New paper in press @J_Exp_Biol - we discussed how a focus on means in experimental biology could constrain the scope of inquiry. We showed how quantile regression (QR) can be a useful statistical tool for exploring this. 1/7

Frog science hot off the press!
A story about 🐸🧬🌞❄️
We found that tadpoles raised in cold waters can protect themselves against the harmful effects of UV exposure that occurs at cold temperatures - strong evidence of thermal acclimation! (1/4)

Accepted article🐸!! We argued that carryover effects (delayed effects of environment on organism) are often overlooked in studies that investigate environmental drivers of amphibian declines - which tend to focus on single life-history stages bit.ly/40qaJWE (1/4)

My first PhD chapter was just published in Biology Letters. We found the significant DNA damage/repair that tadpoles experience after UV exposure can depend on their thermal environment, but not always - and the exact nature is species-dependant ☀️🧬(1/4)

Such a privilege to yarn with Mike Pingleton and Dr Alex Krohn on all things acid frogs, Wallum ecosystems, and the ecophysiology of pobblebonks... Thanks guys🐸

Australia’s scarlet-sided pobblebonk tadpoles live in water so acidic – with a pH similar to human stomach acid – that it should be deadly newscientist.com/article/233…

Check out our new research on the physiology of the amazing scarlet-sided pobblebonk - one of the world's remarkable 'acid frogs'!
Some science! Tadpoles of the scarlet-sided pobblebonk can survive in naturally acidic waters around the same pH as stomach acid - but how? Our research in @J_Exp_Biol shows that environmental calcium and adaptations to calcium transport in the gills may play a role.

My new study out in Aquaculture investigated the impact of dietary acidification on the energy cost of digestion, acid base regulation and growth in juvenile barramundi. “A spoonful of acid helps the fish food cost less!” Here’s the summary (1):
