Excellent new paper out this week led by former postdoc (now NC State Assistant Professor) @aceraceae.bsky.social. "Local adaptation of both plant and pathogen: an arms-race compromise in switchgrass rust." nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Interesting response to the Ahmed et al paper: academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

First lectures and tasting of traditional foods for our study abroad program UF in Croatia: Food and Global Change

Probably the most extreme growing situation for Erigeron annuus that I’ve seen. There can’t be anything resembling soil up there. Good motivation to continue our work on #urbanevolution of #invaders

Back in Croatia for another round of our study abroad program about food and global change plus research on #urbanevolution. Found some beautiful new roads thanks to a chance meeting with a new friend Vanja.

Congrats to PhD student Yukti Taneja for winning the 2025 Nadeau Graduate Research Award!! The funding will be used to advance her work on multiple biotic interactions and plant invasions.

Our local brewery First Magnitude knows what’s up! Huge supporters of conservation.

My god this is horrifying. 💔

We're hiring an assistant prof in global change ecology! Apply!!! We're vibrant, supportive, and interdisciplinary EEB community! Plz note the weird dates: We're reviewing applications beginning on ✨August 15th✨. I'm part of the SC and happy to answer questions! apply.interfolio.com/164677

Job opportunity! Excited to share that we have an opening for a research technician position to help with our research on phenological shifts & species interactions in amphibian communities. (please help spread the word!) More details here: emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

🌸Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic 🌸 Our new study @nature.com analysed plant diversity change in >2000 tundra plots over 4 decades. We found that plants changed unevenly, mostly driven by warming and biotic interactions. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵 (1/7) 🌐🧪🌱🌍

Really excited to share this new article from the lab. We synthesize the profound importance of movement and connectivity for conservation and provide a vision for future policy and management. Let's work toward a well-connected planet for biodiversity and people: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Wow. Check this out! “…science no longer an obstacle to the justiciability of climate liability claims.” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Spring primary growth in N. Florida. These 'candles' are expanding embryonic needles formed last fall in overwintered in buds. In this species (longleaf pine), there is generally only one growth cycle. Other southern pines may undergo multiple cycles in a year.

Finished setting up a big new field experiment in Kentucky testing the effects of plant invasion, resources, and microbiome on disease transmission to hemp. #EEID

Great to see our new review on the causes and consequences of tropical insect declines out in Nature Reviews Biodiversity. 🪰🪲🐜🐛🐝🦋 It was a pleasure working with an international team of amazing tropical entomologists! 🧑‍🔬 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Postdoc Seokmin Kim is tackling data analysis on our longer-term experiment where we’ve manipulated invasion x drought x fire over nearly a decade. 27 sampling points over time for 40 plots and 12 subplots, and evaluating all native and non-native species turns out to be a lot of data!

Why aren't more researchers publishing in society journals? Two potential reasons: 1) They're often unfamiliar to early-career researchers, and/or 2) they need better promotion, a task for all of us.

This is so evil.
