btw where is this??? its stunning!

aw thanks! yes, I'm going to do it!!

Are you searching for a postdoc in Saskatchewan? I have a 1-year opportunity (with possible extension), effective immediately! This opportunity is a Mitacs Elevate with the Canadian Prairies Prescribed Fire Exchange! Reach out if you're interested! 🐦🔥

The Ivy Lab! - Welcome to the Ivy Lab!

Do you like songbirds? Are you concerned about how wildfire smoke may impact their physiology?

I'm searching for graduate students who are interested in looking at the effect of wildfire smoke on songbird physiology! Come join my lab @usaskartsci.bsky.social!

I’m recruiting a PhD student in macrogenetics at Dalhousie University 🇨🇦! Focus will be on the biogeography of vertebrate genetic diversity or urban evolutionary ecology.
Full ad: www.schmidt-biodiversity-lab.org/macrogenetic...
If the ad is up, applications are still open.
Please share widely! 🧬🧬

You're so inspiring Holly! In all ways, but today on your #figaday! Any tips for getting started? Can photos count? :) I've always wanted to do this, but am not sure how I can do a graph a day :)

📈 This is what progress looks like! This working group, hosted by the CEM & funded by CIEE, brought together several bright minds from McGill, Yale, the Norwegian University of Science & Technology, and @uofguelph.bsky.social to focus on linking organismal thermal tolerance to population processes.

If these talks look interesting to you, we’ll be recruiting new grad students in 2026/27!

Leading the ZULE lab is the best part of my job, and we prioritize kind, thoughtful scholars who want to do rigorous research in community: www.carlyziter.com. Is that you? Come chat! #CSEE2025

Awww thank you Seema!!

Woohoo!! Welcome to Guelph @carlingbieg.bsky.social!! We are so excited to have you join us!! 🌊

Soo cool!! Looking forward to reading it!

Elevated light and CO2 levels increase photosynthetic rates of diverse snow algal communities from the North Cascades Microalgae adapted to near-zero temperatures and high light levels live on snowfields and glaciers worldwide. Snow algae have red-colored pigments that darken snow surfaces, lowering its albedo and .....

✨ New paper! ✨ Excited to share our research on #snow #algae! We experimentally tested the physiological responses of diverse snow algal communities collected from the North Cascades of WA to elevated light & CO2 levels ❄️🏔️🔬 @living-snow-proj.bsky.social @newphyt.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/nph....

🚨New paper alert!! 🚨 This is a paper will change the way you think about biological responses to environmental change -- putting short- and long-term responses in a range of systems under one conceptual roof.

Huge congrats Professor Whitton ✨!! Thank you for being an inspiration and role model -- I appreciate that you lead with your values and with clarity of purpose and thought ♥️

Ecological acclimation: A framework to integrate fast and slow responses to climate change Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.

A synthetic paper about fast vs. slow responses of ecological systems to changing climate, explaining how and why those responses can shift (even in sign) over time. Examples across scales and subdiscplines (population genetics, ecosystem ecology). besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Graphical abstract illustrating four recommendations for ecological modeling with aquatic animals. Be interdisciplinary and across levels: Includes icons for population biology (a bar chart of age structure) and behavioral ecology (a pie chart showing habitat use), plus a zoomed-in illustration of individual porpoises within a group. Use mechanistic modeling instead of statistics as a conceptual framework: A curved line plot shows respiration increasing with temperature, with data points color-coded by temperature and a shaded area indicating stressful conditions. Emphasize realism over precision: Shows a fish in a naturalistic habitat with plants and conspecifics, contrasted with a lone fish in a bare tank. Include stressful conditions: Reiterated through both the curved plot and a separate graph with three treatments, where respiration increases across treatments and with temperature, with the highest temperature range shaded in red.

Excited to share our new paper on how empirical research can better support mechanistic models—through realistic, interdisciplinary data and by embracing complex, individual-level mechanisms. Born from a @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social symposium!

k-mer-based diversity scales with population size proxies more than nucleotide diversity in a meta-analysis of 98 plant species Abstract. A key prediction of neutral theory is that the level of genetic diversity in a population should scale with population size. However, as was note

Hey, Miles' @milesroberts.bsky.social beautiful paper showing that sequence diversity missed by standard methods contributes to Lewontin's paradox is officially published in @evolletters.bsky.social. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...

We had an amazing time in the Blue Mountains with our @ciee-icee.bsky.social working group!! Thanks for joining us @cam-g.bsky.social @jennsunday.bsky.social and others!! 🌊⛰️🌡️ it was super inspiring and refreshing and definitely a bright spot in science this year ✨

We were talking today about load-bearing people.

Like how odd it is that we think of load-bearing walls or columns in a building, but often not the people that keep a place/organisation/community running. People who do more than many realise.

So, yeah… Look after your load-bearing people, people.

Big thanks to @idiv-research.bsky.social for hosting us for an amazing working group - this was a super inspiring, generous and kind group of people - heading home feeling inspired! Thanks to @bugecology.bsky.social and @kemarshall.bsky.social for leading 🧪🎉✨
