#ThermalEcology
Last week our MSc student Karl Gehrig gave an update about his MSc thesis on how #butterflies change their #behaviour depending on their thermal preferences preferences. His work is supervised by @esme-ashe.bsky.social who leads our research theme of #thermalecology. Well done, Karl!

Rathery et al. quantified nest excavation in Lasius flavus across 15-30°C using 2D clay arenas, finding excavation accelerated at higher temperatures. 🌡

Temperature is a game-changer! Warming can speed up embryogenesis but also impact survival & hatchling competence. Finding the right balance is crucial. 🌡️🐙🥚(4/10) #ThermalEcology #DeepSeaAdaptation

@thermalecology Me, too, but as a female pre-tenure academic I struggle with when to use titles to confer respect (not status).

@thermalecology Maybe it's just the culture here? People always call them "Dean Smith," or whatever.
