Finally posted an ad for the postdoc position on my new NSF-funded project—come help build a new method to study plants' responses to environmental variation in space and over time, and figure out interesting ways to use it! Apply by 23 August to ensure consideration. Details: buff.ly/qTvaqvD

I had so much fun working on this perspective piece with Annabelle, Emily, David and John! I am looking forward to incorporating the things we learned into ongoing and future research efforts

The incredible vulnerability that reproduction poses for plant species in a warming world Denney et al. @derekdenney.bsky.social @emjo.bsky.social @davidlowry.bsky.social @msupri.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Diagram illustrating how heat stress affects plants at whole-plant and reproductive levels. Panel A shows a plant with responses grouped into molecular and cellular processes and organismal traits. Effects include both increases and decreases depending on the trait. Panel B focuses on reproductive structures, showing negative effects of heat on seeds, fruit, pollen, floral organs, and ovules. These include reduced seed size, number, and filling, smaller fruit and fewer seeds, impaired pollen development and germination, reduced gamete production and fertility, structural damage to floral tissues, and increased ovule abortion. Arrows indicate whether traits increase, decrease, or vary under heat stress.

Leaf size is an important trait shaping species distributions globally. We looked at how climate and evolutionary history influence leaf size in conifers! Spoiler: lots of evolutionary conservatism! Check out our paper in @globalchangebio.bsky.social out now: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Leaf Size in Conifers: Global Associations With Climate and Evolutionary History

Global patterns in leaf size are linked to climatic trade-offs, so we explore these relationships in a major group of plants, the conifers. Using contemporary phylogenetic methods, we show that conif....

France will be at the epicenter of the most significant heat anomaly on the planet over the next few days. The sheer extent of the country that could experience temperatures above 40°C is nothing short of astonishing.

Thanks for sharing @timcurran.bsky.social . I was inspired to write about warm winters when we had some record hot June days but by the time it got published, we hit a cold snap so the article missed the moment. But it's still true - winters are warming and that brings lots of changes.
