I am a postdoctoral researcher from china. My focus on the odonata biodiversity patterns and drivers, how urbanization affects the community assembly in freshwater, and how drying affects the functioning stability of tropical streams.
What I wish I knew: 33 thoughts for early career researchers
Reflections I wish someone had shared with me early in my research career.

Want to join a global π initiative to test the thermal limits of π using standardised approach? Led by @patricepottier.bsky.social, we are planning a globally distributed experiment to collect data on fish embryonic heat tolerance π‘οΈ. Make this experiment global!

There is also an amazing news article in @nature.com on our recent paper in the same journal.
Rising temperatures pose a threat to tropical insects www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Really nice study
Big effort, exciting results - our paper on the constraints of thermal limits in tropical insects is now out in @nature.com! π¦ππͺ°πͺ²π¦

I just released the 10th episode of my YouTube series on how AI is used to help the planet. These first 10 papers cover a range of topics (conservation, energy, forecasting...) & methods (multi-modal, time series, uncertainty...) So in <1 hr you can get a wide overview of the field! #ccai #mlsky π€ π
In case you are looking for a leading role in a fieldwork campaign to sample 240 perialpine and alpine lakes in Switzerland over multiple years... @eawag.bsky.social's Department of Aquatic Ecology is offering a postdoctoral position in Aquatic Ecology (m/f/d) 80-100%. More info in the link below.
A postdoc position in Biogeography and Macroecology is available at Palacky University, Czech Republic, with an application deadline of March 15, 2026. For details, contact prof. Vladimir Remes at vladimir.remes@upol.cz. More info: https://vladremes.github.io #postdoc

Cool paper alert. Was trying to model the thermal performance curves of several farmed seaweed species and ran across this awesome, theoretical unifying paper: βA universal thermal performance curve arises in biology and ecologyβ www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
When extreme events happen together or in sequence, their impacts can be catastrophic for people and river biodiversity. Whether thatβs a flood following a drought, a drought and heatwave operating in unison, or a flood falling on saturated ground, the impacts of these compound events can multiply.
A few more days left to apply for our postdoc position on insect community ecology.
I had the chance to join @jessedamiani.bsky.social for a Substack Live conversation last week. We covered a lot of ground β from ecological rhythms to extreme events. We talked rivers, a bit about my back story, and even the importance of finding joy.

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europeβs 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...

Species shift their ranges in response to climate change, but many can't keep up. The resulting "community-climate disequilibrium" can impair ecosystem function and cause counterintuitive dynamics, like short-term gain but long-term loss onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
