So happy and proud of this illustration made for Katharina Ruthsatz amazing presentation in SEB @sebiology.bsky.social !! She talked about environmental stressors in amphibians and their developmental plasticity in a changing world🐸 #amphibia #herpetology #sciart #digitalillustration

Look at this guy!! Repping the only Irish project and on the population genomics of the shamrock no less! ☘️ can’t wait to see how this turns out and super proud as always ☺️ @ucdsbes UCD Research UCD Earth Institute

new preprint 🧵: In the midst of a week of news coverage about the oceans aproaching the tipping point of becoming too acidic to sustain marine life, we still don't know how most of those species will actually respond to this. #oceanacidification france24.com/en/live-news/2…

Are we underestimating the effects of climate change on animal reproduction? Excited to share our new Royal Society Publishing paper showing that the effects of higher mean temperatures and heatwave events on fertility are amplified when they act in combination 🌡️ royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Great that this is published, one of hopefully many ways the #amphibiangenomics consortium #ACG will help us understand and improve the valuable resources hidden in the genomes of the most threatened vertebrate group Dr Tiffany Kosch 👩‍🔬 🤿🐸🧬 Megan Power, PhD Odysys lab UCD Research Sch.

I am so absolutely chuffed! The dedication and time that Roger has put into the horseshoe bat colony has always been inspiring and I’m so grateful to have been involved the past few years. This is so well deserved ☺️🦇

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 from Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc UCD Earth Institute UCD Research & GMHughes Dr. Lauren Eve Simonitis 🇨🇺🇺🇸 My research reveals how cuttlefish ink can hijack a shark's sense of smell! 🦈🦑 This incredible defense mechanism acts as a "chemical smokescreen" academic.oup.com/g3journal/arti… [1/5]

Excited to share the Hughes Lab’s 1st 2025 paper, and Colleen Lawless’s first as first-author, exploreing cuttlefish ink as a chemical defence targeting shark olfactory systems. Great collab with John Finarelli and Dr. Lauren Eve Simonitis 🇨🇺🇺🇸! Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc UCD Research bit.ly/40z7Ype
