🌎🌐🍁It’s been a pleasure to work with @pablolopezbust.bsky.social @nybg.bsky.social! The data on dry tropical forest seed traits that he assembled @hulshof.bsky.social lab @ VCU with the help of our undergrads @sunyesf.bsky.social is invaluable. What a great experience for the students too!

What a great experience! With Martin’s support @dovciak-lab.bsky.social and a wonderful collaboration, we measured seed masses for around 9,000 seeds and over 1,000 tropical dry forest species at the NYBG herbarium @nybg.bsky.social. Thanks so much, Martin! 🌿🔬"

Thanks so much! It's been such an amazing experience working under the guidance of Dr. Hulshof @hulshof.bsky.social. Her support has been incredible in helping me to pull these project ideas off and become a scientist. #BiodiversityResearchLab #SeedEcology #LatinxInStem #TropicalForest 🌎🌿🌵

🌎🌐🍁Exciting experiment completed! 🌱 Our lab helped MS student Daniel Wehner wrap up a greenhouse study on how arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculum from understory plants may aid sugar maple seedling establishment in high-elevation ectomycorrhizal forests under climate warming. Stay tuned for results!

Nearly 50% of Earth's land cover and upwards of 70% of Biodiversity Hotspots are extreme environments. Yet many ecological theories fail in these habitats. Here, we explain why and showcase what extreme environments can tell us in a world of new extremes. #Fulbright dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...

🌐🌎 Conspecific adult trees interact w/microsites to affect forest regeneration across climate-sensitive temperate-to-boreal forest biome transitions as shown by @nathankiel.bsky.social in an insightful analysis of our extensive forest demography data @sunyesf.bsky.social. Link in comments.

Looking for some interesting ecological data sets for some class projects. Want to go past the typical sets and expand some options. Ideally not large but not tiny, no time series, and include at least three factors. Let me know if you got any leads!

Trump cares most about the markets. The best strategy is to opt out. We’re asking you to join a monthlong national economic strike targeting tech and AI companies. www.resistandunsubscribe.com

A bit ago there was a paper or thread making the rounds arguing against Bonferroni correction when looking at many correlations. Anyone remember source?

Where does everyone send their tropical plant samples for species identification using DNA barcoding? Guelph?🙏 Leaves are preferable, but if the leaves are too high for pole pruner, what then? Cambium? Thanks for any leads.

Please pass along, I’m recruiting PhD students to join our Macroecology Lab @uofa-eeb.bsky.social We study phys ecology, macroecology, biodiversity - spanning scaling, trait-based ecology, theory, comparative biology & ecoinformatics. Several avenues for funding. Please reach out if interested🧪🌐🌾

Excited to launch Big Red Pen, grant review services, because NSF funding is only getting tougher, but strong proposals still rise to the top. I have decades of NSF success and 10 years of panel experience. Let’s get funded. #NSF from #GRFP to #CAREER. biodiversityresearchlab.com/grant-review

🥁New paper on microclimate vulnerability under changing climate 🌦️ & forest structure 🌳. Forest structure can buffer or amplify climate warming! Congrats to Joanna Lumbsden-Pinto @sunyesf.bsky.social, @brookhavenlab.bsky.social, @sunyofficial.bsky.social. 🌐🌍 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sandra is visiting Oxford @ox.ac.uk as a Visiting Fellow at @oxfordgeography.bsky.social @naturerecovery.bsky.social and @oxmartinschool.bsky.social We look forward to many more engagements and discussions! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPKy...

We are studying adult trees, saplings, and seedling composition in tropical dry forests, rainforests and the dry-wet ecotone in ACG Costa Rica to understand the future of these hyper diverse forests. #CostaRica @gdfcf.bsky.social

Perla proudly presents her work showing tropical dry forest and rainforest species have similar drought and thermal tolerances when coexisting in the ecotone. #ATBC2025 Great job Perla 🎉.

Really excited about this new collaboration with the group of a great colleague @hulshof.bsky.social. What a nice opportunity for the interns @sunyesf.bsky.social to learn about the @nybg.bsky.social herbarium collections, dry tropical forests 🌳 🌴, & seed 🫘 traits!

Very excited about this! Huge thanks to @DovciakLab for supporting our initiative and helping make it real. #VCU #seedtraits #seedispersal #tropicaldryforests #BiodiversityResearchLab

There are genuine reasons to be cautious about writing with LLMs ("AI"). But as much fun as it might be to type "the plagiarism machine that's burning down the planet" - it just isn't. Before long it will require willful disbelief to think it is. scientistseessquirre... 1/2

Happy Earth Day! - While we measure economies by the flows of funds and transactions, we overlook the flows of carbon, nutrients, and water that sustain life and occur all around us - flows all shaped and directed by biodiversity. Earth Day is a reminder to recalibrate on what actually counts 🌐🧪🌾
