New Conservation Physiology in Action article, written by Jennifer Cocciardi, describing recent work to improve rhino immobilization. academic.oup.com/conphys/articl…
A neat new study reveals that the controversial species-energy relationship exists. Temperature 🌡️ directly affects species richness confirming predictions from the MTE, while rainfall 💧 indirectly affects richness through its influence on productivity | doi.org/10.1126/scienc…
Translating #Conservation research into meaningful action requires collaboration between multiple stakeholders 🤝. This #Perspective includes case studies & guidance for co-produced research #CoProduction. ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/conphy… 🧵
🦇Recently published research reveals bats across the globe bulk up to survive shifting climates. 'Seasonal Fattening Among Bat Populations Globally: Storing Energy for Survival in a Changing World' 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el… #Ecology #ClimateChange #BatResearch
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…
#SEB2025 is underway. Do come by the journal stand and pick up some merch!
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
Bats get fat to survive hard times, but climate change is threatening their survival strategy. Hear from a Wildlife Ecology expert in The Conversation 🦇loom.ly/I9zMM5M
Come along to the Atrium on Weds at #SEB2025 to meet the team! 👋 With @AndreaFuller06 @madfuzz82 @physiologyfish @KRuthsatz @_ash_flash_ @conphysjournal & more.
🚨 2x Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Ecology positions at @MonashUni. Ecologists working on plants 🌱 are strongly encouraged to apply. 📍Melbourne, Australia Closes: 7th Aug 2025 🔗 careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/…
Ocean temperature changes may have large impacts on fish physiology & fitness. This study of an exploited fish species assessed individual variability in thermal performance, with implications for population resilience to climate change. Read it here: doi.org/10.1093/conphy…

Little is known of heat-related mortality risks for 🐦⬛ birds in humid lowlands. This study indicates that avians in such environments face increasing risk of lethal hypothermia, although vegetation may provide a thermal buffer 🌳 Read it here ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/conphy…
New 2-year post-doc opportunity on extinction modelling based at Univ Adelaide & UnivTasmania. $100K Level A. Exciting research funded by ARC Discovery and Linkage projects to Assoc. Prof. Damien Fordham (Adelaide), me, and Dr Natalie Briscoe (UniMelb). Link in next post.
