Excited to launch the new improved Reproducible Code guide from @britishecologicalsociety.org @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social FREE online here! www.britishecologicalsociety.org//wp-content/... Amazing work by some very talented ECRs. We hope it’s useful!

🚨New paper!🚨 Models predict trees like beech will migrate north as climate warms, but rarely consider tree reproduction. Jessie shows these “refuges” are exactly where climate warming will disrupt seed production the most. They may not be such great climate refuges after all. doi.org/10.1111/ele....

I am happy to share my first publication is out in the scientific world. Based on my undergraduate honours biology thesis research at Queen’s University (2024), we explore how urbanization and host-plant gardens impact the occupation of its specialist herbivores. You can check it out here! 🌿🐛

New paper out today in Ecology Letters! In this synthesis we dive into the equilibrium assumption in ecology - why it's everywhere in ecological theory, the evidence for it in nature, when meeting the assumption is important, how to achieve it in empirical research, and more! tinyurl.com/yh6kyysm

Check out our paper here! 🐛

Published now with @rishonavemulapalli.bsky.social! We investigated how urbanization might inhibit species interactions between common milkweed and specialized herbivores, and how milkweed in garden habitat might ameliorate these negative effects. resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I'm very proud to receive the 2025 Robert P. McIntosh Award from the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social Vegetation Section at #ESA2025 with an amazing group of colleagues, for our paper on Community #MastSeeding. 🥳 Paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... Award info: esa.org/vegetation/a...

#ESA2025! We would love to fill this up with signatures. Let's show support to the folks at NSF. Find it Wednesday morning at the spot below, and it'll be at the NSF funding session at 10-11:30am.

If you’re at ESA @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social 2025 in Baltimore, come check out my talk about population dynamics and the geographic range limits of a coastal dune plant! Tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8:45am in Hilton 5!

I'm giving a talk on Monday at #ESA2025, in the OOS about #phenology "Beyond Budburst" (3:30-5:00pm), organized by Luke McCormack & Christy Rollinson. There's a great list of speakers. I'm presenting at 4:30pm. Room: Hilton Key 8 🚨 NOTE: Individual talk times within the session were updated today!

Undertook a side-quest during fieldwork to search out an alpine sorrel population in the Lewis Hills on the west coast of Newfoundland! One of the coolest and most beautiful overnight trips I’ve ever done.

Evidence That Metapopulation Dynamics Maintain a Species' Range Limit https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40326375/

So excited that one of my MSc chapters is out now! We used a large-scale, multi-year survey to empirically test the metapopulation hypothesis for range limits: doi.org/10.1111/ele.... (1/9)

Yesterday, I presented a poster at MUN’s Biology Symposium, where I chatted about our approach to understanding density-dependent fitness towards elevational range limits. I had a ton of fun, many valuable chats about field methods, and am grateful to have been awarded best poster presentation!

I'd like to encourage folks to publish their code. Not only does it make studies more transparent and reproducible, but it also increases citation rates! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Spent a couple days this week scouting out potential field sites at Gros Morne National Park. The snow was magical!

There is still space left in the #biodiversity #redistribution starter pack ⬇️ If you are working on or interested in biodiversity responses, aka #species #range #shifts & #community #composition #changes, to global change drivers, I'd be happy to add you in the list 😀 go.bsky.app/6KqEpb9

I created this stater pack with women in ecology and evolution. If you want to be added you can comment or DM me, but also please suggest the names of those I am missing 🧪🌎🌐 go.bsky.app/8jFH7cS

🥁 Ecologist working in mountains: We still have spots in the Mountain Ecology Starter Pack for Scientists working on various aspects of Mountain Ecology ⛰️ 🏞️🌄 👇. Let me know if you would like to be included. 🌎 🧪 🌐 go.bsky.app/V5Ydank

Created a starter package for #SeedEcology researchers, if anyone here working on seed ecology are suggested to join. go.bsky.app/EuwwU7q

First post: hi👋 I’m a PhD student in the Angert Lab at UBC who’s interested in plant ecology, species ranges, & demography. I’m t-minus 3 weeks away from submitting my thesis for examination so this seemed like a great time to procrastinate that beast of a task & sign up for a new social media site

I don’t have any big updates, so I’m gonna shamelessly plug my most recent project with @usuitakuji.bsky.social. We used duckweed to investigate how stressful temperatures mediate competitive ability/resource demands. Check it out: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

ACAG*’s 2024 conference has kicked off, and the first #NorthernEDGELab @munlgeog.bsky.social talk was from MSc candidate Pierrette James-Bourque. Great science, baby trees, and memes - what else could one ask for? *Atlantic Division of the Canadian Association of Geographers

Had so much fun today representing @munlgeog.bsky.social at the virtual ACAG conference! I discussed some preliminary results from a project with @carissabrown.bsky.social, where we’ve found unusual post-fire black spruce recruitment patterns at the south coast of Labrador 🌱

The Early Career Ecologists starter pack is officially completed! Please have a look and give a follow to each and every one of these amazing individuals And, to anyone who is still interested in joining, perhaps we can do part 2 in a bit? go.bsky.app/Di74bDy

Here's a Mast Seeding Starter Pack. I'm sure I've missed some folks, so let me know if you study masting and want to be added. 🌳 🌲 go.bsky.app/PbBBbuW

Aloe there 👋🏽 Here is a starter pack with Black researchers, practitioners & orgs working with plants in the broadest sense (botany, forestry, plant ecology, crop science, herbaria, botanic gardens) Hoping this will help set seed for a nurturing community! Reply 🔽 to be added go.bsky.app/7Gn2NCb

Starter Packs are great, but they favor well established individuals (understandably so). To help prop up new voices, here is a set of early career ecologists (self defined) who are, or would like to become, active on BlueSky Please reply if you would like to be included! go.bsky.app/Di74bDy

Here's a starter pack for ecological niche modeling, species distribution modeling, and general ecological biogeography. Please reply here to be added! go.bsky.app/AjbQxpK

See a raptor, share a raptor! This #baldeagle was feeding atop the grounded shipwreck in Harbor Grace, #NewfoundlandandLabrador 🦅🇨🇦 #ecology #birds

Hi everyone! To introduce myself on BlueSky after moving over from the bad place: my name is Graydon (he/him), I’m a grad student currently in Newfoundland, and I’m interested in plant ecology, species’ distributions, and range limits. I’d love to connect with other #ecoevo folks on here!
