Protein stability matches up with thermal limits across families too. 🧬🔥 [contains quote post or other embedded content]05 Mar 2026 11:27 +0000at://did:plc:gmtgzokxaqb2wpdsulpdzecb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgcowa4s222yhttps://bsky.app/profile/josephwilliamson.bsky.social/post/3mel2rnoqnc2t🚨NEW PAPER🚨 It doesn't take much canopy disturbance in tropical forests to push surface temperatures above the thermal limits of many invertebrate groups. 🦋+🪲💩+🪱🧛‍♂️+ 🐜 Led by the wonderful Mike Boyle! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258900422502197211 Feb 2026 08:30 +0000at://did:plc:gmtgzokxaqb2wpdsulpdzecb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mel2rnoqnc2thttps://bsky.app/profile/josephwilliamson.bsky.social/post/3m6f5fjkaxs2bGreat to be a part of this study quantifying the potential negative effects of conservation work to protect one taxon on others! Turns out studying eels did not negatively affect water birds in this case🦆🦢👍 [contains quote post or other embedded content]24 Nov 2025 15:30 +0000at://did:plc:gmtgzokxaqb2wpdsulpdzecb/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6f5fjkaxs2b
