New preprint! Strong but variable seasonal acclimation of thermal limits in Lake Champlain calanoid copepods. Really excited to get this out - our first steps into the freshwater realm!

One semester down (and what a semester it was…). A definite bright spot, however, has been watching our lab group grow! Looking forward to a summer full of science!

Excited to share our recent paper, which is one of the first phylogenomic analyses of copepods 🧪
TLDR: the order Harpacticoida should be split, with 2 families forming their own new order—Canuelloida

New from @jogriffiths61.bsky.social @mattsasaki.bsky.social Isabelle Neylan and me: Experimental evolution is especially useful for revealing trade-offs associated with adaptation to climate change stressors: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....
The Potential for Experimental Evolution to Uncover Trade‐Offs Associated With Anthropogenic and Climate Change Adaptation
Adapting to climate change stressors may be hampered by negative trade-offs that prevent the evolution of optimum values for all traits simultaneously. Therefore, an understanding of trade-offs is ne...
