Happy to share my first thesis chapter from my PhD at NTNU, published in Journal of Thermal Bio! “No Oxygen limitation of Upper Thermal Tolerance in Zebrafish Regardless of Acclimation Temperature” 🔓🐟🌡️
@jutfelt.bsky.social @annahandreassen.bsky.social @rasmusern.bsky.social
Little is known about the mechanisms controlling thermal acclimation in fish.
Check out this study exploring possible roles of hormones & skin thermoreception during acclimation in goldsinny wrasse.

McGill Biology Prof. Lauren Chapman (www.mcgill.ca/chapman-lab/) will be giving her retirement seminar
"Tropical Tales: Lessons learned from a career in the field" on Thursday, March 13, 4 pm in Stewart Biology N2/2 (& on Zoom: www.mcgill.ca/biology/semi...).
Going to @sebiology.bsky.social 2025? Consider submitting an abstract to our session on "Shared challenges & diverse approaches to physiology in conservation" open to ~all taxa~ 🐟🐻🦋🌿 Organized by Drs. Britney Firth, Sean Tomlinson, Zjef Pereboom & non-Dr me! #SEB2025
Social card. Black background with CSP Leaf logo in middle. Title reads "Canadian Science Publishing celebrates International Women's Day 2025", Title along bottom reads: Five trailblazing Canadian women in science.
Women in science have faced barriers, but their contributions have shaped the world. For International Women’s Day, we’re highlighting five Canadian women who challenged stereotypes. Read about them on the #CSPBlog 💡 ➡️ ow.ly/nekf50VcM9n #IWD25
Social card. Background is a grey image of a foggy mountainside and lake with a bird flying over the water. The FACETS logo sits at the top left corner. Beneath it reads: "Collection" and then "Progress and Priorities for the Recovery of Aquatic Species at Risk in Canada".
Canada’s Species at Risk Act has faced criticism, but efforts to recover at-risk wildlife continue. This collection highlights research on aquatic species recovery, from habitat restoration to threat mitigation. Explore the latest insights ➡️ ow.ly/B1nt50VcPLW

How vulnerable are #amphibians to extreme heat? 🐸🌡️
Our paper in @nature.com shows that many amphibians are already overheating, and many more species will be impacted by climate warming globally.
See the thread below for a digest 🧵

The deadline to submit abstracts is approaching!!! ⏰ (March 7th)
Consider submitting an abstract for a talk or poster in our session (A14) if you study the vulnerability of early life stages to environmental stressors! 🐣
The early bird registration deadline is May 16th.
📰 Request for newsletter content!
Hey, fish-heads! I'm a co-editor of the AFS education section newsletter, and I'd like to include your stories on how recent funding cuts have affected your teaching, graduate program, or experience as a student. These are difficult times to put it mildly... 🧵
Globe and Mail: BSE Prof. Elena Bennett says that "the rapid policy shift in the U.S. is causing huge uncertainty," and a project she is a part of--the National Nature Assessment-- was shut down after a WH executive order. "We got an email and we're done."

Super exciting news - two of our Ex-comm members just published a review paper in collaboration with Ricciardi lab (@ecoinvasions.bsky.social) at McGill and the Mandrak lab at UofT (@uoft.bsky.social).

these REUs are so crucial for undergraduates to get to do science, for their careers, and for all of us because undergraduates are our future and we need to support and nurture their brilliance ~ this is heartbreaking 💔
🧪👩🏻🔬🌎
Check out this summary of my recently published thesis chapter! 🐟 with fantastic accompanying artwork 🙌
You’re also really chill and cool! 👍🐟👍
I thought I'd introduce myself to get this page started!
I'm currently a master's student at McGill studying the goldfish invasion of Quebec and Ontario. I'll use this page to A) post about fish and B) repost other people posting about fish. Aquatic Macroinvertebrates may be involved as well!
Another paper from my PhD where we looked at the short and long term effects of raising embryos at two different temperatures 🐟
Interestingly hypoxia tolerance but not thermal tolerance was shown to be altered in juveniles.
RING RING ! La communauté des poissons appelle, et ils ne prennent pas la messagerie vocale ! 📞🐟

Can't wait to see you there:)

Spending $20M per year to protect a multibillion dollar fishery is obviously a wise investment - as is apparent to anyone whose intelligence has not been eroded by extremist political ideology.

Our AFS Ex-Comm members attended the third annual SCAS conference in Hamilton (@scas-scsa.bsky.social)! 🎉 Happy to keep connecting with the fish community and sharing our passion for aquatic science. 🐟🌊
Hope to see you at our third AFS symposium! 👀
