Conservation physiology researchers typically use lab or field-based approaches, which are often seen as polar and distinct. This review advocates for an integrative approach across the lab-field continuum, to better inform conservation policy and practice.

Newest lab research:
Up to 6% of the wild birds - in all 5 species we looked at - showed a different sex morphology than what their blood tests (read: chromosomes) told us. Sex is not simple!

White-nose syndrome is a major threat to hibernating bats. This new research suggests that tri-colored bats with thermally unstable roosts may be less susceptible to white-nose syndrome due to their behavioural and roosting characteristics.

"The result is akin to the over-prescription of antibiotics: in our attempt to eliminate all [forest] fires, we have only eliminated the less intense fires and instead selected for primarily the most extreme events and created higher fuel loads and more suppression-resistant fires."🧪🌏
Fire suppression makes wildfires more severe and accentuates impacts of climate change and fuel accumulation - Nature Communications
Fire suppression removes less-extreme wildfires, concentrating fires under extreme conditions. The authors use model simulations to show how this “suppression bias” intensifies fire behavior and effec...
