A thoughtful commentary by Samuel Scheiner on our most recent work on Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum. It helps connect our results on the drivers of invasion success to broader questions about community assembly. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Invasive plants did not behave the same way everywhere. Across the continental U.S., harsh climates favored species more like natives, while mild climates favored more distinct plants, often flowering earlier. doi.org/hb5324

Climate determines the plant characteristics that favor naturalization. In cold or dry regions, successful newcomers must be similar to native plants to survive. In hot and humid regions, distinctiveness makes new plants more competitive. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/KFgV50YZz28

Thrilled to share our new paper just published on @pnas.org! Using distribution and phenology models for 2,810 species across the US, we find that climate mediates whether invasive plants tend to resemble or differ from natives www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... link.growkudos.com/1dzfnmv5xj4 🌍

Shifts in Phenology and Species Ranges Synergistically Alter the Timing and Species Composition of the Flowering Season 🔗 buff.ly/ReNSH54

New paper out! Using ~3 million observations across 2,837 species, we studied how shifts in species ranges and flowering phenology jointly impact the timing, species diversity, and network structure of the flowering season across US communities. doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... 🌎

Excited to see the 2nd chapter of my dissertation out on Nature Ecology & Evolution! My co-authors and I evaluated the contributions of plasticity vs. adaptation as drivers of temperature-related variation in flowering phenology in North America 🌎 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@ethanfreedman.bsky.social Can I be added as a contributor? Thank you!

Our new paper in Methods Ecol Evol announces marineomics.io, a website sharing tools for rigorous, reproducible genomics in non-model & marine species We outline the site's resources, how they're made, and how you can contribute! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Born in 1897, Janaki Ammal was a trailblazing botanist in plant breeding, genetics & cytogenetics. She overcame gender & caste discrimination & was the first Indian woman to obtain a PhD in botany in the U.S. Ammal promoted conservation & was a pioneer of indigenous environmental approaches.

New preprint led by @ajyancy.bsky.social (it's her first paper!!) with @jmheberling.bsky.social, Howie Neufeld, Sara Kuebbing and Michelle Spicer. If you've seen a presentation of mine in the past year, it was probably about this work on spring ephemeral phenological strategy! 🌱🌎

It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows. (1/n)

It's fun to get to share our new study in Science tracking nearly 4,000 Galápagos finches using genomics over 30 years! Interested in how genomics can teach us about contemporary evolution? 1/ www.science.org/doi/full/10....
