Analisa Lazaro-Côté | Predictors of thermal thresholds in climate-impacted fish

In our latest ‘Behind the Paper’ blog post, author Analisa Lazaro-Côté – a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Manitoba – discusses the article “Transcriptional breakpoints as predictors of thermal thresholds in a climate-impacted stenothermal fish“, which was published in Functional Ecology in August 2026. Analisa shares how bull trout may avoid temperatures that activate costly stress responses, sampling fish in the lab, and the … Continue reading Analisa Lazaro-Côté | Predictors of thermal thresholds in climate-impacted fish

Grace Hirzel | Up to their eyes: seasonal changes in vision, behaviour, and wing colour in a temperate butterfly

In this week’s blog post, we’re gearing up for a shift in seasons with author Grace Hirzel as we explore the behavioural changes in a temperate butterfly. Based on their paper: “Synchronous seasonal plasticity in colouration, behaviour, and visual gene expression in a wild butterfly population”, Grace shares with us how seasonal conditions impact behaviour and how animals perceive their environment. Through the use of … Continue reading Grace Hirzel | Up to their eyes: seasonal changes in vision, behaviour, and wing colour in a temperate butterfly
