New paper from our lab showing that larvae exposed to thermal stress suffer higher mortality, but for those that survive, there are no long-term effects on reproduction later in life www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🌡️🐞
Congrats to @jakobwiil.bsky.social on his first paper from his PhD! 🥳
Hot off the press! New paper in Biology Letters (@royalsocietypublishing.org) showing that heatwaves impair female but not male fertility in burying beetles 🐞🌡️
Huge congratulations to Izzy (@izzygrieve.bsky.social) on her first first-authored paper! 🥳🙌

PhD project entitled "Are we underestimating the effects of climate change on animal populations?" Supervised by Dr Natalie Pilakouta and Dr David Shuker Deadline: 6 January 2026
📣 PhD opportunity in my lab 📣
We're looking for a motivated student interested in the effects of thermal stress on animal survival and reproduction: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
Project is open-ended to allow student to define its direction depending on their interests
Please share widely!
Empseb is simply the best. If you're a PhD student of evolutionary biology, do go there!

Hello! 👋
I've finally moved here from the dark side and I'm excited to reconnect with all the awesome scientists I followed previously!
In our lab at University of St Andrews we study behavioural and physiological responses to climate change (mainly in fish and insects) 🌡️🪲🐞🐟🐠
🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.
Sensible advice from @stephenbheard.bsky.social on choosing a PhD topic: career-advice.jobs.ac.uk/before-your-...
In particular -- research potential supervisors not just as scientists but as mentors! Everyone has a different mentorship style. Try to find an environment that would work for you.
