Our new paper is finally out @conphysjournal.bsky.social @sebiology.bsky.social

Here, we discuss eco-physiological singularities of wildlife coping with extreme conditions, present five study models and extract some ideas for conservation.

Dissociation is an evolved response and part of humanity's incredible biological success, our ability to bounce back from unfathomable terrors.

One of the many peculiar features of the #H5N1 oubreak is that if often leaves gannets with deeply pigmented irises (apparently a known effect of uveitis in this species). In a new paper, Petalas et al. put this effect to good use, as a proxy for monitoring exposure
