Our study offers crucial insights into how wild populations may fare amid ongoing climate change, revealing how life history trajectories are shaped by interacting climate stressors and prevailing environmental conditions. Highly relevant as extreme events increase in frequency and intensity! ⛈️ ❄️ 🔥

Combined effects can worsen outcomes! When chicks face extreme heat + heavy rain, their mass at fledging can reduce dramatically (up to 27% 🔥). Timing is also important. Late broods within a season are predicted to suffer the most, fledging up to 35% lighter under extreme heat and rain ⛈️

We show that cold snaps hit young hatchlings hardest, while older nestlings are more affected by extreme rain and heat — likely because these conditions indirectly influence the abundance and activity of caterpillars, the great tit’s main food source 🐛

Thank you so much!!

The review also has comprehensive descriptions of the structure and function of the receptor. Along with how it was discovered and how it came to be ✨

There's more about wound healing 🩹 in there too, with a special focus on zebrafish 🐟 research! @FrontCellDevBio
