1/Our lab has two new papers out! Both highlight how nuanced the responses of many species are to climate change. The first was led by super undergrad Eden Smith: link.springer.com/article/10.1... The second by awesome PhD student @feipenghuang.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/beheco/artic...

Woohoo go @katie-is-alive.bsky.social !! 🎉🎉🎉

new perspective piece about the role of reproduction in arthropod extinctions! with PhD student @sarahnalley.bsky.social and @noahleith.bsky.social 🧪🌍🐙 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @cudenverclas.bsky.social

A friendly word of advice. I review a lot of papers and I do not speak acronym. Please do not make up any more that will be used only in your paper.

Happy to share new paper in EcologyLetters We show that aggressive male morphs make populations unstable & less resilient to heat stress @neelamporwal.bsky.social @jacek-radwan.bsky.social @robknell.bsky.social @ecoevoenviro.bsky.social @evobiolab.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Toads can be odd creatures. Tonight I found a group of males singing from underneath an undercut stream bank. Like they had their own little cave-like nightclub.

Proud of this subtle paper from the lab. Went out to test for cryptic eco-evo dynamics in response to the urban heat island. Found evolution, ecological change, and local adaptation, but no feedbacks (and that woodlice have been common in NA at least 200 yrs? Read to learn more.

How much and in what ways do animals contribute to elemental cycling in freshwater ecosystems? Find out here in this work led by Jonathan Lopez & Taylor Michael!

New study led by Sean McHugh (@phyllurus.bsky.social) now out in @systbiol.bsky.social! Sean's approach models how species gain and lose biome affinities over time, both in terms of where they *do* live (e.g. movement) and where they *could* live (e.g. adaptation) doi.org/10.1093/sysb...

Post Doc position alert! Come work with us on the evolution of cannibalism. Full job description in link below. Salary starts at $58k plus benefits. (Please help spread the word) emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Jefferson's salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum) found under a log a few days ago. It was about 100 meters from a wetland where these salamanders breed. The breeding season wrapped up about a week ago, so it was probably in the process of moving away from the pond until the next season. Ohio.

Periodic reminder that we should avoid testing the Normality of the response variable. For a linear model, what matters is the Normality of residuals (and not that much). Visual checks better than test. #statistics

all right Marius! great job leading this v cool effort to test ideas about elevational migration at global scale

It’s been a cold, snowy winter here in Cleveland. In 2923 and 2024, we caught our first salamanders around February 10th. I am now wondering if we won’t see them until late March this year? What’s your guess?
