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

Graydon Gillies: Understanding how high temperatures influence resource acquisition and competitive ability

In our latest post Graydon Gilles, MSc student at Queen’s University, presents his work ‘Temperature-dependence and genetic variation in resource acquisition strategies in a model freshwater plant’. He explains the mechanisms behind competition, shows the challenges behind building a lab in your apartment and shares his passion for outdoor ecology.    About the paper  As temperatures increase because of anthropogenic climate change, organisms are going to … Continue reading Graydon Gillies: Understanding how high temperatures influence resource acquisition and competitive ability
