Small colonies, big environmental challenges: how the intensity and duration of heat exposure shape ant colony foraging

This blog post is provided by Rafael Carvalho da Silva, Maëlys Prost, Angélique Bultelle, and Thibaud Monnin, and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Effects of heat stress on the foraging activity of incipient ant colonies”, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, da Silva and colleagues explored the impacts of prolonged heat exposure on the foraging activities of black garden … Continue reading Small colonies, big environmental challenges: how the intensity and duration of heat exposure shape ant colony foraging

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
