Our lab is represented at the @iavs5.bsky.social meeting by Rachel Hopkins who will discuss how elevational distributions of plants changed over 60 years with climate warming on the legendary Whiteface Mountain of New York State. If you can, check her talk out: Aug. 2, 1:30 PM, Spruce Suites.

Congrats!

Interesting & consistent with other work. Looking forward to reading this!

#Mediterranean #Botany, Part 3. The Mediterranean open scrub (phrygana, garrigue) has a desert-like summer climate & it occurs on rockier & more disturbed sites than taller & denser Mediterranean maquis (macchia, chaparral). The plants here are fascinating! Do you know these few?

#Mediterranean #Botany, Part 2. Crete has a fun mix of hardy native trees such as the Mediterranean juniper & olive (top) as well as many trees introduced from across the world, some of which have been cultivated in Crete for centuries such as date palm & pomegranate (bottom). 🌎

#Mediterranean #Botany on #Crete - Katharo plateau & the Dikti range where Zeus was born: Kermes oak, Italian poppy & Garland daisy, Purple-star thistle, & Mediterranean cypress are just a few of many fun plants on the island that once nurtured the first European civilization. 🌎

Thank you Pedro!

Thanks Elizabeth!

Thanks Pablo!

Thanks Sean!

Thanks Federico!

Thanks, Jonathan!

Excited to share that I’ve been promoted to Professor (full) @sunyesf.bsky.social starting Sept 1! It’s been a winding path across countries & continents. Thanks to my fantastic mentors, colleagues, & students who walked with me along the way. I could not have done it without you. 🥂

Really excited about this new collaboration with the group of a great colleague @hulshof.bsky.social. What a nice opportunity for the interns @sunyesf.bsky.social to learn about the @nybg.bsky.social herbarium collections, dry tropical forests 🌳 🌴, & seed 🫘 traits!

Exciting day @ The Steere Herbarium @nybg.bsky.social with interns from @sunyesf.bsky.social. The interns will spend the summer at the herbarium assisting with the study of seed traits of neotropical dry forest trees 🌳 🌴 lead by @pablolopezbust.bsky.social from Virginia Commonwealth University 🌎🧪

🌎🧪🌐 My amazing field team @sunyesf.bsky.social led by my CoPI & postdoc @nathankiel.bsky.social have just completed the first week of installing #Tomst sensors to quantify microclimate across temperate-boreal 🌳🌲forest ecotones on mountains in the northeastern US. Exciting and…more to come❗️

🛎️Kudos to Danny Wehner for receiving a Graduate Student Research Award from @botsocamerica.bsky.social
for his study "An Uphill Battle: Seed Dispersal & Mycorrhizal 🍄🌱 Constraints on the Climate-driven Upslope Migration of Trees Species in the Northeastern U.S."

Congratulations to Dr. Joanna Lumbsden-Pinto on receiving the Outstanding PhD Scholar Award & completing her PhD on pine barrens’ ecology (stay tuned for the papers!) @sunyesf.bsky.social. It was a pleasure to serve as Joanna’s advisor & to celebrate her many accomplishments this past week.

Sounds like a great effort! Prague is one of my favorite cities and it is good to see the new center there.

Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum) in full bloom this weekend in upstate New York. As a spring ephemeral, this species produces flowers, fruits, & seeds before temperate deciduous tree canopy above leafs out, & it dies back afterward.

These pretty new flowers of sharp-lobed hepatica (Hepatica/Anemone acutiloba) announce that true springtime arrived to Upstate New York at last. Did you know that the Cherokee used this plant to make tea to cure cough? Happy International Plant Appreciation Day! #Botany

🎉 Congratulations to Rachel Hopkins on excellent MSc defense & seminar “Plants on the move: Tracking 60 years of vegetation shifts on Whiteface Mountain, New York State” @sunyesf.bsky.social. We celebrated hers & other lab members’ recent accomplishments @ Alto Cinco! Stay tuned for the papers! 🌲🪻⛰️

🏆 Congratulations to our new MS student, Danny Wehner, for receiving Lowe-Wilcox Graduate Fellowship at @sunyesf.bsky.social @sunyofficial.bsky.social for his field research on the effects of mycorrhiza 🍄 on tree seedling 🌱 establishment across montane-temperate forest ecotones. Well done Danny!

👏Very proud of my PhD student, Joanna Lumbsden-Pinto, who successfully defended her dissertation today on "Patterns & Drivers of Vegetation Change in Pine Barren Ecosystems in the Northeastern United States" @sunyesf.bsky.social @sunyofficial.bsky.social! Congratulations Dr. Lumbsden-Pinto 🏆🌎🧪
