🔥 New study: 85% of remaining #LongleafPine habitat faces tropical storm-force winds every 6 years. We explore how #storms, #fire, insects, and salvage logging interact to shape resilience—and what managers can do about it. bit.ly/44QK3Uk Led by @nzampieri.bsky.social

Excited to share I'll be starting as an asst professor in the department of biology @ University of Central Florida @ucf.bsky.social later this year 😀 super excited for this next step and officially recruiting graduate students!!! #GoKnights #ChargeOn

Advancing hurricane ecology to improve ecological resilience in endangered systems Abstract. Endangered coastal ecosystems, such as biodiverse longleaf pine savannas, have historically been resistant and resilient to the impacts of tropic

New pub 🚨 Biodiverse #longleaf habitats are threatened by changing #hurricane regimes 🌀. We review hurricane #ecology, assess risk across scales, and outline adaptive management strategies. We find 85% of habitat sees cyclone winds every 6 yrs and threats are compounded by human management actions

The abstract deadline for #WorldDendro2025 has been extended until April 30th! Calling all dendros! #DendroTilYouDie @treeringsociety.bsky.social

I am in the middle of a field campaign prepping for my research plot to burn in 2 weeks, so we are taking clip plots to estimate fuels. Heres some wiregrass (Aristida beyrichiana) resprouted ~3 days post clipping, which mimics a rapid fire response!! #PlantsAreCool #RxFire

Science funding agency threatened with mass layoffs National Science Foundation staff heard the plans at a meeting Tuesday.

Sabotage. Criminal sabotage.

"[The NSF] is planning to lay off between a quarter and a half of its staff in the next two months, a top National Science Foundation official said Tuesday."

We’ve seen periods of darkness before.

But it’s the resolution to keep yourself shining brightly through that darkness which keeps the long arc of progress moving forward ✨

NSF grantees - people who have already received their grants based on a previously funded and approved research proposal - are being told to stop any activities related to DEI and accessibility.
Call this what it is: government censorship of ongoing research projects.

Ready to learn how to use LiDAR for research in #forestry and natural resources using #R? This week I am sharing our 7-part series on Bluesky to help you get started! Share with anyone you know who wants to get started. Part 1 covers acquiring, & viewing LiDAR data! bit.ly/lidR-module1

Bayesian views of generalized additive modelling Generalized additive models (GAMs) are a frequently used, flexible framework applied to many problems in statistical ecology. They are commonly used to incorporate smooth effects into models via s...

All my ecology peeps slinging the GAM(M)s might find this paper interesting. I was surprised to learn there is a frequentist interpretation of GAM(M)s! (jk) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The 11th WorldDendro call for abstracts is open now! Abstracts due Feb 15th. WorldDendro will be held in Livingstone, Zambia from July 28th - Aug 1st, 2025. See our website for more info: sites.google.com/view/african... please share!!!!

Starter Packs are great, but they favor well established individuals (understandably so). To help prop up new voices, here is a set of early career ecologists (self defined) who are, or would like to become, active on BlueSky

Please reply if you would like to be included!
