My supervisor and I wrote an article for The Conversation about our recently published paper: theconversation.com/new-rese…
New research reveals animals are changing their body shapes to cope with climate change

New research reveals animals are changing their body shapes to cope with climate change

‘Shape shifting’ animals are evolving to deal with heat – by changing the size of their ears, tails, bills and other appendages.

NEW PAPER: Bill size measurements - 3D surface scanners have high potential in avian morphometric research, especially for studies necessitating large sample sizes collected by multiple observers. ➡️ vist.ly/3eazd @zuuletc @TattersallG @Deakin #ornithology #birds
Fig. 1 from the article: The 28 species included in this study cover a wide range of bird species and bill shapes.

Our 2nd #TagTeam talk is by Matt Symonds, @zuuletc, & @alx_mcqueen who will talk about how #ClimateChange is forcing animals to adapt to higher/extreme temps 🥵 & how birds in particular are changing their body morphology to deal with these thermal challenges 🐦 #AustEvolSoc2022

Just a girl and her #bees. Here's hoping I've found some smart bees to work with me🤞My lab - the ICEB Group - is focused on understanding the cognition of miniature 🐝🧠 and looking at insect foraging 🌻 and pollination 🌼➡️🍓 🐝🧠🍯🦋 Stay tuned! 🐜🌸🍎🍏
