduce reliance on food and heating water, ultimately providing for more sustainable aquaculture operations.

Understanding these physiological mechanisms can help oyster hatcheries maximize survival of their seed during winter months and reduce reliance on food and heating water, ultimately providing for more sustainable aquaculture operations.
Our study suggests that juveniles go dormant like adults, but that they use a different physiological strategy. Unlike adults, juveniles appear to stop regulating membrane fluidity during winter and instead mobilize glycogen reserves throughout the winter until the end of dormancy.

New paper out today in @meps-ir.bsky.social: www.int-res.com/abstracts/me...
Adult eastern oysters at their northern limit go dormant in winter by altering the fatty acid composition of their lipid membranes to adjust membrane fluidity.
But we don’t know how juvenile oysters overwinter.

Atlantic Canadians who enjoy a nice feed of oysters may have noticed that big oysters were in short supply at the local markets this year.
I chatted with Vanessa Vander Valk of CBC Radio yesterday about the likely reasons why.

That's Roxy!! She's been with us for a year and a half or so now. They are best buds.
Also, I was thinking about you yesterday! Considering expanding the backyard entomology efforts here & using the property for some proper experiments alongside the iNat stuff. Maybe a Jeff-Paul collab? haha

February 14th is only a few weeks away.
This Valentine's Day, find someone who looks at you the way Roxy looks at Luna when they are each playing with the exact same kind of ball but Roxy really wants the one Luna has just because Luna has it.
They switched soon after I took this photo 😂😂
