New paper alert! The 2021 western North American #heatwave had widespread but variable impacts across species & ecosystems, with cascading effects on #productivity, #streamflow, & #wildfire. @baumlab.bsky.social @katiegwin.bsky.social @coleburton.bsky.social @srivastavalab.bsky.social bit.ly/3NnoEfA

In June 2021, B.C. experienced one of the most intense heat waves on record. In a new study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, researchers, led by UVic ecologist Julia Baum (@baumlab.bsky.social), investigated the heat wave’s ecological effects. 🔗 news.uvic.ca/2026/extreme...

A new systemic review from @baumlab.bsky.social is offering a stark warning for how profoundly ocean life can be upended by heatwaves. The review synthesizes findings from 331 studies that documented the ecological impacts of the 2014-16 Pacific marine heatwave. theconversation.com/the-worlds-l...

The world’s longest marine heat wave upended ocean life across the Pacific

The multi-year heat wave nicknamed ‘The Blob’ impacted thousands of kilometres of marine ecosystems from Alaska to Baja California.

Deeply disheartened to learn. We had just hosted @meadekrosby.bsky.social @uvic.ca last month & learned more about the impactful solutions-oriented work they did. This is devestating news and underscores the Trump administration's lack of understanding about climate change and communities' needs.

Our NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnership for the Northwest region was terminated this week. I'm so proud of the work we did to support the climate resilience efforts of frontline communities and Tribal Nations. And I'm deeply concerned for what the loss of this support means for NW communities.

Glad to see the Canadian Society for Ecology & Evolution (@csee-scee.bsky.social) speak up in support of science! csee-scee.ca/current-bull... This letter focuses on attacks on scientific integrity & science in the U.S.A. Similar things happened and still happen elsewhere. Speak up. Stand up.

A shout out to the millions who marched in the United States for democracy and against fascism. Taking back the country is going to be a long and hard struggle but it has begun. From Canada we say: #elbowsup

To all the Americans in the streets today. This Canadian sees you and thanks you 🙏 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🤝

The Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution @csee-scee.bsky.social stands in solidarity with scientists in the U.S. Science is not a partisan issue. We all rely upon and benefit from it. Read our statement here:
