4/ 🌊 Despite changes in body size and community composition, total zooplankton biomass & abundance remained stable. This suggests compensatory effects—some species thrive as others shrink

3/ 🔬 Different taxa responded differently. Larger species (e.g., copepoda) showed the steepest declines in body size. But for some, this response wasn’t linear - certain taxa had breakpoints where size dropped more sharply at higher temps! We did not find an effect of seasons

2/ 🦠📉 We found that warming consistently reduced zooplankton body size at both the community and population levels. This aligns with the TSR, which predicts smaller body sizes in warmer conditions.

Very excited to see the mesocosms facilities here at @universityofessex.bsky.social #freshwater #science. Thanks Pablo to show me around!💧🕸🌱

Big thanks to all co-authors from UNIS, Oslo Uni & @oxfordbiology.bsky.social for making this exciting project happen! @khuongdinh.bsky.social @michcjackson.bsky.social , Mathieu Lutier, Martin Heimböck, Jan Heuschele, & Janne Søreide! Project and fellowship founded by Norges forskningsråd

Our study shows that interactions among the 3 stressors can intensify impacts on Arctic copepods during the often-overlooked #polarnight. Understanding these dynamics is vital for preserving the fragile #Arctic ecosystems under rapid #ClimateChange

We found that continuous exposure to stressors drastically reduces copepod survival compared to pulse exposure and that #Recovery phases play a key role in copepod resilience

I am very happy to share our new paper on the effects of multiple stressors on Arctic copepods during polar nights, just published in Ecology & Evolution 🧾🧊 🧪🌏https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.11673 #ArcticResearch #ClimateChange

This week I completed the First Aid at Work Level 3 Award Qualification (RQF) at @uniofexeter.bsky.social ,accredited by Ofqual and I am now a certified University First Aider #FirstAid #Safety #Training 🩻🦠🩹🧾

great day out today assessing the #river sites for our #freshwater quality #Quantum project! It was fantastic to meet the teams in person too (Penny Jones, Ana Castro-Castellon, Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern, Victoria Hussey et al.) #aquatic #pollution #farming #WomenInSTEM 💧🐄🧪

Spent the afternoon exploring #Exeter's #ponds and I found some beautiful female #copepods! #pondLife #zooplankton 🌱💧🧪

Great talk by BuntuFanteso at the @oxfordbiology.bsky.social
postgraduate symposium about his #PhD thesis on the effects of multiple #stressors on #freshwater ecosystems, from #uk to #africa! Very interesting ideas and plans. Looking forward to see the results #ECRs #aquatic

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Just like in #GoT, winter is coming! Our new opinion paper on Global Change Biology discusses about this interesting topic: "Winter is coming: Interactions of multiple #stressors in #winter and implications for the natural world" ❄️
