Critical constraints to ecological buffering in a rapidly changing Arctic: a long-term seabird study

This blog post is provided by David Grémillet and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article, “Critical constraints to ecological buffering in a rapidly changing Arctic: a long-term seabird study”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. The study builds upon 20 years of research on little auks in East Greenland, to identify limits to the adaptability of this seabird to global changes. Little … Continue reading Critical constraints to ecological buffering in a rapidly changing Arctic: a long-term seabird study

Rethinking how acclimation shapes ectotherm survival in a warming world

This blog post is provided by Ignacio Peralta-Maraver and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Warm acclimation reduces the sensitivity of Drosophila species to heat stress at ecologically relevant scales”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, Ignacio and colleagues tested the acclimation capacity of four Drosophila species, revealing that it is closely associated with temperatures experienced during their development. … Continue reading Rethinking how acclimation shapes ectotherm survival in a warming world
