Logo for symposium A13 "Adaptice responses of endotherms to short-term weather events and rapid environmental changes" to be held at the SEB annual conference in Florence, Italy, 2026. The image shows vertical colour bars of which the top half represents the global annual temperature increase (from light blue to dark red) and the bottom half shows the biodiversity index decline (from dark green to gray). Superimposed are four animal silhouettes, from top-left to bottom-right: a bat, songbird, a deer, and a rodent.
Join me, @julianowack.bsky.social and Matt Noakes at the @sebiology.bsky.social in Florence in July! We will discuss how mammals and birds cope physiologically with rapid and extreme environmental changes. Sponsored by @thermal-biology.bsky.social, @staroddi.bsky.social and @sablesys.bsky.social

π High-density farming raises stress in olive flounder
Researchers from Chonnam National Uni & National Inst of Fisheries Science in South Korea aimed to move beyond traditional stress indicators. They implanted 16 fish with our biologger DST milli-HRT: tinyurl.com/musf269v #Aquaculture #Elsevier
π¦ Tiny crab tenants reveal the coral reefβs hidden strength
KAUST, @rug.nl & Naturalis Biodiversity Center tracked 799 gall crabs living on 517 coral colonies. Our conductivity & temp loggers provided a crucial link between rising ocean temp and the coral communityβs collapse.
