High-resolution Planet Dove data identify local drivers of kelp canopy persistence - Communications Earth & Environment

High-resolution kelp canopy maps from a convolutional neural network showed that kelp persistence after a marine heatwave was linked to pre-heatwave persistence, cooler sea surface temperatures, shall...

Darwin speculated that it was energetically costly to be an hermaphrodite. He thought that might explain why they were relatively rare in animals. Our paper out today tested this conjecture for the first time. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Hermaphrodites have lower metabolic rates than gonochores

Abstract. Hermaphroditism, where an individual can reproduce as both male and female, offers some clear reproductive advantages. Simultaneous hermaphroditi

OK, #causalinference #ecology folk - my paper with the even excellent @lauradee.bsky.social on causal inference with observational data is now out in Ecology Letters! 🌍🧪🌊 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Causal Inference With Observational Data and Unobserved Confounding Variables

As ecology tackles progressively larger problems, we are moving beyond the scales at which randomised controlled experiments are feasible. Using observational data for causal inference raises the pro...

To update people on the NSF PRFB situation: despite the court challenge and rescinding the original memo, the NSF has continued to comply with the executive order. They have not communicated with us at all and our paychecks are still canceled indefinitely. I know people who cannot pay their rent.

🚨Exciting news!🚨 I am elated to announce that I have started a new position at the Oceans Dept. at Stanford as a @NSF OCE Postdoc Fellow working with Drs. Kristen Davis and Peter Edmunds. I am humbled and excited for this work, exploring coral community resilience in the #MCRLTER!

If you’re at #wsn2023 come check out my talk today at 2:45 in Community Ecology II where I’ll be chatting about how exploring multitrophic perspectives in community ecology can broaden our understanding of ecological stability! #synchrony #stability #mpas
