Our findings show that heatwaves can modify anti-predator behaviours during development, potentially increasing predation risk and reshaping predator-prey dynamics under climate change. 5/5

Specifically, heatwave-exposed juveniles exhibited a reduced freezing response and faster resumption of normal activity compared to control fish. 4/5

🚨🚨New paper alert!!!🚨🚨  As a result of outstanding teamwork with @CleliaGasparini, @AlessandroDevig, and @o_borgheresi, at @DiBio_UniPD @MSCActions, we show that heatwaves alter anti-predator behaviour in juvenile guppies 🔥🐟🐟🐟🦈🔥 dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7… 1/5

Do grant proposal texts matter for funding decisions? A field experiment Spoiler alert...NO! #Grants #academia

Wonderful workshop at Erice,Sicily! Sexual Selection in a Changing World organized by ⁦@DrKimor⁩ ⁦@PilastroAndrea⁩ ⁦@GilRosenthal⁩ Tamás Székely We discussed how climatic conditions can alter sexual traits influencing adaptive changes and population viability

Check out this great opportunity for those looking to do a PhD on the molecular interactions between sperm and the female reproductive tract; in Madrid, Spain!

@AlessandroDevig @UniPadova @DiBio_UniPD @Rancid Congratulations Ale!!!!

~23 years later, today, I start a new -last- chapter at @UniPadova and @DiBio_UniPD I miss that @Rancid sweatshirt I lost track of!

🧵Since it is becoming hard to track, here is a thread of the simply astounding weather records planet Earth has started shattering in recent weeks: 1. Dramatic flood events have begun striking various countries around the world simultaneously this week. twitter.com/Rishusharma26/…

Heatwaves thus not only compromise survival, but also key reproductive traits and reproductive success, highlighting the importance of considering heatwaves when predicting how #climatechange will impact populations. 4/5

Out now!🚨 New paper in @FunEcology in which we look at the effects of #heatwaves on reproduction and survival in the guppy ☀️🔥🐟🐟 Thanks to the great teamwork 🎉with @AlessandroDevig, @o_borgheresi, and @CleliaGasparini at @DiBio_UniPD @MSCActions besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… 1/5

Postdoc position open‼️ Pls retweet‼️ A 12-months (with possible extension) position to investigate PFAS mechanisms of toxicity on reproduction&cognition. Requirements: PhD in biology field, background in bioinformatics and omics. Deadline for applicants:30-11-22.Start:ASAP 1/2

Do you study animal #coloration using #spectrophotometry?🌈We evaluated the repeatability of different color metrics of hue, saturation & brightness. Metrics based on visual models were the most consistently repeatable in different tissues🐦Paper: rdcu.be/cUdSp #colsci

@POMontiglio Oxygen availablity could definitely be involved! We plan to measure this soon!

@Abhi_Evo Thanks!!

Very interesting work and great talk by @MerulaCB at ISBE22
