Geothermal stickleback populations prefer cool water despite multigenerational exposure to a warm environment

The paper tests if geothermal stickleback populations exposed to warm environments prefer warmer temperatures, finding no shift in preferred temperature despite long-term exposure.

Evidence that standard metabolic rate and risk-taking to breathe air are linked to boldness, activity level and exploratory behaviour in a catfish.

The paper investigates the link between standard metabolic rate and risk-taking behavior in catfish, finding positive correlations with boldness but mixed results on activity and exploration.

Intraspecific variation in thermal tolerance differs between tropical and temperate fishes

The paper examines intraspecific variation in thermal tolerance among fish species, finding that tropical species have lower variation and are more vulnerable to climate change than temperate species.

Testing the predictability of morphological evolution in contrasting thermal environments

This study shows that morphological responses to temperature changes can be predictable in populations with limited gene flow, but less so when gene flow is present.

A comprehensive framework for handling location error in animal tracking data

This paper introduces a framework for handling location error in animal tracking data, showing that error-model selection improves analysis accuracy across various tracking devices and species.

Multigenerational exposure to elevated temperatures leads to a reduction in standard metabolic rate in the wild

This study shows that multigenerational exposure to elevated temperatures reduces standard metabolic rate in sticklebacks, with genetic divergence influenced by gene flow between thermal habitats.
