When the ocean breathes in the cold 🥶 (-20 °C), snow dances across the deck, the moon lights our way, and we sample zooplankton in the heart of the Arctic polar night.

A mammoth net hauls zooplankton from 4000 m depths in the Nansen Basin—under -20 °C air and howling winds.

Happy to share our latest paper: "Sea surface freshening can suppress the thermal tipping point of marine copepods" in Science of the Total Environment! 🌊❄️
We found that:
1) Survival of Calanus copepods tipped and decreased above temperatures of 14–18 °C.

Sea surface freshening can suppress the thermal tipping point of marine copepods
Tipping points govern species distributions, which could be impacted by ocean warming (OW) and sea surface freshening (SSF). Interactions between thes…

Calanus hyperboreus, the largest Calanus copepod in the world. The huge lipid sac inside the body is a key energy source that fuels the lipid-rich Arctic marine food web.

Great to have this finally out! A whole summer of experiments at @bristolbiosci.bsky.social to look for behavioural and morphological signals of collapse in protists population🔬 Thanks to @duncanobrien.bsky.social @expecocons.bsky.social @dzchilds.bsky.social and John Jackson for the great team work

Multiple ecology faculty positions at @notredame.bsky.social. Apply at apply.interfolio.com/171650. (1/2). 🌎🌐🧪
Multiple Early Career Faculty Positions in Ecology The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for multiple, tenure-track assistant professor positions that will enhance existing institutional excellence in ecology. We are searching broadly for creative and collaborative individuals (1) working at any spatial scale, from local to global, in any system, (2) studying any level of biological organization, from genes to ecosystems, and (3) using any mode of inference, from empirical to theoretical. Applicants should demonstrate research excellence that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries; ongoing growth in the department will emphasize new hires that use quantitative and/or integrative approaches to study ecological processes. Postdoctoral experience is desirable in applicants. Successful candidates will engage with and benefit from UNDERC, Notre Dame’s 8000-acre environmental field station and home to NEON’s Great Lakes domain, superb on-campus chemical and genomic analytical facilities, an experimental research facility located close to campus, cross-disciplinary interactions through multiple centers and institutes including the Environmental Change Initiative, and a unique Interdisciplinary Graduate Training Program in Environment and Society. New faculty will benefit from Notre Dame’s recent campus-wide Strategic Framework that included the Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative. Modern research facilities exist in a new environmental research building, which opened in 2025.

"During the workshop, Khuong Dinh (University of Oslo), an ecotoxicologist, raised a simple question to everyone, ‘How do you define biodiversity?’ As it turned out, everyone had a slightly different answer."

Reconsidering space-for-time substitution in climate change ecology:
This can be misleading, not just in the magnitude but in the direction of effects

Reconsidering space-for-time substitution in climate change ecology - Nature Climate Change
Ecologists often leverage patterns observed across spatial climate gradients to predict the impacts of climate change (space-for-time substitution). We highlight evidence that this can be misleading n...
