Happy 100th birthday Sir David Attenborough! So many of us have been inspired to become conservation scientists from watching your documentaries. Thank you for continuing to show us the wonder and beauty of the natural world, and inspiring millions to care about and protect it. 🌏️ 💙 💚

Research support needed! We are looking for ecological research on bioaccumulation and long-term environmental contamination from dioxins, PFAS, & heavy metals released by thermal waste treatment (incineration, gasification or pyrolysis of municipal, commercial, organic or industrial waste)

🌻🌼My study on pollination in the face of climate change is now out in @ecol-evol.bsky.social 🐝We found that range shifting plants lose their pollinators, but might compensate for the loss by self pollinating. 🔗paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #ClimateChange #RangeShifts

Just realised that @innaosmol.bsky.social somehow published TWO papers the same week 🤯https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.73429

🌿 New paper out! Leaf damage is not the Answer! Downhill-shifting species don't experience reduced herbivore pressure at the expanding edge. 📖 Open access in @ecol-evol.bsky.social 🔗 tinyurl.com/y8nywjzf #Ecology #Evolution #ClimateChange #RangeShifts

New year new paper! How strong is enemy release? A systematic compilation across taxa and approaches doi.org/10.1002/ecy.... We found that introduced plants and animals experience less enemy diversity and damage than native counterparts, but do not gain fitness benefits as a result.

It was such an honour to present my research at UTS! Thank you to @zoexiro.bsky.social and @ecologybrad.bsky.social for the invitation and to everyone who came to listen to my talk 🌿

Our #OpenAccess paper showing no trends in photoperiod sensitivity in germination 🌱 & flowering time 🌸 across a range of predictors out now in @ecol-evol.bsky.social Led by brilliant Honours student Ashika and my first 'senior author' paper 😀 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

It was lovely to get interviewed by @funfactscience.com and Benjamin! Highly recommend signing up to be a guest on their podcast 🎤

📖Published📖 Arnold et al. propose a design that will allow ecologists to simulate more realistic heat events in the field by combining a controllable convection heater system with a semi-enclosed chamber with adjustable vents 🌍 🧪 buff.ly/k2GJSA2

Counterintuitive Range Shifts May Be Explained by Climate Induced Changes in Biotic Interactions 🔗 buff.ly/4Uf5v3p @innaosmol @zoexiro @academic-gian @angelamoles

Check out our new paper exploring the incredible uses of @inaturalist.bsky.social data in biodiversity research!

🔥🌱 From the #AJB Special Issue: “Understanding novel #fire regimes using plant trait‐based approaches" 🌱🔥 Toward a macroevolutionary understanding of live-leaf flammability in plant species of fire-prone #forests By @ecologybrad.bsky.social, @zoexiro.bsky.social, et al. doi.org/10.1002/ajb2...

Many species are moving toward warmer areas rather than cooler ones, a shift linked to changing interactions with other species rather than temperature alone, highlighting new challenges for conservation. doi.org/g9smzq

Exciting new paper from @innaosmol.bsky.social and a great team - why are some climate change range shifts counterintuitive to predictions? Changes in biotic interactions!

🌎 My first paper is out in @globalchangebio.bsky.social ! We propose the Interaction Opportunists Hypothesis: changes in biotic interactions may drive species downhill, equatorward, or to shallower waters under #ClimateChange. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #RangeShifts #Ecology

This week's guest, plant ecologist @innaosmol.bsky.social explains how #ClimateChange is forcing tree lines both toward the poles and uphill, as they try to reach cooler temperatures. 🧪🔬🌲 open.spotify.com/episode/6tgt...

Hey y'all! I have a few ecology honours projects available in Sydney starting either in Spring 2025 or Autumn 2026. Project details available at: zoexiro.com/research/ Please share widely 🌼

Last night's Beginner's Guide to Street Art was awesome. Thanks to feedback, the 2nd will be even better! I'll be running it again 3/18, 8pm ET online. We'll cover everything you need to know when getting started with art in the public space. Miss the first one? No sweat, c'mere. lu.ma/42w54y8f

In part two of our #BiologyLetters #ECR Competition series, we speak with Ruby Stephens, the runner-up of the 2024 competition, about her research paper: Zygomorphic flowers last longer: The evolution of floral symmetry and floral longevity. ow.ly/tRWt50V2BrO @rubyecology.bsky.social

🌸🌞 #PlantReproductionWeek⏳ Species that require long-day conditions to flower are not advancing their flowering phenology as fast as species without photoperiod requirements by Karen Zeng et al. in @annbot.bsky.social #openaccess article 👉 doi.org/n5qk @angelamoles.bsky.social #PlantScience

Shoutout to the Sydney botanical garden because this is the 3rd time today I’ve heard about this flower blooming, from multiple social media platforms, and I live ~10,000 miles away.

Got to see Putricia the corpse flower IRL! It was love at first smell ❤️

Being in the field is one of my favourite things about ecology. But I have to admit, the lab also has its fair share of beauty and wonder🔬 #pollen #microscopy #pollengrains #plants
