Also a pretty convenient place to work if you use fish as your study animals - we were out collecting some today to bring into captivity for experiments with Paul Frost. 😎

New pub! 🚨 We measured specific dynamic action and aerobic scope in adult walleye across a range of temperatures. Sex, body mass, and ration size had notable effects on the metabolic response to feeding. Some details below. doi.org/10.1242/jeb.24…

🔥📢 New preprint! 📢🔥 In an interesting twist, Leach's storm-petrels could benefit from provided hide boxes in illuminated stranding hotspots, owing to the light avoidance behaviour they display after stranding! Trent Biology #research ReNew Zoo #biology #birds #seabirds

Three weeks into the semester and I just want to say that I ❤️teaching first year undergrads. They are enthusiastic and so excited to be Trent University. I feel privileged to able to support them during their first semester. I love research but missed teaching during my CRC.

Two years ago, we demonstrated that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic likely began at the Huanan Market via zoonosis resulting from the wildlife trade. Many unanswered questions remained about the animals themselves. Some answers, out today in Cell. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
