Disturbance interactions have profound consequences for forest health, yet remain poorly understood. Here we use DAGs to differentiate #Synergisms, #CompoundDisturbances & #NetworkEffects and review the impacts of climate change. Final version out now! 🧪🌐🍁🌱 www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Of all the fieldwork I’ve done, my fire work has stayed with me the most.

How does life evolve to adapt to modern cities? Out now in Science, my PhD work with @lindymcbr.bsky.social uncovers the ancient origin of the “London Underground mosquito” – one of the most iconic examples of urban adaptation. 🧵(1/n) @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ady4515

Does more H20 mean more mosquito-borne disease risk? What about in an area that typically receives little rain? (~6 in/year)? royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Also out this month in P&V: another topic close to my 💛 - tick phenology! (tinyurl.com/yc2skb4r)

I 💛 teaching & long-term ecological field stations. I have a new piece in @natural-history.bsky.social’s Lessons in Conservation that intertwines my teaching lessons from biometry & passion for long-term research sites (tinyurl.com/2kw8avtz)

I submitted this piece a while ago but thought I’d throw it up on rxiv prior to my defense next month. If you want to hear more about the study - DM me for a zoom link to my exit seminar!

Bats are often thought of as ecosystem providers, but to actually quantify the services bats provide, it’s essential to know where they’re foraging
