How well can we classify grasses at *sub-meter* resolution?? Read work led by former student Ryan Slapikas here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Upset about federal funding cuts in the US? Want some ideas of what to do? I wrote a long-ish blog post about it here ecoevoevoeco.blogspot.com summarizing things I learned meeting with Senate & House aides this week with the @aibsbiology.bsky.social Congressional Visits Day event.

How does #hyperspectral leaf reflectance vary with functional traits, site, and evolutionary lineage in #grasses? New paper, part of a special issue "Advancing Spectral Biology to Understand Plant Diversity Across Scales", check it out: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I needed that! #StandUpForScience

DOGE is slashing federal science jobs—harming public lands, research, & safety. See this thread for agency budgets & workforce details, then download state-specific info cards linked below. Call Congress & fight for science! #FundScience #SaveOurAgencies

This Friday! Stand Up for Science on campus! www.standup4scienceberkeley.com

Thermal infrared remote sensing, both from space and near Earth’s surface, is unlocking new ways to study ecosystems, from individual leaves to entire landscapes, write @mostafaj.bsky.social, @stephpau.bsky.social, and colleagues. eos.org/science-upda...

Mom went to school in Tomales with these ranchers. So sad end. Not sure what the right answer is. Experts tell me these lands need grazing A Point Reyes era to end as ranchers prepare to pack up, leave www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/nati...

really excited to share this new paper led by postdoc shannon bayliss showing species differences account for 17-44% of temperature variation across a tropical forest canopy rdcu.be/d6HPt
