This makes me wanna do a second PhD! Looking for a PhD or Postdoc project? Interested in quantitative approaches to investigate how wildlife copes with extreme weather events? Cannot recommend working with Jeremy and this department enough!

Jeremy Cohen@drjerbs.bsky.social · 3w ago

I'm joining Rutgers DEENR in a tenure-track faculty position this fall! I'll be recruiting a quantitative postdoc in climate change wildlife ecology (start fall 26 or jan 27) and PhD student doing bioacoustics to study avian responses to extreme weather (start fall 27).

Doubled-edged Dispersal! In the Anthropocene, animals disperse a lot of things. From seeds and nutrients, to pathogens and invasives. Our new paper discusses the need to balance trade-offs when both desirable and undesirable functions occur simultaneously www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Check out our 'how to' of integrating extreme heat into studies of organismal biology and biogeography!

Various animals have achieved fame as 'endlings’ - the last individuals of their species. Can their tragic stories help to protect other threatened species? To unpack this, we talk to @alexanderlees.bsky.social & @joannalilley.bsky.social on #NatureInsight. bit.ly/3Ow0Wef

'Endlings’ are the last individuals of their species. In the final episode of Season 4, @alexanderlees.bsky.social & @joannalilley.bsky.social talk about processing the loss of endlings (& the importance of conserving what's left) through science & art. Listen: Nature Insight: bit.ly/3Ow0Wef 🧪🌍
