SO EXCITED to see this awesome paper by @SamRPJRoss (& lots of us) out in the world. Come see how predators are able to mitigate the impacts of realistic future heatwaves. Check out the experimental set up below! :) https://t.co/f39xIJAOXs

Mo and Mike are still on the hunt for two tickets to see Taylor! They’re out in the Wells Fargo lot cooking up hot dogs for fellow Swifties. They told me they’re having a great time regardless if they get to go inside the Linc tonight. @CBSPhiladelphia

Today is the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the reason Pride is in June. In 1969, it was illegal to wear clothes that were considered inappropriate for one's sex and when the police raided the Stonewall Inn's gay bar, they started to do a genital check (as was procedure).

Extremely excited to share our work on Parthenogenesis without costs in a grasshopper with hybrid origins https://t.co/Lm2d35CgsK out now in @ScienceMagazine

Persistent parthenogenesis shows no fitness costs in the grasshopper Warramaba virgo, which has colonized a wide area.

'novel analysis of a unique dataset indicates that parasite abundance in marine systems cannot be predicted precisely without accounting for the independent and interactive effects of each parasite's life history and environmental conditions' https://t.co/cyjjz0WlS1

Ecosystems with predators are much less likely to suffer significant species loss amid climate change than those without predators, according to new research from Japan.

Whether predator extinctions exacerbate the ecological consequences of climate change remains largely unknown. Using 48 freshwater mesocosms and a locally informed experimental heatwave, we tested...

This wouldn't be possible without our incredible collaborators at @HokkaidoUni @ARC_HokkaidoU including those pictured here, and all my coauthors including @donohueian @molinos_jorge @MoDubs11. We were funded by @IrishResearch @InsideNatGeo. (13/14)

Our latest study in @GlobalChangeBio shows that predators can buffer aquatic communities against heatwaves, highlighting their importance in the fight against climate change. @donohueian @molinos_jorge @tcddublin @HokkaidoUni @IrishResearch @InsideNatGeo (📸🧵 1/14):
#Predator species may buffer the negative impacts of #climatechange by mitigating against the loss of #biodiversity, according to new research led by scientists from @TCD_NatSci, joined by scientists at @HokkaidoUni. Read more at: https://t.co/OdBBzHXt9H

On Sat 15 Jan we mark Aoibheann's months passing by celebrating her with a sponsored walk through Glendalough; a place she adored. Meet 9:30 upper lake carpark. All welcome. Donations to Dogs Aid, where she often volunteered: https://t.co/ByWDLgb6Vx Thanks for your support.

It is still so deeply incomprehensible that today we lay to rest the amazing and talented Dr. Aoibheann Gaughran. Words can’t possibly describe the joy, laughter and enthusiasm Aoibheann brought to everyone’s lives and to the field of Irish ecology 🦡

Tomorrow, we are heartbroken to have to say goodbye to Dr Aoibheann Gaughran, a wonderful friend and colleague whose positive and always joyful presence never failed to light up our department. Our sincere condolences to Aoibheann’s family and loved ones. May she rest in peace.
