Excited to finally share my postdoctoral work! We argue that how urbanization - and its interaction with socio-economics within and between cities - shapes biodiversity patterns varies between temperate and dryland biomes (1/4).

Incredible, fast work by @uclasustainablela.bsky.social scientists demonstrating all the myriad ways that climate change led to extreme conditions causing larger, more intense burns in the #PalisadeFire and #EatonFire sustainablela.ucla.edu/2025lawildfi...

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

1. Thrilled to share a new paper from my group out this week in Ecosphere where we critique the much researched “luxury effect” in urban ecology and offer a power-based socioecological framework to complicate our understanding of how wealth may or may not influence biodiversity. #oa 🧵:
