So much fun to work with @birdfiddler.bsky.social again, especially on such a neat project!

Mountain treelines have moved upward 20.2 m on average since the 1980s; this upward shift is more pronounced in the tropics than in temperate regions: bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/...

I'm so relieved to see that the science writing community has come out in force to support @thexylom.com in its hour of need. I'm proud to be part of a community that values the vital work that @alexip718.com & colleagues are doing. Nonprofit public service journalism is HARD & so very necessary.

Time to adopt SI Units like the rest of the world!

Keep up the terrible work, Bobby! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/h...

Check out this article by Kim Beil on recent work from Town Peterson, Anahí Quezada, Jeff Munroe, and I. We use the power of photography to track mountain treeline movement due to climate change: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/t...

I had the actual best time today hanging out with the Boyle lab and meeting K-State ornithology students!

Are you a PhD student whose funding is in jeopardy because of recent executive actions, or a faculty member in a program dealing with these considerations? @mkhaw.bsky.social and I want to hear from you @chronicle.com. DM or email! #AcademicSky #PhDSky #HigherEd

Grad student funding - Apply for the ASN Student Research Awards. $2k each for research that advances the conceptual unification of ecology, evolution, or behavior. Applications due March 14 www.amnat.org/announcement...

Has anyone taught or taken a good evolutionary ecology class? Any textbook recommendations are welcome!

“There have been alarming declines this year in some insect species including bees, butterflies, moths and wasps, while many #seabirds have also been “hammered” by unstable weather patterns caused by the climate emergency, the National Trust has said.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The porphyrins in Northern Saw-whet Owl feathers glow under UV light. They degrade over time, so older feathers glow less intensely than new feathers. This bird has a clear molt limit between old juvenile feathers and new basic feathers, meaning she was born last summer!

#ComSciCon24 day one! @jocori.bsky.social

It was so cool spontaneously getting to help the Red-tailed hawk project for an afternoon of trapping 🤩

It’s always a pleasure to get to ramble about birds. I had so much fun participating in the Collections up Close series for the KU Natural History Museum with @anoplogaster.bsky.social and Kevin Mulcahey!

New publication with Alice Boyle and @inkliizii.bsky.social is out! This work is the first project I have completed as a scientist, and I am so excited to share! We found experimental support for the idea that nest orientation is, in part, a regulatory mechanism for nest microclimate. 🧵(1/5)
