More bad news for butterflies. Our new paper led by Wendy Leuenberger shows common species are declining even more rapidly than rare ones. @ZipkinLab Three decades of declines restructure butterfly communities in the Midwestern United States | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2501340122

In case this is helpful to someone out there: I'm moving to Ball State University this August, and I'll have a support for MS students over the next three years (RAs/TAs) If your lab has talented students graduating this spring, I welcome them to reach out and talk about the opportunities.

Do you think about the effects of wind on plants and animals? Check out a new paper in @sicbjournals.bsky.social that explores the effects of wind on plant and animal physiology: academic.oup.com/icb/advance-...

North Carolina Botanical Garden (Chapel Hill, NC) is recruiting for a Conservation Botanist! 🎓 Relevant post-Bacc degree req'd ⌛ full time, 2.5-year grant funded position contingent upon additional funding 📨 apps due 7/18 unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/303... #botanyjobs #plantconservationjobs

I’m a new subject-matter editor at Ecology - send your animal physiology research my way!

Any early career PIs also not hear back about last year’s career proposal yet?

Now at @asn-amnat.bsky.social, "Genome composition predicts physiological responses to temperature in polyploid salamanders" A project that @ecophysiology.bsky.social and I talked about since we were both PhD students! Funded by #NSF www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/pdf/10.1...

Pause for a minute to appreciate the valiant Program Officers still at NSF, who are doing their utmost to preserve what they can. They’re in the stinking rotting belly of the beast, laboring on our behalf. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ to them

Very happy to highlight a great paper by Owen Edwards et al in J Animal Ecology on changes in niche breadth and dispersal during a recent range shift of treefrogs 🐸! Paper: doi.org/10.1111/1365... Research Highlight: doi.org/10.1111/1365... @animalecology.bsky.social @ecophysiology.bsky.social

Hey folks- do you identify as being a member of a systemically minoritized group? Have you also worked, recreated, and/or conducted research in the outdoors? We're looking for more folks to contribute short narratives regarding their experiences. Ping me if interested! 🧪🌍

New manuscript from my grad student Colton Poore on lack of acclimation in bumblebee queens! Read more here: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Climate change will result in global stilling of wind speeds. @ecophysiology.bsky.social shows potential for super interesting interactions between warming, wind speed, animal coloration, body size and water loss. #SICB2025

Do you need a salamander phylogeny? You're in luck! We put together the largest salamander phylogeny to date based on molecular markers and used more fossil calibrations than any other currently available trees. 765 salamander species! Check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Waybright & Dillon combine new data on physiology with continental scale ground temperature data to develop landscapes of mortality risk for overwintering ectotherms, and apply the approach to predict mortality risk for overwintering bumble bee queens. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

We are looking for Spring 2025 speakers for the New York Regional Species Distribution Modeling Discussion Group. If you are local to the NY area and interested in giving an in-person talk at the American Museum of Natural History, please DM me! www.amnh.org/research/cen...

Led by undergrad Maya Moore in Eric Gangloff’s lab, resilience to lead contamination in urban wall lizards! #lizards #ecotoxicology www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
