A burning question: what are the risks and benefits of mammalian torpor during and after fires?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Although wildfires are increasing globally, available information on how mammals respond behaviourally and physiologically to fires is scant. Despite a large number of ecological studies, often examining animal diversity ... -
Are model organisms representative for climate change research? Testing thermal tolerance in wild and laboratory zebrafish populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Model organisms can be useful for studying climate change impacts, but it is unclear whether domestication to laboratory conditions has altered their thermal tolerance and therefore how representative of wild populations ... -
Being stressed outside the park — conservation of African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Namibia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The conservation of the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) is of prime importance for many African countries. Interactions between elephants and humans are known to induce stress and thereby have the potential ... -
Consequences of climate-induced vegetation changes exceed those of human disturbance for wild impala in the Serengeti ecosystem
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In East Africa, climate change is predicted to reduce vegetation quality, and pervasive human disturbance has already resulted in significant declines in biodiversity. We studied the combined effects of reduced forage ... -
Investigating the gill-oxygen limitation hypothesis in fishes: intraspecific scaling relationships of metabolic rate and gill surface area
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021) -
A novel method for measuring acute thermal tolerance in fish embryos
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Aquatic ectotherms are vulnerable to thermal stress, with embryos predicted to be more sensitive than juveniles and adults. When examining the vulnerability of species and life stages to warming, comparable methodology ... -
The old and the large may suffer disproportionately during episodes of high temperature: evidence from a keystone zooplankton species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Widespread declines in the body size of aquatic ectotherms have been attributed to the poorer ability of older, larger individuals to tolerate high temperature. Here, using the thermal death time curve framework, we ... -
Thermal physiology and activity in relation to reproductive status and sex in a free-ranging semelparous marsupial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In a changing climate, southern hemisphere mammals are predicted to face rising temperatures and aridity, resulting in food and water shortages, which may further challenge already constrained energetic demands. Especially ... -
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) behaviour is largely unaffected by elevated pCO2
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Ocean acidification, the decrease in ocean pH caused by anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide, can cause behavioural disturbances in marine teleost species. We investigated whether AB-strain zebrafish (Danio rerio) show ...
