Happy New Year! Decided to codify some (but not all) of my New Year resolutions in this sketch. Hoping this will help me follow through.

Consider applying for the Robert E. Chason Endowed Chair in Translational Research at the UC Davis MIND Institute! Join a vibrant community of colleagues studying neurodevelopment conditions like autism. UC Davis is an excellent place to work and live. Find more details here: lnkd.in/gZRyViNa

Happy to see our analysis on scaling up temperature x nutrient interactions from populations to communities published in Ecological Monographs @esajournals.bsky.social! 📈

Excited to share our paper in @pnas.org with Aldo Compagnoni and Tom Miller ! Climate change may push dioecious plants toward female-biased sex ratios which will impair seed production. Ignoring this feedback underestimates range shifts. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Looking forward to the Modern Coexistence Theory workshop tomorrow. Please repost :)

Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Big bluestem has been a lovely and complex system to work with for the majority of my PhD and will always have a piece of my heart! Very excited to share this work with the community.

Are you (or your trainee) interested in sensory ecology? behavior? evolution? fieldwork? spiders? Drop me a line Jstafstr(at)iu.edu

New study out in Ecology Letters 🌱🐑! Using long-term Åland monitoring data, we found that herbivory increases plant diversity across scales and flips the diversity–area relationship: a positive relationship is found in grazed sites while a negative one in ungrazed sites. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Writing papers is hard But, and this is Very important: Not writing papers is also hard The frustration & stress that comes from not getting your papers written and published is huge If you need help with this PLEASE, take a copy of my book from a library, amazon or a friend! I hope it helps💪

Excited to hype up this excellent paper led by Mia Lippey, finishing up her PhD at @ucdavis.bsky.social, and in collaboration with @beckyck.bsky.social, @dskarp.bsky.social + others, finding that once again in (agro)ecology "it depends". 👩‍🔬 🐞🪲🌍🌐🧪 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirec...

I'm really excited to see this paper by @fernpizza.bsky.social, @baym.lol, et al. This is a great model system for studying multilevel selection, and the experimental work builds nicely on cross-scale theoretical modeling approaches that I've enjoyed learning about over the past few years. 🧵

ARTISTS! I need your help! In collab. w/the Society for Integrative & Comparative Biology, I'm organizing a group of artists to come to our Jan. meeting! We're looking for artists to create based on what they learn at the conference. $1000 stipend. Application is V short! forms.gle/ah1i8KwNJinZ...

Ostrich unhappy with my attempt to recall some basic facts about continuous time Markova chains and branching processes

I recently moved my lab to Purdue University and am looking for graduate students. We are working at the interface of population genomics, quantitative genetics and functional genomics to understand how plants adapt to extreme environments. Reach out if you would like to discuss potential projects.

Unbeknownst to me at the time, yesterday was fountain pen day which may explain why I found myself doing a few sketches and taking lots of notes while reading Harris's book on branching processes 😜 #fountainpenday #fountainpenday2025

Hi all! I am seeking an ecology or applied math PhD student interested in quantitative ecology, specifically ecological theory, food web modeling, or population dynamics. If you are interested, have a look at our lab website below and reach out to me. resiliencelab.github.io/join/

Ecology faces an accumulation of models but not an accumulation of confidence. Our new paper w/ Jonathan Levine www.nature.com/articles/s41... in @natecoevo.nature.com introduces a rigorous test rooted in queueing theory to falsify inadequate models and build confidence in useful ones.
