#McGill biologist Dr. @Emily_S_Choy has been studying a colony of thick-billed murres on the cliffs of Coast Island in Hudson Bay and how they are impacted by rising temperatures in the Arctic. theguardian.com/environment/… @guardian

“It’s tough to match the rate of climate change,” said scientist @Ryan_OConn. As Arctic animals struggle to cope with increasingly extreme heat waves, will they be able to adapt fast enough?

Increasingly hot temperatures threaten Arctic species that have evolved to thrive in cold climates. Even if animals survive extreme heat waves, gradual consequences point to population declines, say scientists.

A decade ago, Arctic seabirds were found dead in their nests. Scientist @Emily_S_Choy thinks they could be “canaries in the coal mine” for the future effects of a hotter world, and that the species' survival may not be hopeless if climate action is taken.

Arctic murres are the most heat intolerant bird species studied to date, and @Emily_S_Choy shows their vulnerability to high temperatures.

1) Our latest paper, the first to study heat stress in a large Arctic seabird, has been published today in @J_Exp_Biol! We measured responses to heat stress in thick-billed murres. Are murres canaries in the coal mine for the effects of climate change? journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

Our latest @Ecol_Evol paper on the impacts of heat stress on Arctic snow buntings and the implications of climate change on cold-adapted passerines has been featured by @wildlifesociety! Stay tuned for more research as part of the @ArcticScope project!

Desert #birds may be feeling much of the brunt of hotter temperatures due to climate change. But new research shows that even #Arctic snow buntings may experience heat stress when the temperature is warm enough. ow.ly/fZQp50DxIYz #climatechange #wildlife

What could thick-billed murres & snow buntings possibly have in common? Find out today when @Ryan_OConn & I give a tag-team presentation on our research on heat tolerance in birds & the impacts of #Arctic warming at 12:30pm EST in session TER-77 @ArcticNet #AC2020 @ArcticScope

Overheating takes its toll. An important constraint for birds adapted to breed in cold polar environments is their intolerance to warming conditions. Today at the ArcticChange conference, new experimental results will be presented on the impacts of a warming #arctic.

Many studies support seabirds as indicators of ecosystem changes. Read more on how ecologist, @Emily_S_Choy is studying thick billed murres, and their response to rising temperatures on Coats Island. #climatechange #ecology ow.ly/P3eZ50BOPPB

Thank you to all of my new followers for your support! If you enjoyed #MurreMonday & would like to learn more about thick-billed murres & Arctic research, I am doing a Facebook live session for kids with @EarthRangers on June 18th at 2pm EST (6:00pm GMT): facebook.com/bringbackthewil…
