My story about Gilles—and many other field stories from amazing women—will soon be in a book! Featuring the unforgettable (and slightly surreal) moment a muskox saved my data sheet. 🤩

What you see is the clear warm light of April. And it means that we can begin a whole new year together, Toad.

Good morning instead of enjoying clickbait let’s enjoy this click beetle

This past week, I had the pleasure of participating in the 4th Global Soil Biodiversity Conference 2026. What an amazing array of specialists and excellent presentations! Can’t wait to attend the next edition! Big thanks to @thegsbi.bsky.social and everyone involved! #GSB2026

Our group experienced a major permafrost slump just across the river from where we were paddling on a northern stretch of the Horton River (northern Canada) some years back. Frightening and dramatic indeed.

A lovely afternoon by Lancaster canal. The aquatic insects are emerging - alderflies (𝘚𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴) and caddisflies (𝘎𝘭𝘺𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘴, I think) #UKwildlife #freshwater

Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.

Why flower with the summer crowd when you can get a jump on the competition in spring? Being precocious comes with advantages and disadvantages. Learn more in today’s post! www.pei-untamed.com/post/red-map...

I came home from my choir concert (at almost 9 pm, yay light!) to find this little Sharp-shinned Hawk chasing the Redpolls. And once the SSHAs arrive, can the juncos be far behind? #migration #birds #Yukon

That’s a wrap on #GSB2026! 🎉 We cannot thank you all enough for coming out, providing fantastic presentations, making connections, and keeping soil biodiversity at the forefront of ecological research (in our completely unbiased opinion) 🪱 Safe travels home & see you all real soon!

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.

#Taxonomy friends, I'm searching for generic revisions that include treatments without a nomenclatural act - e.g. a species listed for completeness with only a diagnosis + remarks. Anyone have good examples? #bugsky

What frustrates me about conversations about the grand bargain of Pathways/CCS for a west coast pipeline is that they assume CCS projects will actually work at scale. AFAIK, there is no evidence that this is true. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Hey @stephenbheard.bsky.social - you might be interested in this!

Why do humans cause strange biological shifts without even trying? 🧐 I’m proud to share my first PhD paper! We explore the intersection of citizen science, taxonomy & anthropogenic disturbance in rare species. 🦀🧬 Just the start of a big year for crustacean research!

Hampshire College just announced our closure. I've only been here <2 years but absolutely love being here. I don't know if I am staying until the final closing in Dec 26 or this June 26. If you need a random wastewater/enviro engineer/bioinformatics person I am unexpectedly back on the job market!

!!! initially thought they were an oribatid beetle mite... then freaked out upon taking a few photos - realizing they were BAEUS - a *tiny* (~600µm) parasitic wasp! Lost them after trying to stop lens down for a bit more depth of field! Underneath a log, NE Oklahoma

Latest paper with @kbslter.bsky.social data 🙂

Lady beetles have declined in abundance by 39% since 1993 in experimental plots in Michigan. Rather than a steady decline, researchers found ups and downs with different rates of change and apparent drivers among species and across habitats. In PNAS Nexus: https://ow.ly/94Ur50YAFBG

Forests can reduce river discharge rates and therefore the risk of flooding, but also increase evapotranspiration and water scarcity. A new paper by El Garroussi et al. suggests strategies to balance these services. 🌲🌳🧪🌏
