I just wanted to say that my lab is awesome 🤩

Spread the word! My lab group is hosting a workshop tomorrow at #ESA2026: Ecological Theory for Everyone: A practical introduction to engaging with theory in your own research for those with little or no theoretical experience 1:30pm, Room 254B events.rdmobile.com/Sessions/Det...

So proud of the hard work of the @esalatamcarib.bsky.social chapter who was recognized for not 1 but FOUR awards, including repeat for CHAPTER OF THE YEAR Join the chapter to see the passion and commitment of our members! #ESA2026

A quick reminder as #ESA2026 gets closer! 💙 If you're attending, don't forget to bring a piece of home to contribute to our chapter's fundraising table. Every item helps us celebrate the incredible diversity of our community! 🌎✨ @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social

I have officially started as Investigadora at the Instituto de Biología, UNAM. UNAM is a dream come true! Life is hectic! And I'm so excited for the immediate future, that will certainly involve liverworts, phylogenetics, and dogs! Follow my adventures here, ixchelgzlzr.github.io/es/

🧪 New paper alert from our lab! 🔥🧪 Making predictions for competition in a warming world has been a challenge. We find that warming levels the playing field among species, altering competition, even in the benign portion of species niches Check it out here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

General Predictions for the Effects of Warming on Competition

We combined two major theories in ecology to investigate whether warming may have general effects on competition for shared resources. We found that species' niche and fitness differences both decrea...

When I decided to go to college, the guys in the band were pretty hip on it because they knew how big of a nerd I was. Like, "What else would you expect him to do but to go off and be a nerd?" I mean, I've got a Ph.D in biochemistry — how uncool is that?  Milo Aukerman #punkrockhistory

🚨New paper alert 🚨 In a 13-year experiment in longleaf pine savannas, we tested when passive recovery works, and how active interventions can help it along. 🧵 Read it here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Active interventions accelerate native plant recolonization following agricultural abandonment

Our results show that combined canopy thinning and prescribed burning can accelerate natural recolonization in savanna systems. However, additional measures (e.g. seed addition) may be needed for wea...

When trees compete, they don’t all respond the same way: they become more similar aboveground, but more different belowground. Our new paper shows that these opposite trait shifts can both ease competition and help species coexist. 🌳 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Shifts in above‐ and below‐ground trait dissimilarity under competition mediate the future impact of neighbours

Our findings reveal complementary above- and below-ground shifts in multidimensional trait dissimilarity in response to neighbours, providing new insight into potential mechanisms by which plants dea...

Sifting through cross-site @uslter.bsky.social data, researchers found plots with greater biodiversity were more resistant to extreme climatic events. But the key dimensions of biodiversity that helped them cope in wet years weren’t the same as those for dry years. eeb.msu.edu/news/from-de...

OK y'all asking for advice: When i was a little grad student I always had 1 project in development, 1 project being written up, and 1 project in review. Now as a postdoc and finishing up my PhD stuff I have about 3x that many projects in all those stages. How do you stay on top of it all?

Hi! I'm not here very often, but I just launched my brand new lab website! I'm also hiring a !!! three-year !!! Postdoc. Interest form link can be found under "The Team" section. (Current domain name is temporary haha. FormorphologyLab dot com coming soon!) badger-mustard-h5jf.squarespace.com

Finally! Here is our perspective on why cooperation maximizes diversity and how it promotes additional coexistence mechanisms that do not occur under competition journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1... This is a hard topic with strong opinions... Thanks @asn-amnat.bsky.social for publishing it! 🧵👇

Context here is grasslands and savannas are often treated as degraded forests, which means restoration targets a forested state. But in these ancient systems restoration to forest would itself be ecological degradation.
