We're recruiting!! Myself along with Nathan Gill, Dylan Schwilk @schwilk.org, and Katharine Suding are recruiting people for Master's, PhD, and postdoc positions in GrassFire, an NSF funded project examining fuels and fire risk in grassland ecosystems across the Southern Great Plains! 🔥🌿🐮

Looking for a #postdoct for a NSF project integrating ecosystem productivity, hyperspectral remote sensing and airborne LiDAR to test prominent hypothesis of the effect of #biodiversity on #forest #productivity @fluxnetecn.bsky.social @ngaps.bsky.social Apply at: jobs.colostate.edu/postings/165...

Biology, what are you doing? Follow the rules. www.science.org/content/arti...

Biodiversity doesn’t respond instantly to its driver, yet most assessments assume it does. 🚨 The paradigm shift we propose in considers multiple trajectories of long-term environmental changes and disturbance events that cumulate and push biodiversity into a quasi-permanent non-equilibrium state.

Very proud & glad to be part of this amazing work led by Étienne on the relevance of lagging dynamics in biotic responses to environmental conditions 🦉🦇🦔🦌🌱🌾🪻🍀🌳🌲 If you interested in modeling species ranges or biodiversity patters in space & time, our paradigm shift should be of interest to you 😉

Really excited to share our new paper on #causalinference & #climatechange attribution out in #EcologyLetters today! Are you asking "how much" or "if" climate change has impacted your system, then this paper is for you! 🧪🌏🌐🍁🌺🌱🌿 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Very excited this is out! Also potentially useful for researchers thinking about biodiversity change attribution @jon-chase03.bsky.social @bio-diverse.bsky.social @nmouquet.bsky.social @frbiodiv.bsky.social

Larry Richardson appeared to be an early-career mathematician with potential, racking up more than 130 citations in 4 years. It would all be rather remarkable—if the studies weren’t complete gibberish. And if Larry wasn’t a cat. #InternationalCatDay scim.ag/4lg3wTp

We should broaden models, not narrow them. Models are tools to explore uncertainty, communicate scenarios, and test policy. Managers seek robust strategies, not perfect forecasts. What a great paper from @cboettig.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #Forecasting #Ecology 🌐

Are you an early-career biologist or ecologist who would benefit from an invited seminar? Would you like to come to UMaine next fall or spring to give a talk? Leave a brief comment with some info about what you do. I'm co-hosting our seminar series again, and am filling out our rosters.

New paper out on the dangers of using patterns across spatial climate gradients to predict what will happen with changing climate. That includes species distribution modeling. Space-for-time substitution can be misleading in sign, not just the magnitude of effects. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
