In the @ERC_Research funded #MolStressH2O project at @OdysysLab, we’re exploring how aquatic animals deal with climate stressors. From altered DNA repair in baby fish 🐟 to chemical stress signals that ripple through entire communities 🌊, it’s going to be a wild ride.

Last week I had the privilege to present during the #OAWeek2024 how #OceanAcidification combined with #OceanWarming affects shrimp from the Northwest Atlantic. The video now is available here: youtu.be/n7-8vZCHcCw?si=pV6K…
Replying to @goa_on
🌎The North American Ocean Acidification Network #OAWeek2024 session will highlight #OceanAcidification indicators in coastal waters, impacts on marine mollusks, as well as combined #OA and #OceanWarming impacts on shrimp populations. Register here: tiny.cc/NorthAmerican2024

New paper alert! Check this out to learn how publicly available amphibian genomes vary in quality and repeat content. We also investigate synteny across all three amphibian orders 🐸🧬 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Finally the new @iucn_asg #ACAP is out! We're just a bunch of scientists trying to save amphibians, but the mammoth size of this undertaking only reflects the magnitude of challenges biodiversity including ourselves is facing from habitat loss, to disease and #climatechange.
🌟 The 3rd Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (ACAP) is out!🌟 We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 3rd Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (ACAP). The document provides a comprehensive roadmap for global amphibian conservation. #AmphibianConservation #ACAP2024

Today I was happy to share at the #SEBconference #SEB2024 part of the @OdysysLab research on how zebrafish embryos lose their heat cross-protection against ultraviolets when social metabolites are present. Thanks to the organisers, collaborators @cybokat and funders @raq_actu

Check out our new preprint 🐸🧬🐸
I'm thrilled to announce that the first preprint from the Amphibian Genomics Consortium (AGC) is now available on bioRxiv. This paper was greatly improved by the contributions of the AGC's diverse members 🐸🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A new paper by @odysyslab student Ed Gilbert and colleagues where we identify cross-talk between the ER - specific heat shock protein GRP94 (HSP90B1) and tissue-wide protein carbonylation (a marker for oxidative stress) in wild lizards (Gallotia galloti) 🧵journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

New paper: Concentrations of the plasticiser DEHP (leeching out of common household plastic products) in range with those in Mediterranean coastal waters affect egg number and -diameter in blue mussels. The grey line typically determines minimum diameters of fertilized eggs. 🧵

So I wrote this little paper showing that evolutionary constraint can be predicted from a gene's position within the PPI network. Sure, there are a lot of other processes at play. But I do think this is important, as it seems to hold up for both yeast and mammals..
