Lizard population responses to climate and fire regimes: new pathways to ecological resilience

This blog post is provided by Heitor Sousa and Rob Salguero-Gómez and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Severe fire regimes decrease resilience of ectothermic populations”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, Heitor, Rob and colleagues found that intermediate fire regimes may be the most conducive to resistance for several Cerrado lizard species, and that variation in life … Continue reading Lizard population responses to climate and fire regimes: new pathways to ecological resilience

An organismal crystal ball during marine heatwaves: Predicting death across heat doses

This blog post is provided by Andrew Villeneuve and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper „Predicting organismal response to marine heatwaves using dynamic thermal tolerance landscape models”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their paper, Villeneuve and White used mechanistic thermal death time models to understand how different marine heatwave profiles might impact species with different thermal adaptations. In their … Continue reading An organismal crystal ball during marine heatwaves: Predicting death across heat doses

Ecophysiological feedbacks under climate change

Variability in heat tolerance among populations modifies the climate-driven periods of diurnal activity expected for ectotherm species. This phenomenon is illustrated for Iberian lizards in a paper recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Lead author Dr Salvador Herrando-Pérez is a generalist ecologist with expertise in community ecology, demography, ecophysiology and palaeoecology, and currently undertaking his second postdoc. Here, he explains the approach used … Continue reading Ecophysiological feedbacks under climate change
