Was so lucky to be interviewed by the UBC Science Communications team about UBC Zoology student Emily Black's recent paper! focus.science.ubc.ca/crowd-sourced-…

My lab is recruiting a PhD or MSc student for an exciting collaborative project with GLFC Science scientists! Come join us here at UBC Zoology . Details here: csz-scz.ca/wp/job/funded-… #entomology Entomologists of Color Entomological Society of America Entomol. Soc. BC @EntSocOnt

How do you find out how new species form during a pandemic lockdown? Dr. Katie Marshall (Katie Marshall) of UBC Zoology & UBCBiodiversity turned to crowd-sourced science. Learn more: bit.ly/crowd-sourced-…

[1/2] An all-woman crew of marine scientists is rowing 5,000 km non-stop for ocean conservation. The four marine scientists will row across the Atlantic Ocean as part of the World’s Toughest Row from The Canary Islands to Antigua. Read more: bit.ly/3NgfoGO

Congratulations to star UBC Zoology PhD candidate Jarrett on his recent Journal of Animal Ecology methods guide to computer vision for ecology! Special thanks to awesome co-authors Kaitlyn Gaynor and Meredith S. Palmer, Ph.D. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… #ComputerVision #MachineLearning

What does it look like when a cold snap hits during a king tide in the intertidal? Thermal imaging can help! Photos I took Thursday and Friday nights here in #vyr #arcticoutflow UBC Zoology

Check out this sped-up thermal imaging of a mussel freezing! (when the ice is forming a big burst of heat is released which is why it goes from -6.5 to -4.5 in the span of a few seconds) Katie Marshall

Wondering which method to use to measure oxygen consumption in fish? Rachel Eisenberg and collaborators at Memorial University find different methods don’t give the same results - and this has implications for stress and survival. Check it out new in fsbi! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jf…

Interested in butterflies, machine vision, low temperature physiology, and/or range shifts? If so, give me a shout! I'd be happy to chat about a potential HFSP fellowship ! hfsp.org/funding/hfsp-f…

3,000,000 Observers! Thank you for helping us reach this inc redible milestone! inaturalist.org/blog/91752

iNaturalist records show a drop in butterfly observations across 22 species in Metro Vancouver from last April to June. 🦋📉 Dr. Michelle Tseng of @ubcbotany @zoologyUBC discusses what may have happened to all the butterflies, and what we can do to help: bit.ly/4evCyoV

UBC Science UBC Zoology graduate Jessica Kennedy and current student Lauren Gill featured in Journal of Experimental Biology !

Oh hey! Check out this blog post about my time working with Takuji Usui | 薄井拓路 in my undergrad!

It was an honour to share my work and participate in #ICE2024Kyoto ! An incredible week of sharing 🦋 and 🪲 knowledge in a beautiful city.

Had a great time at International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP this week!

Could winter road salt be killing salmon eggs? In this Q&A, UBC Zoology masters students Carley Winter and Clare Kilgour discuss their project monitoring the effects of salt levels on coho salmon in streams around Vancouver. Learn more: bit.ly/4fAhA7F

Excited to see this paper in collaboration with Hiroko Udaka out! Great job by Lauren Gill showing that slugs can get more cold tolerant without accumulating glucose. Want to read more? See here: rdcu.be/d5ZSC (should work for everyone!).
