PhD opportunity available at @westsyduhie.bsky.social with the brillant Dr Laura Williams - hyperspectral data and process-based modelling of tree diversity 🌳🌲 please share with your networks tinyurl.com/ms6mjz8y

🚨 New R package! 🚨 balancR provides tools for data balancing + robust scaling analysis, based on our recent Global Ecology & Biogeography paper: doi.org/10.1111/geb.... Co-developed with my PhD advisor @seanmichaletz.bsky.social Check it out 👉 michaletzlab.github.io/balancR/

Submit an abstract to our #AGU2025 session "Heat and Microclimate Impacts on Plant Functioning: From Molecules to the Biosphere" (agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pr...) @nicolebison.bsky.social @luiza-aparecido.bsky.social @bposch.bsky.social @agu.org @agubiogeosciences.bsky.social @gec-agu.bsky.social

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat. In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. scim.ag/44cSw3Z

New Article: "Leaf venation network evolution across clades and scales" rdcu.be/epLNP Evolution of leaf venation networks, from fewer, corrugated veins to high vein density and smoother loops. Herbivory as a potential driver of venation architectural changes.

My first PhD paper is now published in #STOTEN! We used a long-term fire experiment and ecosystem monitoring protocol to quantify the effect of burning on the productivity, respiration and ecosystem #carbon balance of Cerrado #savanna (1/6) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than publishing about GREENish Warblers! (and/ or reading about them)

Fully funded PhD in Plant Ecophysiology at UBC in Vancouver 🍁! Possible topics include leaf physiology, thermal ecology, microclimates, scaling, tree physiology, forest ecology & more. Start Jan/May/Sept 2026. michaletzlab.org Please share! #PlantEcoPhys #Ecology #Botany #PhDposition #GradSchool

Still reeling from the wonderful experience of #ESAus24. No better way to recover than with science friends over tea and cards on the Great Ocean Road 🚗🌊

That's a wrap on ESA2024! We're so beyond grateful for everyone who attended and presented at our biggest conference ~ever~ 🎉 We'll see you in Adelaide next year (Nov 23-28) for ESA2025! *The echidna is not a paid actor #ESAus2024 #ecology #WildOz

A great part of being a Plant Functional Trait alumna is meeting up with the #PFTC community around the world. This time, #ESAus2024 in Melbourne with @sonyageange.bsky.social, @nicolebison.bsky.social, @joshleecology.bsky.social, @seanmichaletz.bsky.social, and Sam Beale.

Some dazzling #EcologicalFashion from day 1 of #ESAus2024 🌼🦜

How do tropical rainforest trees respond to warming? 🌡️🌿We experimentally warmed canopy leaves by 4°C for 8 months and found significant declines in photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, with no shift in Topt. Read the new paper, led by Kristine Crous here: shorturl.at/AVTOk
