Can all my fellow scientists please review at least two times the number of papers you publish? It is so hard to get reviewers these days, and that really hurts young scientists especially!
Fort Collins folks, do you realize that Martha Wells is going to be in Fort Collins today! Go, Old Firehouse Books! I can hardly wait to read the latest Murderbot
What do you all think of somebody arguing back against Editorial decisions? And who do you see do it? (I've only ever had senior white men do that. Is it a pattern, or is that small sample size?)
40. The best idea in the world is worthless if people can't understand you. A mediocre idea* presented outstandingly will go over better than an outstanding idea presented mediocrely. (*grants, papers, seminars, talks, conversations etc etc)
We're looking for a junior specialist to work on a fun project exploring seagrass local adaptation across the whole state of California! It should be a good mix of field and molecular work. Please share with folks you think would be interested! recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07605

🚨 2nd master’s project! Interested in bird migration & genomics? 🧬🐦 Use whole-genome data to trace the recent colonization of Ouessant Island by Blue Tits and explore how irruptive migratory events can shape colonization dynamics. Please share! #ornithology www.vogelwarte.ch/de/wir/mitar...
the "handshake" service for advertising and hiring student hourly positions remains as nonfunctional as ever. just sayin'
Instead I'll tell you what's cute: the dog grabbing a toy and running at a squirrel squeaking it like crazy. If squeaks could kill! Lol.
I kinda miss my anonymous bird site account. I liked having a place to complain about things, apparently!
Just spent 5 hours grading a short essay exam in Canvas. I apparently missed that even when the answer shows as graded in canvas the grade isn't saved unless you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click update.
16 just asked to watch episode IV w me. Thank you social media feeds for making this happen! (A rare statement indeed.)
BTW - what an amazing group of US federal, university, and industry scientists working together to help protect our forests! @hufbauer.bsky.social @sandyliebhold.bsky.social
We already knew that the phylogenetic distance between an insect’s native and non-native hosts was a key predictor of impact on insects that specialize on conifers… doi.org/10.1002/ece3... …or specialize on hardwoods… doi.org/10.1007/s105... …but what about generalists?…
Evolutionary history predicts high‐impact invasions by herbivorous insects
This research is the first to empirically support historically assumed hypotheses about the importance of evolutionary history as a major driver of impact of non-native herbivorous insects. We discov...

Our new paper(!) developed a comprehensive model to predict which non-native insects will have high impact on trees after arrival… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
What Is a Specialist? Quantifying Host Breadth Enables Impact Prediction for Invasive Herbivores
Herbivores are commonly classified as host specialists or generalists for various purposes, yet the definitions of these terms, and their intermediates, are often imprecise and ambiguous. We quantifi...

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!
