Rosa Jolma | Season matters for parasite heatwave tolerance,  as do species and life stage

In this Behind the Paper blog post, author Rosa Jolma – a PhD candidate at Utrecht University – discusses the paper “Acute heat tolerance (CTmax) of two invasive parasitic copepods differs across species, life cycle stages and acclimation temperatures“, which was published in Functional Ecology in August 2026. Rosa discusses how parasites tolerate heatwaves, working with these parasites in very small volumes of water, and how an interest … Continue reading Rosa Jolma | Season matters for parasite heatwave tolerance,  as do species and life stage

Meet The Editor: Michael P. Moore

Current Institution: University of Colorado Denver, USA Research interests: I study how physiology and ontogeny limit the ways that organisms adapt to their environments. I am especially interested in using information about these constraints to better forecast how organisms will respond to global change. Why did you choose to study your particular area of research? When I started graduate school, there was a ton of … Continue reading Meet The Editor: Michael P. Moore
