Hi, I'm Krista! I'm an #actuallivingscientist, I study the predictability of evolution in fishes like salmon and stickleback

@GrantEHaines Fall is my favorite stickleback catching season!

New study by @KristaOke @FranzMueter @MikeLitzow finds that warming leads to opposite patterns in weight-at-age for young versus old age classes of Bering Sea walleye pollock. buff.ly/3DFVhxW #FishSci @NOAAFisheriesAK

The Pace of Modern Life, Revisited. I am really proud to announce that our new & much larger database of phenotypic rates is ready. Here, @SarahSandersonH & @photopidge lead its use to re-assess previous assertions. (See paper for more authors) brocku.ca/brock-news/202… #brocku

Our latest #stickleback paper is out, with work led by Quiterie Haenel and Daniel Berner on a SUPER cool stickle system, the Misty Lake! #author-information" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4146…

@JB_Grimm For bibs, I have kid-sized Grundens and love them! They make women's sizes too but the largest kid sizes fit me well (no more rolling up the legs!) and were quite a bit cheaper than adult sizes when I got them too

Sometimes I see great threads with recos for field gear that actually fits women, but never remember to save them. So, any recommendations for super-duper waterproof rain gear for marine research? Looking for a coat, pants/bib and boots. Any other must-haves?

Who knew it would be so satisfying to show @KristaOke how to insert #gifs in @SlackHQ. #StepUpYouGifGame #EmojisNotEnough For those interested: alphr.com/how-to-use-gip…

Working on adaptation to environmental change in aquatic ecosystems? Submit an abstract to SS12 that @KimberleyLemmen and I are organizing for #ASLO21. Abstracts due March 12. Please RT!

OK, #Canadian scientists, #science students, science influencers, scientific societies, student & postdoc unions, and everyone else who may know someone w/ science postgraduate training We (@COVID_19_Canada ) and the province of #Ontario really need your help...every one of you.

@optimlog_ @fishteph @salmon_net @katie_kobayashi @EcoEvoEvoEco @Reynolds_JohnD @EricPalkovacs @HollyKindsvater @CurryCunningham @AKSalmonWatch @VKaratayev Katie did a great job with a difficult task: trying to squeeze a whole bunch of things into a single landscape-scale illustration. The right side of the illustration represents freshwater, so those sockeye are in freshwater!

Hey folks, ever wonder how the genetic basis of migration operates? Our new paper @fishteph lays out a framework for indirect control, where the genetic basis influences physiology, which then influences migratory behavior, using #trout as an example royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

@NicMAlexandre @EcoEvoEvoEco @EricPalkovacs The illustrations are by very talented coauthor @katie_kobayashi!

Huge Data! Measurements of 12.5 Million individual salmon over 40+ years reveal that "salmon are getting smaller, affecting people and ecosystems". It was great to be a part of this huge effort led by @KristaOke and @EricPalkovacs and many others. nature.com/articles/s4146…

"Widespread declines in Pacific salmon size based on 60 years of measurements from 12.5 million fish across Alaska". Great to be part of this team, led by @KristaOke, @EricPalkovacs, @westley_peter and lots of collaborators. go.nature.com/34gYTog

@ohkay_h Thanks Kayla!!

Salmon peeps: a new paper on body size in Pacific salmon, with data from an eye-popping sample size of 12.5 million fish over 60 years of study! Congrats @KristaOke

@gavin_fay @HollyKindsvater @EcoEvoEvoEco @CurryCunningham @ianmdutton @fishteph @westley_peter @katie_kobayashi @VKaratayev Agreed, working with this team was so much fun and such a great experience!

Alaska salmon are getting smaller, impacting people and ecosystems that rely on them. Out today from our @nceas working group with @EricPalkovacs @westley_peter @CurryCunningham @EcoEvoEvoEco @fishteph @HollyKindsvater @Reynolds_JohnD & others. Read here: rdcu.be/b6mc2

@hankKTUU Hi Hank! Just sent you a message
