PhD position available: Predicting impacts of extreme heat on Australian forests The world is heating up and forests are starting to show the effects. Like maths? Love trees? Apply your skills to help understand and adapt vegetation to heat extremes! www.westernsydney.edu.au/schools/grs/...

New paper by Hernández et al @newphyt.bsky.social using years of heat tolerance surveys of zingiberales in Costa Rica. *Interannual T50 variation wasn't related to temperature. *spp w high T50 had smaller internannual variation in T50. A trade-off? nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Why do some plants open their stomata at high temperatures? Our new paper shows that this behaviour is optimal, and a crucial thermoregulation strategy. 🍃 However, this only emerges when the leaf energy balance is fully integrated in the optimisation. This is missing from global models at present!

If you sign a publishing agreement with Wiley, you agree that your work can be used for AI models. Other publishers probably do the same. As a federal employee, I can't sign that, so our ms is stuck. Publishers won't buckle for a few of us, so can't I publish anymore? What do universities say?

New paper by PhD student Priscila Lopez. By manipulating transpiration rate and plant-available silicon, we show that the early vascular plant, the spikemoss Selaginella, uses active silicon uptake when passive transport falls short of plant silicon needs. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New publication in @biotropica.bsky.social with former lab members @juan-camilo-mejia.bsky.social and Roxana: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... We found that net photosynthesis and Vcmax were lower at midday than in the morning, but no evidence of significant changes in leaf heat tolerance

New publication on stomatal decoupling led by Zhaoguo Wang. I first noticed decoupling in temperature response curves in 2016 (tinyurl.com/k6dnhn94) and have been intrigued since. This study focuses on decoupling under experimental warming, showing interesting patterns www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's odd to be furloughed while my whole lab can remain active (because they're not federal/on Panamanian payroll/fellowships). At least they're having fun by moving me to "former members" on our lab's bulletin board...

It finally happened: I was invited to review a manuscript from my own lab, a 3-author paper with me as senior author...

We welcome back Ibrahim Salman, who will start his postdoctoral fellowship in the Forest Biology lab today! striresearch.si.edu/forest-biolo...

Great seminar by lab visitor and incoming postdoc Ibrahim Salman on the effects of environmental stress on plant-pollinator interactions!

Harvard today, your institution tomorrow. It's all part of the Project 2025 plan to destroy high education in America. All leading US universities depend on federal funding and tuition dollars from international students. They severely curtailed the former. Now they're eliminating the latter.

I have two open postdoc positions in my lab that include opportunities to collaborate with @alecaborsuk.bsky.social and researchers at the Salk Harnessing Plants Initiative. If you’re interesting root system architecture or photosynthesis modeling see below: campuspress.yale.edu/brodersenlab...

I made tiramisu in food containers to look like the leaf-warming boxes we're using in an experiment we've almost finished setting up. Lots of work, but worth it! (Both the experiment and the tiramisu)

Ok, bear with the shaky-cam (it is my signature special effect as an overenthusiast), but would you take a look at this blessed date palm? Rosy-faced lovebirds, common pigeons, and gila woodpeckers (I think?) all nesting in the same date palm tree crown. Phoenix, AZ.

They are dismantling our entire research apparatus, piece by piece. Make sure everybody knows what they are doing. Call your reps whatever color your district is and demand more action.

Another aspect of being in the Netherlands: I just received my first ever traffic fine for driving 4 kilometer per hour too fast on my way to the hospital. €45,-
