Hello! I'm a postdoc interested in community ecology and macroecology of vertebrates and plants. I study biodiversity patterns and processes through a functional perspective. I would love to come give a talk at UMaine!

I’m excited to share a new paper with @shannoncurley.bsky.social in Ecography! Winter & breeding bird communities in the NE USA have become more functionally & phylogenetically similar to one another over time. Check out which functions have changed!

New paper out led by the awesome @peterw-ecol.bsky.social ! Check out how winter and breeding bird communities in the northeastern US are becoming phylogenetically and functionally more similar to each other over time (and in such an interesting way!)

Hey #StatsSky, what are you favorite papers to cite when you need to justify something that is obvious (I once had a reviewer ask we justify the use of logistic regression on a binary outcome)
or when you need to push-back on silly reviewer requests (e.g., asking for p-values in table 1)?
