Time course of acclimation of critical thermal limits in two springtail species (Collembola) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our new paper in Oecologia Springer Nature shows Seira #springtails are super desiccation tolerant compared to other #Collembola globally. High VPD in the hot habitats may explain this. @StevenChown1,charlene,@Lab_APE & Laura Phillips 10.1007/s00442-021-04896-w School of Biological Sciences, Monash #PhD

Contamination across water sources (except municipal, which not all households have access to) was high. Well water did not meet World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water guidelines and E. coli levels of environmental water indicates sewage contamination [💧 analyses: @MonashCivil, Monash Science]
