Attending the Unifying Ecology Across Scales GRC was one of the highlights of my PhD, and this year's edition is going to be excellent! All biologists interested in integrating diverse approaches to further our understanding of the natural world are welcome. Register early! shorturl.at/rIjWx

Not really a "figure" but many of you have heard me talk about this gender bias calculator and, since we're in rec letter writing season, I thought I'd share it. slowe.github.io/genderbias/ #figaday 4.164/n #year4

Canada’s federal blue economy strategy avoids the most harmful marine industries, but permitted ones (shipping, fisheries) may still have negative biodiversity impacts & detract from our 30x30 targets. My new paper defines the conservation economy to help reconcile this... surl.li/jbnvxh

Excited to share our fresh-off-the-press Annual Review on the role of temperature in metabolic scaling! We review the state of the field on this topic and unpack confusion about the various ways the term "scaling" is used in metabolic theories. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Most major theories in ecology assume some sort of equilibrium, but only ~half of empirical tests acknowledge it & even fewer observed it in their system. Does this matter? How did the idea become so pervasive in ecology anyway? Find out in our new paper! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Special Feature available ahead of print! Stark et al. revisit assumptions in the metabolic theory of ecology that explains macroecological patterns in biological rates from individuals to ecosystems through fundamental constraints on metabolism. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Thrilled to share our new paper in @asn-amnat.bsky.social "Toward a more dynamic metabolic theory of ecology for predicting climate change effects on biological systems" www.naturl.link/9jpy6M It's one of several papers in an upcoming special feature "Demystifying Fundamental Theories in Ecology"
