BioEnv-seminarium: “Fish and climate change: temperature, oxygen, ocean acidification, and a dash of fraud"

Tim Clark är professor i akvatisk zoologisk ekofysiologi vid Deakin University, Australien  och under det kommande året gästprofessor vid institutionen tack vare medel från Carl och Thecla Lambergs stiftelse. 

Kort introduktion (på engelska)

This talk will cover a few research topics with the hope of having broad interest to the diverse audience. First, it will provide an overview of our research to understand the physiological mechanisms underlying the “temperature-size rule”, which is the phenomenon whereby fish and other aquatic ectotherms do not grow as large under warm conditions. Second, it will discuss electronic tagging technologies that enable us to move from the lab to the field, providing an unprecedented understanding of how the physiology and behaviour of animals interact with their natural environment. Last, it will review our work on ocean acidification and coral reef fish behaviour, which unearthed a range of concerning aspects of the scientific system including “questionable research practices” and outright misconduct. Post-talk discussion is absolutely encouraged!
