It was really fun being a apart of this cool project on barrier passage success in European eels! Check out the great paper, led by Michael J. Williamson, below!

The world's fish are taking benzos. It turns out that by drugging ourselves with these common anti-anxiety meds, we're inadvertently dosing wild animals as well. Especially the ones that live in water.

Widely detected in global waterways, clobazam—a common drug used to treat anxiety—is altering the migration behavior of wild Atlantic salmon, according to a new Science study. The findings underscore the far-reaching ecological consequences of pharmaceutical pollutants.

Another great write up on our latest Science Magazine article, and the potential for behaviour-modifying chemicals in our waterways to affect fish populations more generally, in the The Washington Post! SLU Wild Research Story here: washingtonpost.com/science/2025/0…

Such a wild experience! Check out more coverage of our recent Science Magazine paper below!

Fantastic to see our new paper out today in Biological Reviews (Cambridge Philosophical Society) on incorporating experimental approaches into movement ecology research. The project was amazingly led by Whitney Hansen, PhD, with a great group of co-authors! Paper 👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…

Divergent selection and plasticity both increase reproductive isolation during incipient speciation! You can find our new meta-analysis of experimental speciation studies here: rdcu.be/ek019 with Erik Svensson and Philip Downing

Some of our group’s work from SLU Wild Research on how pharmaceuticals can affect animal movement and behaviour presented at #SETAC2025 in Vienna today! Come down for a chat to find out more about this research in the poster session this afternoon! Tomas Brodin Michael Bertram

Our silver eel biotelemetry meta-analysis is published in FishandFisheries ! We gathered biotelemetry datasets on eel migration from 18 locations across Europe to analyse their migration behaviour. What a collab! Check it out at doi.org/10.1111/faf.12…! Eel photo Pepe Brix Doc Photography

Fantastic new paper on casual inference in ecology research. So much great information. I think it is a must read for all ecologists. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…

For the new kids in back: If you hate statistics, you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Very jealous of my younger brother right now who spotted some locals while hiking through the jungle in Sumatra.

Received the latest copy of the ASF Atlantic Salmon Journal this morning, which featured our recent work on the effects of psychoactive pharmaceuticals on the migration success of Swedish salmon smolts!
