Jobs thread - Lots of aquatic research related jobs open here at SLU Aqua Sweden right now (with a few bonus aquatic jobs in other departments). Around half are English language roles. Come and work with us🙂 1/n
"Drained peatlands in Finland can become carbon sinks within just 15 years of restoration, suggests a study published in Restoration Ecology."
Restored peatlands can become habitats right away and stop harmful discharge to the rivers and lakes.

Photo by Panu Orell. A juvenile salmon in a river, on top of a red and black rock. There is algae around the rock in the river bottom but the water is very clear. Sunlight is reflected on the fish scales, and showing the red and black dots, and brown, tall stripes on the side of the fish.
🐟🌡️🧪 New study from #ThermoEvo project
@luke.fi: Juvenile Atlantic salmon show no increase in aerobic scope during an ecologically realistic #heatwave.
This suggests limited capacity to cope with higher oxygen demand in warming rivers, when O2 costs increase.

The ”land of the free” is building literal concentration camps. I don’t think the world should just watch it happen in real time 🙄

NBC is editing out footage of JD Vance being booed at the Olympics.
CBS is state sponsored propaganda.
Bezos fired over 300 journalists from The Washington Post and left many stranded in foreign countries.
They’re crowd funding to get home.
Support independent journalism.
Thanks for writing that, and it would be great if biologists had more conversations about this. Also we tend to present work e.g. in conferences after the experiment is done, but could be even more useful to do this before it’s done. Registered reports would also help, if we just used them:)
The principles of experimental design in ecology and evolution has 20k downloads, but unfortunately I still have to reject ~20% of papers without review because they lack replication at the right level. More discussion among mentors and mentees please.

Hieno artikkeli vitamiinipuutoksesta, joka on aiheuttanut massakuolemia lohenpoikasilla myös Itämerellä -90-luvulla. Silloin syyksi arvioitiin kilohailin suhteellisen isoa määrää silakkaan nähden, ja on mielenkiintoista että silakkaa ehdotetaan ”vitamiinipilleriksi” myös Tyynen valtameren lajeille.

Going down a rabbit hole of TX special elections on a Sunday morning was not what I expected, but it’s great news! Hope the wave continues in November…

With #Gemini hallucinating #GoogleSearch, #Grok hallucinating in its own encyclopedia, and #ChatGPT increasingly drawing on that exact #Grokipedia, we are continuously enshittifying the information space. This has already become a huge mess that will be increasingly difficult to clean up.
Have you ever wondered what’s going on in birds’ eyes? They’re bizzarre! 🧪🐦👀
Damsgaard et al. describe the role of a structure, which function was not properly understood until now, in @nature.com. Amazing work.
In this N&V, Michael Berenbrink and I highlight the study (gift link): rdcu.be/eZ6EC
Laajempaa taustatietoa silakan ja lohien yhteyksistä @suomenluonto.bsky.social jutussa:
Joo, tosiaan! Toivotaan että massiaisia riittää jatkossakin😊
Meriselviytymisen parantuminen voisi selittää kossien määrää, ja siihen taas voisi vaikuttaa se että vaelluspoikasille olisi ollut paremmin ravintoa. Silakoiden kunto on samaan aikaan kohentunut, ja niillä on samoja ravintokohteita.
A plea from an editor:
postdocs & grad students who want to review manuscripts, please (!) have an online presence with your current email. I try to solicit reviews from ECRs, but we all move a lot, and it's hard to know if we'll be able to reach you at the email address on your last paper 🧪🌍
