🚨New paper 🚨We argue that abrupt biodiversity losses can be driven by populations sharing similar tolerances to warming 🦋🌎🥵. Out now in @royalsociety.

Paper accepted 🥳🙌 in #philtransb (@RSocPublishing) is a nice way to start a grey Monday. Watch this space to learn more about how clustered warming tolerances drive non-linear risks of biodiversity loss on a warming planet! 🥵🌎🌿

Happy to share our paper is now out in @EvolAppJournal ! We identified over 200 differentially methylated sites that could be used to monitor thermal stress beyond mortality in endangered #SeaTurtles 🐢

Excited to teach at the "Application of #genomics in #wildlife #conservation" workshop in Bogor, #Indonesia with @sagitaninta, @RosieDrink and @HellerRasmus. All participants survived the first day. Four more to go. @PopGenDK @UCPH_Research @brin_indonesia @univ_indonesia

New preprint, led by Charley @eugeniecyen 🌡️🐢🧬 Monitoring sublethal effects in the wild is challenging, esp. for #endangered species with cryptic life histories. We identified 714 differentially methylated sites that carry signatures of thermal, sublethal effects in #SeaTurtles

Just published by @tor_85 showing how small changes to tropical rain forest cover dramatically alters trophic ecology of mobile predators-bats. With @hammerheadbat @rossiterlab @OwenTLewis @Dr_bat_girl @ProfJGrey and ClareWilkinson, in @JAppliedEcology
What is the effect of landscape scale forest cover and forest quality on mobile predators? Read our new publication "Changes in trophic ecology of mobile predators in response to rainforest degradation" to find out! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

We left a camera out in the tropical rainforests of Borneo just before the pandemic hit 🌳. Just over two years later we collected it in, and boy are the results spectacular. Have a look at some of these! 🦧🐘🐆🦚👌

Had a fantastic time teaching the annual field trip to Danum Valley in Borneo with @QM_SBBS masters students last month with @tomfayle and @rossiterlab . If you fancy coming and learning about all things tropical forest, please consider applying for next year's cohort!

Just got my core PhD chapter accepted in Functional Ecology! Very excited to share the research with you all. Spoilers: its on hot 🔥 dung 💩 beetles 🪲 and it is going to blow your minds* 🤓
*T&Cs stipulate you must be into your invertebrate traits for this to apply.
