I wrote a short piece for @animalecology.bsky.social in Focus about our recent paper on temporal trends in great tit body mass and early-life effects. You can find it here: animalecologyinfocus.com/2026/10/08/n...

Not-so-great tit: early-life conditions are making Wytham’s great tits a bit less great

Such a phenomenal addition to the research environment @biologylu.bsky.social 🙌🐦🎉 I am looking forward to fun years ahead exploring new avenues of thermal biology together with @kruthsatz.bsky.social

Katharina Ruthsatz@kruthsatz.bsky.social · 2w ago

Thrilled to share that I got the @vetenskapsradet.bsky.social Starting Grant to lead the #HOTGUT project at @biologylu.bsky.social to explore microbiome-mediated thermal resilience in birds 🐦🦠🌡️ #HOTGUT will be in close collaboration with @cyanistesnord.bsky.social - open #postdoc position soon!

Our pre-print analysing the 1 std decline in mass in Wytham great tits has just been published in @animalecology.bsky.social check it out: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @biology.ox.ac.uk

Early‐life environment drives long‐term decrease in adult body mass in a wild bird population

Using more than 90,000 body mass measures of adult and nestling great tits Parus major, we show that the 1 SD decline in adult mass between 1978 and 2024 is a consequence of changes in the environmen....

We have published a new pre-print showing a decline in great tit adult and nestling mass of around 1 gram in 47 y. [rate of approx. -0.040 Hadanes] With @ellafcole.bsky.social, @devisatarkar.bsky.social, Sam. Crofts, @mcmahok.bsky.social & @sheldonbirds.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Decline in body mass in adult (left) and nestling great tits. In the nestling plot, the purple line represents all nestling and the green line those that recruited to the population as breeders. Their different slope suggest an increase in the strength of selection on nestling mass something confirmed in the MS by analysing the temporal trends in selection differentials (see link for further information)
Conservation Physiology@conphysjournal.bsky.social · last mo.

We are happy to be sponsoring the Lund Thermal Biology symposium and #Conphys workshop. The workshop will be run by our current and former Editors in Chief @andreafuller.bsky.social and @sjcfishy.bsky.social along with @patricepottier.bsky.social & Natalie Briscoe.

Excited to share our new paper out in @jexpbiol.bsky.social! Here, we investigated how sex and age shape mitochondrial function under natural conditions in a long-lived seabird, the Common tern. Read the paper here for more information👇 doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

In our recent @jexpbiol.bsky.social paper, we test how air temperature during development influences the ontogeny of heat and cold tolerance, using our trusted quail population 🐥🐦 We draw four main conclusions 🧵 shorturl.at/JZpSr

Postnatal temperature triggers predictable thermoregulatory shifts in birds without a trade-off between heat and cold tolerance

Summary: Warm or cold developmental temperatures affect heat and cold tolerance at population levels in Japanese quail; but at individual levels, there was no evidence for a trade-off between toleranc...

I was happy to play a small part in this study. A rare and ingenious use of a long-lived seabird model from a well-studied population to uncover how mitochondrial function and respiration changes with age and between the sexes. @biologists.bsky.social @biologylu.bsky.social
