Afforestation‐Related Fertilisation Quickly Turns Barren Cutaway Peatland Into a Carbon Dioxide Sink 🔗 buff.ly/2lWa0eT

I'm looking for postdoc positions in freshwater biogeochemistry! Interested in any projects investigating nutrient and carbon cycling, phytoplankton coupling with dissolved organic matter cycling in human-altered landscapes, or hydrology and spatial modeling!

“Once they get a foothold, it's really tough to get rid of them.” Katie O’Reilly @drkatfish.bsky.social‬ is sounding the alarm and showing how prevention starts with awareness. 🎣 Explore the full #TomorrowsCatch series: contentwithpurpose.co.uk/afs/tomorrow...

Who said flying is limited to the sky? This footage shows the largest known migration of mobula rays, captured in the waters of Baja California Sur. Filmed by freediver and photographer Aidan Bedford. A quiet reminder that art often begins with attention. #NatureAsArt #VisualWonder #Observation

Jeremy Fox's new book, 'The Ecology of Ecologists', is now shipping. I've read it (and I blurbed it) - it's a thought-provoking treatment of how the field of ecology works as a science. You want to read it! dynamicecology.wordp... 🧪🌎

Delighted to publish Forum Article by @nicolasgaltier.bsky.social et al: "Journals run by learned societies or universities have more ethical policies while being cheaper and similarly cited" doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... Thank you for choosing JEB - we encourage the support of #societyjournals

Riparian buffers help more than just streams and rivers in agricultural landscapes. Lab Masters student Olivia Reves used environmental DNA (eDNA) to quantify the benefit of riparian buffers to terrestrial wildlife in downstate Illinois; open access at doi.org/10.1111/1365...

This team are searching for new "Asgard archaea" to sequence. Let's talk about why these bacteria-like organisms are so fascinating, why they're named for Norse mythology, and why looking at them is unlocking a better understanding of our own genomes. Once considered a type of oddball bacteria🦠...

For @nautil.us, @okaysteve.bsky.social spoke with Kevin Berger about his new book, How to Change a Memory. Read the full interview here:

I'm looking to switch out the Winogradsky column lab I've been doing in my Wetlands course for something new (I never get visible diffs among treatments and I don't think students are getting much from it). What are your favorite labs for an upper level Wetlands course? Bonus if biogeochemistryish!

I normally am a cheerful optimist, but I am just at a loss about what to even say to young scientists right now. Devastating overview of the cuts: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Parasites? pah!.... Here the bunnies have proper enemies, from the Wild Wood - stoats, weasels & crows. And decent parents - kind, rural country folks, who look out for their kits and who do their best by them.

Check out our new paper, led by @abagaelpruitt.bsky.social, quantifying whole stream/river denitrification rates in an ag river and its tributary across seasons. Abagael did a great job leading this work and its a really great application of the open-channel N2 method! dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Are you interested in an MS position in Stream Ecology? My lab (www.benjamintumolo.com) is recruiting a Master's student to join us at Northern Michigan University. 🐛🧪🕸️🍂🌊 Please get in contact if you are interested, and pass on this ad to anyone you know that might be! Apply by Dec 16

This should be in the 'must read list' for 1st year grad students. Loved the quotes, spirit, and important message. I do worry that science is necessary but not sufficient against the current challenges though.

In our latest paper in PNAS, we ask: How can scientific progress be accelerated to meet the urgent challenges of the Anthropocene? We point to significant barriers in forecasting & prediction efforts for the biosphere 🧵👇 🧪🌎🦋 1/n www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #ScienceTwitter #Ecology #Anthropocene

Excited to share our new paper out today in Science led by Patrizia Ziveri and the BIOCAL Working Group! With @willerstorfi.bsky.social, @nanophyto.bsky.social, @tdegaridel.bsky.social and many colleagues! @climatecerege.bsky.social @icta-uab.bsky.social 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq8520

Our peer review system for scientific publishing -we pay to publish our MSs -pay to read other’s MSs -and donate our time to review MSs is bad enough without passive aggressive review reminders, touting the “quality” journal’s rapid turnaround time and asking why you are setting back science.

Research by my former PhD student, Daniel Gschwentner, on how grassland wildfires impact lakes is now live in Ecosystems: doi.org/10.1007/s100... Wildfires are contributing to P loading in lakes, but lakes are N-limited so that P is likely not being processed by algae. DM if you need access.

I went on my first bull trout redd survey of the year today. Saw some absolutely incredible fish! One of the biggest specimens I've ever seen, and it was close enough to touch (I was invisibly filming from the other side of a root wad). 🐟

It's true: Academic publishing has become a racket. But I think the idea that #peerreview can happen haphazardly in the comments of a preprint server is naive. 1/ 🧪 #AcademicSky #SciPub

Coyote whiskers grow gradually over several months, so we cut each whisker into small segments. Each segment gave us a isotopic “snapshot” of diet from a different point in time, letting us measure how consistent (or variable) an individual’s diet was ✂️🐾

is there any evidence for previous success of a credit/market system on environmental issues?

new paper from my lab @cudenverclas.bsky.social in @natclimate.nature.com, led by @sarahnalley.bsky.social! Dragonflies with dark mating ornaments on their wings are disappearing from parts of the United States that have had more warming and wildfire over the last 40 years 🧪🌍🐙 rdcu.be/eFm7e

The discourse around LLMs for writing is really interesting - in part, I think, because much of it makes a very large assumption about *how* writers will use LLMs. I think unpacking that is useful (including two different variants of the assumption), so I tried:

"Mirror organisms" are novel biological entities (like GMOs, synthetic cells, novel hybrids) whose release & potential spread are akin to biological invasions, in my opinion. www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

Following the same argument, I guess we could see coal companies stating that they are helping to fight climate change because they feed the fuel that provides the electricity that powers the AI that, in the end, solves climate change. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
