We have a new paper developing methods for looking at bird-fire macroecology. What’s most fascinating to me is that the magnitude *and* direction of fire effects can vary enormously across a species range. Stationarity is dead!! Long live non-stationarity!! doi.org/10.1002/fee....

Sockman reports over 20 years of monitoring in remote Colorado mountain meadows. He found that flying insects declined over a cumulative 72%. Decline was associated with each previous year's heat and a 0.8 degree C (daily low) temperature rise per decade. 🧪 🌍 🐝 Open access: doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

A lovely visit to Baltimore @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social meeting last week. So many great talks! Also great to see many colleagues+meeting new ones. A splendid day in the woods @ #SERC w/great info on #NEON. Our lab had 4 presentations & we are now ready for a new semester @sunyesf.bsky.social

The #TurnerLab was well represented at #ESA2025 and we appreciated the energy, enthusiasm and awesomely good science! Thanks for a great meeting @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social

My first @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social meeting was fantastic! New and old friends and colleagues, great science and a lot of fun! I co-led a workshop on publishing for ECRs, presented a talk on my lab’s latest work and received the editorial fellowship💜. Thanks ESA!

Finished #ESA2025 with a great visit to the National Aquarium! Fantastic to see how nature keeps inspiring curiosity and filing with joy the future generation! Thanks for the discount @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social !!

I had such a wonderful time attending and presenting at the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social meeting in Baltimore this past week. The idea that this is my last meeting as a grad student was bitter sweet, but I am so grateful for the opportunity.

Thank you for a great meeting, #ESA2025 attendees! We hope to see you at #ESA2026 next year in Salt Lake City, July 26-31.

🙌🏽 Shoutout to all the ecology-minded INSTAARs who contributed to science presented at the ESA2025 meeting @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social this week, especially our speakers: Sam Ahler, Hunter Geist-Sanchez, @hennhouse.bsky.social, @advyth.bsky.social, Etienne Rouby, Sarah Elizabeth Stockman, et al
