Animal brains don’t think in a vacuum, they think in heatwaves & hypoxia, and around predators, parasites, and social groups. Our new review maps mechanisms, timescales, and gaps for understanding animal cognition in changing environments: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lau5Esvgs...

Great poster on hibernators latitudinal body size gradient (Bergmann rule) from Korben Moelter, student at the NMU Energetics Lab, at the 2025 Michigan Wildlife Society Chapter Meeting. Also first communication of the Lab on some work done at NMU. Glad to see this happy face! Very proud as well 😊🙃

What is the function of the elongate tail in elasmobranch #rays? A 🧵 and a new hypothesis. A paper with @juliachaumel.bsky.social in @royalsociety.org Proceedings B (shorturl.at/PmfYD) shows that the tail of cownose rays (and a few other species studied so far) has an elaborate lateral line.
