New preprint! Strong but variable seasonal acclimation of thermal limits in Lake Champlain calanoid copepods. Really excited to get this out - our first steps into the freshwater realm!

One semester down (and what a semester it was…). A definite bright spot, however, has been watching our lab group grow! Looking forward to a summer full of science!

Excited to share our recent paper, which is one of the first phylogenomic analyses of copepods 🧪
TLDR: the order Harpacticoida should be split, with 2 families forming their own new order—Canuelloida

The Potential for Experimental Evolution to Uncover Trade‐Offs Associated With Anthropogenic and Climate Change Adaptation
Adapting to climate change stressors may be hampered by negative trade-offs that prevent the evolution of optimum values for all traits simultaneously. Therefore, an understanding of trade-offs is ne...
