Hi All, I'm recruiting a new grad student to join my lab at UWyoming in Fall 2024. Broadly speaking, we work on speciation and adaptation in birds. More info about the opportunity is here: carlinglab.com/people/ Thanks for spreading the word.

Such a labor of love! All the years of tracking seedling fate and all the hours with undergrads Lewis & Clark College measuring traits of tiny plants... Traits matter - if you assess them at the stage where the mattering matters!

Large terrestrial herbivores influence tropical forest regeneration, affecting seedling communities 🌲 Conservation & trophic rewilding could play a key role in diversity & forest regeneration. Yet, trophic rewilding requires careful planning 📑 🔗doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Experiments show that seedling performance is similar, but fungal mutualism differs, near female & male trees in a dioecious species. doi.org/10.1111/oik.09… Nordic Society Oikos @WileyEcolEvol #ecology #mycorrhizal #plant #soil Jenalle Eck @CamilleDelavaux Simon Queenborough @LSComita

Schools will remain closed on Tuesday, says Portland Public Schools as bargaining continues. At 8 days out of school as of tomorrow, this is now the longest urban school district strike on the West Coast in recent years. LA was 3. Seattle was 5. Oakland was 7.

We analyzed 19 years of flowering data from the Fushan ForestGEO plot for 16 species. Our analysis revealed that the flowering times of 13 species were affected by temperature changes. Changing temperatures may impact flowering times, reshaping subtropical ecosystems.

This paper was the first step in working on a new topic for my postdoc work, and I'm so glad I had the chance to work with my amazing collaborators on it! Cheers Dr Emma Bush, Jason Vleminckx, Dr. Bismark Ofosu-Bamfo, Margaret Metz, Simon Queenborough, and Adeline Fayolle!

Really cool natural experiment about rainforests and warming!

REU program at Chicago Botanic Garden, From genes to ecosystems. Please share with plant-curious undergrads you know! Applications due Friday! pbcinternships.org #NSFREU

People who are still teaching students to use the passive voice in science writing: I don’t like you. You should be condemn to read all the boring text produced by your method.

Hey! If you are at #atbc2024 ATBC meeting and run into Dr Eleanor Slade @eleslade.bsky.social or Dr. Jennifer Powers, ask us for your own fabulous Biotropica sticker. Every laptop should have one!

Are you at #atbc2024 ATBC meeting in Kigali? Come meet the Biotropica Editorial Board and ask us any question you have about publishing your work Tuesday July 16th 16:15 to 17:30 hours in Room 3 of the venue

Thrilled to be part of the Cal Academy fellows! Congrats to all the new inductees!
