Out today from Isabelle Neylan, @rujutavaidya.bsky.social @brantfaircloth.bsky.social, M Dassnayake and me: The transcriptomic response to early life heat stress mirrors adaptive differences between populations – evidence for plasticity-led evolution. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Genetic assimilation and accommodation shape adaptation to heat stress in a splash pool copepod

Abstract. Understanding organismal responses to dynamic environments is becoming increasingly important in our rapidly changing world. Beyond genetic adapt

New from Wissam Jawad & others: synthesis across many species shows 1) Incorporating local adaptation has BIG impacts on predicted vulnerability to warming 2)Pace of warming is much more important than capacity for evolutionary rescue in driving extinction risk. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How do temperature and resources interact to shape both population and community growth rates? We have a model that makes predictions at both levels! And we test them with experimental data from the lab & field. This one has been gestating for years and we're rather proud of it. Give it a read.

Ecologists recognize the importance of integrating across scales, yet our models often target specific scales. Our new paper presents models of population growth that scale up to explain community-level patterns, including interactions of temperature, light & nutrients. doi.org/10.1002/ecm....

New preprint! Strong but variable seasonal acclimation of thermal limits in Lake Champlain calanoid copepods. Really excited to get this out - our first steps into the freshwater realm! ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

One semester down (and what a semester it was…). A definite bright spot, however, has been watching our lab group grow! Looking forward to a summer full of science!

Excited to share our recent paper, which is one of the first phylogenomic analyses of copepods 🧪 TLDR: the order Harpacticoida should be split, with 2 families forming their own new order—Canuelloida doi.org/10.1016/j.ym...

Took some time to come together, but so happy to have this paper out!

A new study has shown that seasonal variation in thermal performance (or the lack thereof) can influence how vulnerable populations are to heatwaves.🔥 Read the paper here: https://buff.ly/3UX1Dki 🧪 🌏

New from @jogriffiths61.bsky.social @mattsasaki.bsky.social Isabelle Neylan and me: Experimental evolution is especially useful for revealing trade-offs associated with adaptation to climate change stressors: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

The Potential for Experimental Evolution to Uncover Trade‐Offs Associated With Anthropogenic and Climate Change Adaptation

Adapting to climate change stressors may be hampered by negative trade-offs that prevent the evolution of optimum values for all traits simultaneously. Therefore, an understanding of trade-offs is ne...
