Little is known about the mechanisms controlling thermal acclimation in fish.

Check out this study exploring possible roles of hormones & skin thermoreception during acclimation in goldsinny wrasse.

How vulnerable are #amphibians to extreme heat? 🐸🌡️

Our paper in @nature.com shows that many amphibians are already overheating, and many more species will be impacted by climate warming globally.

See the thread below for a digest 🧵

The deadline to submit abstracts is approaching!!! ⏰ (March 7th)

Consider submitting an abstract for a talk or poster in our session (A14) if you study the vulnerability of early life stages to environmental stressors! 🐣

The early bird registration deadline is May 16th.
Hey you! Yes...you!
You study early life stages? You like multiple taxa? You should consider presenting in our session: Vulnerability and adaptations of early life stages to environmental stressors (A14).

🚨Deadline : March 7th 🚨

See you at the #SEBCONFERENCE in Antwerp!✌️

Another paper from my PhD where we looked at the short and long term effects of raising embryos at two different temperatures 🐟

Interestingly hypoxia tolerance but not thermal tolerance was shown to be altered in juveniles.
How do early developmental conditions affect stressor resilience in fish later in life?

We investigated this in a new paper lead by @tblanchard.bsky.social! 🧪👩🏻‍🔬🌎🌐🦑

We found that in killifish, sub-optimal developmental temps had lasting negative impacts on hypoxia tolerance later in life 👇🏼
Exposure to sub-optimal temperature during early development decreases hypoxia tolerance in juvenile Fundulus heteroclitus
Summary: Exposing Fundulus heteroclitus to a sub-optimal temperature during development reduces hypoxia tolerance but increases hif1α expression in juvenile fish and has no effect on thermal tolerance...

Spending $20M per year to protect a multibillion dollar fishery is obviously a wise investment - as is apparent to anyone whose intelligence has not been eroded by extremist political ideology.
