[JOB!] I'm hiring for a really exciting postdoc position. A combination of breeding experiments, conservation genomics, and student mentorship. Room/board at the @amnh.org Southwestern Research Station each summer, 40 months of support, new science building at BSU. Share broadly! ad: bit.ly/4hKaUIL

A human hand holds a medium sized green frog with distinct gray spots and yellow eyes. This is a Chiricahua Leopard Frog, a threatened species native to the southwest US and Mexico.

From the abstract: “promoting a woman to Associate Professor increases female faculty by 1.5 members after 15 years, leads to six additional female PhD graduates over the following decade, and raises the number who subsequently remain in academia and reach tenured positions”

Fascinating paper on the progression of women in academia. 👩🏻‍🔬 ⚛️ 🧪 #AcademicSky docs.iza.org/dp18477.pdf?... Here's an excerpt from the conclusion:

When women do obtain tenure, the effects extend well beyond their own careers. Beyond the direct promotion of the qualifying candidate, departments experience on average one additional female promotion over the subsequent fifteen years, a substantial expansion of the female PhD pipeline, and improved retention and career progression among female doctoral graduates. These effects are concentrated in departments where women are underrepresented, but not entirely absent, suggesting that a minimal female presence is a precondition for trickle-down effects to materialize, whether through mutual support, departmental influence, or other channels that require women not to be entirely isolated.

It was a pleasure to contribute to this amazing initiative by #ProcB. In our paper, Angela M. Mendoza-Henao, Johana Goyes Vallejos, and I provide an overview of female calling behaviour in frogs, highlighting this largely overlooked aspect of anuran behaviour. Read our paper here: bit.ly/4gT0aao

Really nice memoriam to Robert Ricklefs by Brian McGill: dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2026/06/11/r... Ricklefs got ecologists to think big: about the role of history, biogeography & macroevolution on ecological patterns. More than anyone, his work shaped the course of my career.

Robert Ricklefs – in memoriam

Robert Ricklefs, a giant of ecology, passed away on Sunday. It is hard to overstate the extensive impact Bob had on the field. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the US,…

New paper out today in Ecology Letters! We use Modern Coexistence Theory and Metabolic Theory to get general predictions for the effect of temperature on competition. Led by brilliant postdoc @kaleighedavis.bsky.social and @joeybernhardt.bsky.social, with Po-Ju Ke, Patrick Thompson and Mary O'Connor

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...

"We argue that current levels of inclusion are insufficient and symbolic, and we provide constructive insights to design wider participatory approaches."

I too enjoy the annual "emerging conservation issues" horizon scans, but when the majority of invited experts are based in the UK or US and they talk about global priorities, it's eyebrow-raising at least. Rethinking representation when defining emerging conservation priorities 🧪🌍

Today marks a special day. 💚 We started this project nearly a decade ago when I was just a wee undergrad with a burning curiosity. Now to see it published in Oecologia as a PhD candidate is surreal... & on the one-year anniversary of my father's passing, no less. So grateful. doi.org/10.1007/s004...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Thankful to have a solid foundation in this and no bad habits to break, but I'll be sending this to all the new students in the department. It's so important and future you (or whoever inherits your data) will thank you! 🤣

Save the Data in Plain Text Files ABSTRACT Spreadsheets are widely used software tools for data entry, storage, analysis, and visualization. Focusing on the data entry and storage aspects, this article offers practical recommendations for organizing spreadsheet data to reduce errors and ease later analyses. The basic principles are: be consistent, write dates like YYYY-MM-DD, do not leave any cells empty, put just one thing in a cell, organize the data as a single rectangle (with subjects as rows and variables as columns, and with a single header row), create a data dictionary, do not include calculations in the raw data files, do not use font color or highlighting as data, choose good names for things, make backups, use data validation to avoid data entry errors, and save the data in plain text files.
