It’s so cool to have @KalahariProject and four of my PhD students (one in her other role as a vet) featured in the August issue of National Geographic. A great story with incredible photography and artwork. @NatGeo @Tswalu @Suzuki_ZA

A nice feature on Masters student Ben Melamdowitz, who is studying Temminck’s pangolin distribution and habitat use in the Kalahari. ogresearchconservation.org/rescue-rehabil…

Research assistant position at the Kalahari Research Centre 😎 🇿🇦. 3-4 month. Preference for South African residents
🦎 We tracked free-ranging lizards with custom-made backpacks to test if thermal performance predicts survival in the wild. The link between lab-measured physiology and real-world fitness? Not so straightforward. Read more in @JAnimEcol: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… 🧵👇
Congrats to Daniel on his Masters graduation (with distinction) this morning. Daniel assessed the role of pangolins in the Kalahari ecosystem. #witsie4life @WitsUniversity

What are the relative impact of diet vs physical activity on the global obesity crisis? New paper out @pnas uses the DLW Database with 4000+ participants across 34 populations to investigate Obesity & Energy Expenditure Across the Economic Spectrum. Open access link below!🧵1/
With aquatic environments facing degradation from human activities, what are the effects on visually-mediated behaviours in fish? Learn more in this study of visual performance in a cichlid fish under turbid conditions 🐠 Read it here ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/conphy…
Superb weekend in spectacular medieval Bruges, post #sebconference. Definitely not a shithole, as described by Colin Farrell in “In Bruges”!




Plenty to choose from today at #SEBConference! ➡️ #BioLogging symposium with @AndreaFuller06. AM talks in Toucan1&2, PM workshop Gorilla3 ➡️ Conservation Across Taxonomic Boundaries with Sean Tomlinson. 11am Gorilla3 ➡️ #PeerReview workshop from SEB journals. 2.30pm Gorilla5
Gulls experience anthropogenic changes in natural & urban environments, making them useful #BioIndicators. This study of gull physiological health provides reference values for future biomonitoring. Read it here ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/conphy…
OK #SEB2025, it's time to get excited by #seed physiology! Come see our work on Thursday 11am in the session on ex situ conservation, supported by @conphysjournal in gorilla room 3
At #SEB2025? This evening's zoo walk promises to be a great event! ➡️ @ 6.30 pm today. Do look out for our booklet featuring research on the species in the zoo 🦁🐢🦈🌲
Come and meet my mate Bryn from Loggermate and learn about his innovative biologging devices at #SEBCONFERENCE Antwerp!
If you’re an ECR at #SEBCONFERENCE in Antwerp and interested in writing for Conservation Physiology in Action, or getting involved in reviewing, come chat to our editorial team tomorrow. @conphysjournal
