New preprint! Here, we use a multi-year survey of >4,200 random plots across ~1100 km of Pacific coast to show that habitat patch availability (suitability, size, connectivity, temporal stability) declines towards and beyond the range limit of a coastal dune endemic: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
It might be #SCEECSEE20 anniversary, but it's also St. John's, NL 10th anniversary! We had rain, fog, a Newfoundlander dog at the mixer, a baby on a SWEEET panel, row houses, icebergs, gannets, screech ins, and more. It was a time! Photo credit to folks on that other app using the conf. hashtag.

Had so much fun today representing @munlgeog.bsky.social at the virtual ACAG conference! I discussed some preliminary results from a project with @carissabrown.bsky.social, where we’ve found unusual post-fire black spruce recruitment patterns at the south coast of Labrador 🌱
ACAG*’s 2024 conference has kicked off, and the first #NorthernEDGELab @munlgeog.bsky.social talk was from MSc candidate Pierrette James-Bourque. Great science, baby trees, and memes - what else could one ask for? *Atlantic Division of the Canadian Association of Geographers
Hi everyone! To introduce myself on BlueSky after moving over from the bad place: my name is Graydon (he/him), I’m a grad student currently in Newfoundland, and I’m interested in plant ecology, species’ distributions, and range limits. I’d love to connect with other #ecoevo folks on here!
Made a little starter pack for Geographers at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador! @munlgeog.bsky.social go.bsky.app/Gd1RF3v
We are here! Help us reconnect with any and all allies of the LGBTQ+ community in Plant Science!
Wow, things are really picking up over here! Guess we’d better dust off our account and start to #ThinkOutside under this sunny BlueSky (okay, we are in Newfoundland in November, so outlook for actual blue sky is … uncertain). Stay tuned for some content from the last few months!
Huge congrats to @maxliboiron.bsky.social & collabs on their SSHRC Partnership Grant! “…IndigeLab Network brings together 18 researchers…to innovate ways to bring gendered, Indigenous ways of knowing & doing into lab cultures & other research collectives” gazette.mun.ca/research/kno...
We love to #ThinkOutside at MUNL Geography! @carissabrown.bsky.social took #GEOG3140 Biogeography students out to a good ol’Newfoundland boreal bog to talk about adaptations and species-environment matching. Nothing makes those undergrad memories like a boot full of bog.
It was a great day to make #NoSpaceForHate in St. John’s.
