New research from #MSU plant biologist Lauren Sullivan and her team challenges the assumption that soil seed banks will act as a "biodiversity reservoir" for grasslands. #Grasslands #Biodiversity #SeedBanks W.K. Kellogg Biological Station Lauren Sullivan Learn more: natsci.msu.edu/news/2023-07-d…

Bummed to be missing #esa2023 but excited to be starting a new chapter teaching at Union College very soon. Only 27 hours of driving to go! 🤣



Come be my colleague at Union College

Fellow #mosquito scientists - Where can you buy EVS traps in the US these days (now that BioQuip Products) is no more... Any leads appreciated!

New DragNet Global site in the books in upstate New York! Big thanks to my Ecology Union College Biology Department students for helping me setup the site. Can't wait to see what we learn about plant response to disturbance and fertilization at the Albany Pine Bush.



An amazing week in the Klamath mountains, resampling plots with @HumboldtBiolSci crew. 100+ leaf samples collected for Union College Biology Department thesis project. Now back to Union College for stable isotope analysis to learn about plant stress across elevation and water gradients. #LetsGo


En route to #esa2024 in Long Beach! Like every year, I look forward to the science & the MUSIC 🪕🎻🎶! The Ecological Society band "The Latebreakers" will perform after the plenary on Sunday & will host jam sessions (open to all) in the lobby starting Mon during poster sessions. Join us!


Just me (+ the pollinators, and the 8ft tall goldenrods) harvesting biomass at my new DragNet Global site this year at Albany Pine Bush. Nice to be in the field, workin' hard 💪

Fun times and gorgeous fall foliage with Union College Biology Department students in Scoharie creek. Thank SchoharieRiverCenter ! Union College
