New shark-on-shark competition research in our #OpenAccess journal Ecosphere!👇

As researchers, we often frame human-nature relationships as positive, but we have overlooked the opposite: biophobia. In our systematic review, we outline the phenomenon of growing numbers of people feeling fear, aversion or disgust toward nature: doi.org/10.1002/fee....

New systematic review from @johankjensen.bsky.social and collegues* on the growing trend of "neophobia". Sounds like a great read! -- *Anna S. Persson, Masashi Soga

Submitting to Ecological Applications? Éva Plagányi ensures the review process is "robust and fair, especially for complex submissions that span ecology, statistics, and economics." Read the interview: https://ow.ly/fy0H50XKzNG ESA Journals #Ecology

What sets Ecological Applications apart? "The journal’s emphasis on bridging theory with management application is a unique space that other functional ecology journals just don't fill." Jennifer L. Funk on why you should publish with us. 🔗https://ow.ly/V4hN50XKyTq ESA Journals #Ecology

Thanks for this contribution to "Ecosphere"!

I love our ESA journal Ecology's Scientific Naturalist papers! Check out deep sea squid covered in mud with tentacles masquerading as sessile invertebrates (?!!) ... so many discoveries still out there for ecology!! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @esajournals.bsky.social

"These integrated approaches are essential for climate-resilient, adaptive management." Éva Plagányi shares her excitement for coupling social and ecological models in Ecological Applications to understand human behavior. ➡️ Read the interview: https://ow.ly/3gQ450XKlZ5 ESA Journals #Ecology

How do you ensure generalizability in Ecological Applications? Jennifer L. Funk says explaining why something works allows others "to transfer the findings" across different taxa and systems. Read the interview: https://ow.ly/B0Nr50XGZNk ESA Journals #Ecology

Squee! Is this not the cutest journal cover ever?! Congrats to M. Delheimer for his photo, & excited for this new research publication alongside @mellenmartin.bsky.social & others. In @esajournals.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...

So excited to have played a part in this research alongside @mellenmartin.bsky.social & others. Martens are near & dear to our fuzzy Wildlife Detection Dog hearts, & they were thrilled to detect samples for this study. 🦦💩 @esajournals.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...

And another article featured thanks to Matt Delheimer’s photography of female marten F20 in Lassen NF, California 💗. Huge shoutout to @roguedogs.bsky.social, Matt, and the Levi and Moriarty research programs for collaborative peek into the diets of martens in the PNW and across North America

The December cover of "Ecological Applications" is feeling the burn! This prescribed fire in a Sierra Nevada forest shows the immediate carbon cost of wildfire mitigation—but new research reveals that treatments like this one also have long-term benefits Find the full issue: tinyurl.com/ms6z58f2

The December cover of "Ecology" is here, with a vibrant autumn forest near the China-Russia border—the site of a recent study using drone imagery to reveal how tropical cyclones reshape these forests, toppling towering trees & simplifying the canopy Browse the issue: tinyurl.com/yhmnr6my

How do temperature and resources interact to shape both population and community growth rates? We have a model that makes predictions at both levels! And we test them with experimental data from the lab & field. This one has been gestating for years and we're rather proud of it. Give it a read.

Happy to see our analysis on scaling up temperature x nutrient interactions from populations to communities published in Ecological Monographs @esajournals.bsky.social! 📈
