European starlings steal cattle feed, consume crops and have even brought down an airplane. But the story of how they became a North American pest has been debunked. nyti.ms/3uscKos

The Shakespearean Tall Tale That Shaped How We See Starlings (Published 2022)

Researchers debunked a long-repeated yarn that the common birds owe their North American beginnings to a 19th-century lover of the Bard. Maybe this ubiquitous bird’s story is ready for a reboot.

Prevention & Early Detection-Rapid Response are at the core of Invasive Species management. This seems to be what is being done for #COVID2019 . I wonder why there is such a dissociation (lack of interaction among researchers) between Invasion Science & Epidemiology...

Invasive Species Have Led to a Third of Animal Extinctions Since 1500 - EcoWatch

The introduction of invasive species has been the no. 1 cause of plant and animal extinctions over the past 500 years, a new study from University College London found. The study looked at 953...

Our latest paper now out in @NewPhyt bit.ly/327BAbK Excellent work led by @dhiatt_ on how invader populations and native species vary in phenotypic plasticity. This paper was a long time coming but well worth it!

Here's to ending the #plantsci tradition of coming in to water your plants on long weekends and holidays! Instructions to setup a simple timed irrigation (and fertilization) system online on our lab website: uhriglab.com/timed-watering-… Tested w/ Arabidopsis, Benthamiana and Petunia

Just installed a simple timed watering system and now I don't know why more plant labs don't do this, not all #plantsci students have green thumbs y'know.
