So happy to see the 2nd chapter of my PhD out! doi.org/10.1093/evol...
Here, we studied populations sampled from their local elevational edges and centers on mountain slopes, and characterised the variation in G-matrices (comprised of growth and leaf investment traits) among these populations. 1/5

Happy to be able to share our review of the consequences of rising temperatures on animal fertility, led by @rhondasnook.bsky.social with @liamdougherty.bsky.social and Claudia Fricke. Research is getting active in this area but there's still a lot of unknowns...

New paper from our lab showing that larvae exposed to thermal stress suffer higher mortality, but for those that survive, there are no long-term effects on reproduction later in life www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... ๐ก๏ธ๐
Congrats to @jakobwiil.bsky.social on his first paper from his PhD! ๐ฅณ
Congratulations ๐ฅณ
Very interesting findings!
A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with a camera could be a good option. Itโs a cheap and small computer that works well for recording.
Many congratulations ๐ฅณ

Males of the fruit fly (Drosophila prolongata) engage in territorial contests, using their elongated forelegs as weapons to fend off rivals and secure access to females and food. Read 'Social plasticity and individuality shape variation in contest behaviour': doi.org/10.1098/rsbl... #BiologyLetters
๐ข We have an open position for a postdoc to join my lab. It's a great position @animecol-uu.bsky.social, fully salaried for 2.5 years with all benefits.

How do insects respond to changing climates? Our new review and analysis in @annualreviews.bsky.social suggests that phenological adaptation trumps thermal adaptation.

Thanks
โจLife update: Excited to start my postdoc with David Berger at Uppsala University, Sweden, exploring how warming affects fertility and adaptive potential in beetles ๐ก๏ธ๐ชฒ
Thanks to Stefan Lรผpold and the lab for an amazing 4.8 years, and to Sven och Lilly Lawskis fond for supporting the next chapter ๐ฅณ.
Thank you
๐ Iโm delighted to share that the final paper of my PhD is out!
We studied how heat stress affects male and female fertility across reproductive stages in Drosophila melanogaster.
