Not all winter warming is equal: steady, mild winters increase activity and can cause molecular damage, but short, warm spells have little effect on wall lizards 🦎

Sleeping beauty awakened: Experimental winter warming increases activity with signs of potential DNA damage in common wall lizards
Winter is warming faster than summer, posing substantial threat to hibernating ectotherms, whose physiology depends directly on environmental conditions. While the effects of active season warming are...

A big week for our research group! The first paper from @miaryras.bsky.social's PhD thesis has been accepted. Looking forward to sharing some nice results about the effects of winter warming on wall lizard behaviour and physiology very soon. Well done Miary! 🤩

Big milestone for me - the 1st MacLeod Lab get-together! @miaryras.bsky.social & I have been a dynamic duo for 3 years but we are now joined by Charlotte (cosupervised w/ @asutto.bsky.social) & MRes students, Keya & Sacheus. Research is even more fun when you’re part of such a great team 🤩
