Wait, no... Blue is negative. Then only those will get presents?

Am I interpreting correctly that southern-most populations will get no gifts from Santa this year.?

What about all the water streams you didn't help warm up? Fish are cold too!

Expert‐led priorities for a response diversity research agenda in ecology Response diversity describes variation in ecological responses to environmental change. Response diversity is expected to drive ecological stability since a wider variety of responses to one or more ...

🚨The #ResponseDiversityNetwork (RDN)'s first publication is out!
Response diversity still sails in muddy waters, with researchers disagreeing on definitions, applicable scales and how it relates to ecological stability. These and other findings will guide #RDN innitiatives and work.
Stay tuned!

Only a few more days to apply to join our committee! See below for details:

Maybe too late but try Ben Blonder? He's work on leaf trait spectrum -- not sure about biochem.

Thank you. We need more (well-established) labs and people leading by example. In my case, I feel like I'm being pushed against a wall and if I don't use AI I'll be doomed to be less productive, less competitive, less etc etc etc.

Our plea to ecological interation network (EINs) researchers and managers/decision-makers to _explicitly_ integrate the science into practice! Yes, there's is a LOT of uncertainty, but we've come far in our knowledge about EINs and have far more data than before. The time is NOW

Grant-funded labs are incentivized to admit students who already know how to do research to serve as cheap labor. That puts students who’ve had the most access and resources at a major advantage. This shapes admissions practices more than people are willing to admit but yelling about testing is easy
