This is so cool! Looking forward to reading it :)

I am a little behind in sharing the newest pre-prints from the lab. First, Ariel Favier (an incredible graduate student) sampled bacteria (Gammaproteobacteria) all over California to evaluate if there was signs of local adaptation to temperature: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Introgression and parental conflict shape repeated occurrences of postzygotic isolation in Mimulus Postzygotic reproductive isolation is often thought to accumulate as a byproduct of neutral divergence. Yet it frequently evolves rapidly, in line wit…

I am SO THRILLED to share our first fully-lab lab paper!!!!!! Led by @hybridzones.bsky.social & @hagarsoliman.bsky.social, w/ a major assist from @pfschwarz.bsky.social!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read more below, if you're curious (you should be- it's AWESOME!!!!!!!)

Joyeuse Journée internationale des femmes! Nous sommes reconnaissants envers les femmes extraordinaires qui dirigent (et qui ont dirigé) la SCEE, ainsi qu’envers toutes les femmes écologistes et biologistes de l’évolution à travers le Canada pour leur travail essentiel.

Happy International Women’s Day! We are grateful to the incredible women who lead (and have led) the Canadian Society of Ecology and Evolution, & to all the women ecologists & evolutionary biologists across Canada for their important work. You help make our society, country, & planet a better place!

Many heat-stressed tropical insects are reaching their limits Vast study in Peru and Kenya confirms limited defenses against rising temperatures, redoubling climate concerns

Researchers in the US might be having feelings about writing grants atm-I know I am!

We still need to write them. In this Evolution Exchange, I again chat with Sam Scheiner, who summarizes how to write a competitive proposal.

His advice is gold, and helpful regardless of funder. Pls RT!

💬 In the second installment of The Evolution Exchange, retired NSF Program Officer Dr. Sam Scheiner returns to discuss how to craft a successful research proposal. Watch or read the transcript here: www.evolutionsociety.org/the-evolutio...

Trading Away Blue Nutrients In Pacific Island Countries, blue foods play a central role in diets, culture, and livelihoods. However, global trade patterns often redistribute seafood - and thus blue nutrients - away from where th...

New publication @thermal-biology.bsky.social!
We show that non-invasive thermal cameras can measure thoracic temperatures in wild bees in the field. New tool to ID potential heat stress under #climatechange.
Congrats to undergrad Mei McFeely on publishing her thesis #microclimate #pollinators 🐝🎉🌻

Spatial structure: shaping the ecology and evolution of microbial communities Spatial structure naturally emerges in microbial communities, shaping growth, interactions, and evolution, and revealing how microscale processes scale up

Most microbes don't live in shaking flasks; spatial structure shapes how microbes interact and evolve at every scale, as we discuss in our recent review @jeroenmeijer.bsky.social @simonvanvliet.bsky.social @bedutilh.bsky.social @bramvandijk.bsky.social and others

Excited to share our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com We synthesize causal discovery & inference approaches across traditions (regression adjustment, quasi-expts, SEMs, Granger causality, convergent cross-mapping, and more) into a unified workflow for ecologists. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Imposter Syndrome: A Buzzword with Damaging Consequences Like many racially minoritized faculty who engage in work for equity and social justice, we are no strangers to the daily manifestations of systems of oppression and oppressive behavior in academia. R...

"Calling it ‘imposter syndrome’ hides the fact that oppressive systems teach many of us to actively suppress and hate ourselves. It’s not imposter syndrome, it is the consequences of oppression"

Degradation of fish food webs in the Anthropocene The decrease in body size driven by the selective species turnover is widely altering fish food web topology and function.

New paper out examining fish food web degradation in the Anthropocene. We show the structure of aquatic food webs are changing-- even when species richness doesn’t. These signals are strongly associated with decreases in body size within fish communities. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🌐🐠🐡🦈🐟
