Here is his blog about it! Congratulations Danilo! royalsociety.org/blog/2024/09...
The authors of a new Royal Society Open Science article, Danilo Giacometti and Glenn Tattersall, tell us about their research exploring thermoregulatory strategies of a burrowing salamander.
New paper from Danilo Giacometti's PhD work is out tattersalllab.com/2024/09/04/s...
Very pleased to have my PhD student, Danilo Giacometti's paper accepted recently in Royal Open Science. This represents the culmination of over a year's work carefully measuring temperature selection....
A new paper out from our lab on reptile welfare and curious behaviours: tattersalllab.com/2024/03/22/c...
Our paper received a nice write-up in Science: tattersalllab.com/2023/12/13/s...www.science.org/content/arti...
please feel free to use them in your course! contact info can be found at TattersallLab.com.
I thought I would share some images of Trumpeter swans overwintering in Burlington, Ontario (image from Feb 2017). You can see them capable of the bypass shunt to dump excess heat, since on mild days like this, they're so well insulated.
I might recommend co-authors Sara Ryding or Dr. Alexa McQueen. Sara wrote this nice review www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...www.nature.com/articles/s41... Sara is looking for a post-doc position as well. :-)
you might find our recent paper of interest then: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
both appendages are involved in heat loss/gain to the environment. The main thing we show in this study is that limbs, more broadly (14 species of birds) can vasoconstrict fully in the cold, whereas broadly speaking, bills do not. There will be exceptions for some species I'm sure.
