I am looking for a PhD student to join our work at @CASUSscience and work on ecological pattern formation. The project is not tied to a specific system, and options range from microbes to vegetation in water-limited ecosystems. Starting date is Feb 2025 and app. deadline Nov 22.

I want to take a moment to acknowledge international students:
The constant worry & energy spent working on immigration documents
Being excluded from funding opportunities valued for postdoc & faculty positions
And the emotional toll of being away from family

Uneven genetic data limits biodiversity assessments in PAs globally but not in data-rich areas. Increased efforts to gather, harmonize & share existing population-level nuclear genetic data can inform area-based conservation initiatives. New preprint here: doi.org/10.32942/X2ZC84

Fear alone is not enough to motivate climate action; if people are afraid but don't know what to do, they will do nothing. That's why it's essential to communicate both the risks of inaction (the bad news) + the potential of action (the good news) in equal proportions.

New paper about attrition of women in Academia has some interesting results under the hood. Higher rate is driven by non-STEM fields, low prestige unis, and largest for full profs. Attrition lower or equal for STEM women at top unis (B-D). Thoughts on why?

What will recovering whale populations look like in a changing climate? So happy to see our paper on gray whale population dynamics out today in @ScienceMagazine! We show that gray whales go through major boom and bust cycles in response to dynamic and changing Arctic conditions.

Our new paper in @MethodsEcolEvol announces marineomics.io, an @evolvingseas website sharing tools for rigorous, reproducible genomics in non-model & marine species
We outline the site's resources, how they're made, and how YOU can contribute!

Excited to share my first post-doc paper! We found that more disease resistant staghorn corals tend to have mutations in particular genes involved in the immune system!
and its in Science!!

Among the changes the Anthropocene brings, species tend to be getting smaller through time (especially 🐠🐡🦈). In this @ScienceMagazine paper led by @InesISMartins, @maadornelas et al, we explored this phenomenon by synthesizing @bioTIMEdb data in an #sDiv group @idiv. See 🧵👇

Not all marine heatwaves have impacts, and not all top predators respond uniformly to a given heatwave. This paper led by @Heather_M_Welch at @UCSC_Fisheries highlights the challenges we face as novel environmental signals lead to novel ecosystem responses.
Our new paper in @NatureComms uses a multi-species, multi-heatwave framework to model MHW impacts on marine predators.
We find a surprising diversity of impacts across species and MHWs, signaling a need for ecosystem-based investigations of MHW impacts.
