While a despot attacks Canada, total silence from Americans we had considered friends and allies. The silence is deafening, but it won't ever be forgotten. #USPolitics
My lab is keen on recruiting grad students for 2025 (fully funded positions! Living wage!) on topics related to plant phylogenomics, macroevolution, and adaptation to dry environments: See: edelinegagnon.wixsite.com/gagnon-lab-1..… Job Details: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
ICYMI: Freshwater ecosystems are in crisis ☠️ A new study in Nature shows 24% of nearly 24,000 freshwater species, including crabs, fish, and dragonflies, are at high risk of extinction. Threats like pollution and habitat loss are pushing them to the brink 🦀 Get the details:
A new study out of our @iBioUWindsor @GLIERUWINDSOR @FRECUwindsor labs in collaboration with @TurkoLab, examining the effects of suspended sediment on Redside dace, a species seemingly on the brink of extinction in Canada due primarily to urbanization stressors

@TurkoLab (former post-doc in our lab, who taught us all a lot during his tenure) picking up tank system from @FRECUwindsor to build up his lab - so glad to see the equipment go to a good home

New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC @RSocPublishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.
We are hosting a Southern Ontario Pub Night with Tox on Tap in Kitchener on October 7! Join us for an engaging talk, some delicious food and fine brew at a unique venue. Featuring the amazing @Erin_M_Leonard! RSVP here: laurentiansetac.ca/event-details/…
So great to have @TurkoLab and his students from @IntUGrativeBiol visit our @GLIERUWINDSOR facility @FRECUwindsor - look forward to more collaboration on species at risk freshwater fishes
These killifish protect their babies from predators by laying their eggs on land! Check out the highlights in @J_Exp_Biol Outside JEB based on the study from @UTArlington 🐠 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…
We're hiring here @ZoologyUBC in comparative physiology! Come be my colleague in a fantastic department! If you have any questions about the department, UBC, or Vancouver, please don't hesitate to ask. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28155 Please spread widely.
As more species become imperilled the possibility of translocation or reintroduction becomes more likely. We need a better understanding of the stress associated with transportation for conservation efforts. This work was led by @Ashley_Watt_M @C_Madliger @TurkoLab @Imokaydad
Transport does not influence maximum metabolic rate or thermal tolerance of endangered redside dace ow.ly/4Iex50SYBGC In @FACETSJournal by @Ashley_Watt_M @iBioUWindsor and colleagues
One of the saddest drone shots you will ever see. Complete and utter destruction of a once great ecosystem - the North American Tall Grass Prairie.
We don't leave them much room between the vast expanse of corn and soybeans, but life finds a (water)way.
A massive congrats to @Ashley_Watt_M for her successful PhD defence today and a special thank you to committee members @McKayGLIER @ecofebria Stephanie Doucet and the external Eva Enders (INRS) as well as the Chair @ken_ngk
What a day to be on the alvar. Monarchs, dragonflies, baby turkeys, frogs and sadly, a lot of sweet white clover. The weather was warm today and the clouds were fascinating. Good day to be outside exploring. #hiking #turkey #monarch #invasivespecies #clouds
Tenure-track job alert 🚨🚨 We are hiring an avian ecologist (broadly defined) at @TrentUniversity. Trent is a great place to build a research program, and ptbo is a wonderful place to live. DEADLINE AUGUST 19. Details: universityaffairs.ca/search-job/?jo…
