Results from a globally replicated experiment: microbes respond to temperature in a very well known way, but termites are much more sensitive to temperature. Termites are massively understudied for how important they are globally, and warming is likely to make them more important

Rodd Kelsey Planting large scale new forests in existing deserts and drylands would quite likely have a net planetary warming effect, all while disrupting existing ecosystems. So this is quite different than preservkng/restoring tropical/temperate forests.

From large carnivore research 🐻 to environmental education 🧪, the #DangermondPreserve is a protected 24,364-acre living laboratory on California's wild coast.

This is conceptually SO easy to fix. It just should not be happening!! Let’s at least do the simple things like turn the lights off and save energy along with modifying building codes. #birds #conservation

It’s time to manage California’s water for the realities of climate change. #CAdrought nature.ly/3re5GJW

The #DangermondPreserve is a living laboratory that conserves natural and cultural resources, conducts applied conservation research, advances #conservationtech and educates youth in the local community. Learn more at nature.org/DangermondPres….

Have I mentioned how fun, educational and worthwhile it is to listen to #Oologies. Pick an episode on a topic you “don’t have any interest in” and you’ll change your mind. Great antedote to listening to the news. Thanks ⁦Alie Ward⁩ and team!! pca.st/podcast/eb7f8f…

Bringing back these master ecosystem engineers will be transformative! And a cost effective way to restore #ecosystems and #climate #resilience

Really neat paper illustrating how large-scale deforestation (&, critically, *afforestation*) can directly yield quite large & regionally-varying climate shifts even before changes in carbon cycle are considered. Forests truly are an integral part of Earth's #climate system!

Tune in tonight @ 7 pm PST for the California Academy of Sciences "Nightschool" for talks on the value of seasonal resources for wildlife. I'll be on w/ Kristin Sesser of @PointBlueConSci to talk about BirdReturns - delivering habitat for shorebirds on their epic journeys: protect-us.mimecast.com/s/myTVCwpyxjIJ…

What a legacy! He left a big impact on the land and in our hearts. He was a great inspiration and partner in crime to save nature. We miss him.

Nice to see our paper on improving research impact (impact.sciencejon.com) being used in a lesson on actionable science! sesync.org/resources/acti… @wooddecomp @bradfordlab Rodd Kelsey

Last week, we hosted the Point Conception Institute Science Symposium w/ UCSB Geography & the Dangermond Conservation Foundation. The symposium focused on accelerating collaboration for conservation & celebrated over 70 research projects taking place at the #DangermondPreserve ✨

Congrats to California Trout, Trout Unlimited & The Nature Conservancy in California for the accomplishments of the Salmon & Steelhead Coalition over the last 10 years & to their honorees @JimWoodAD2 and Assemblymember Steve Bennett . No fish were harmed in the production of this photo. #bigfish #salmon #biodiversity

The Klamath wetlands of California and Oregon are absolutely critical to saving migratory wetland birds. Check out this video about why and the work we are doing to help understand their importance and to save them (The Nature Conservancy in California @PointBlueConSci Audubon California)

WFO is one of those rare orgs that combine science w/ engaging a community of naturalists. Great example of how the study of birds has always benefited from the "amateur" community as much as from the "professionals" #ornithology #birds #nature #Science youtube.com/watch?v=jrhnMm…
