Three B's of importance:biodiversity, bikes and bunnies. I get to express these B's in neat ways; biking to my job at Univ. Florida and two disapproving bunnies

Excited to share this brand-new #phenology pub with the wonderful Rob Guralnick, Lindsay Campbell, and Erin Grady! The framework offers utility for predicting phenological sensitivity and responsiveness in temperate regions and across plant species. nature.com/articles/s43247-0…

Excited about this work led by @AFredston and @mwtingley ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vi… that I think can help reshape how we think about species redistribution under global change

Glad to have these changes out so that we can make @inaturalist data even more useful for studying plant phenology!
Now you can annotate all iNaturalist observations of vascular plants to indicate evidence of leaf buds, leaves, seasonal color change, or no leaves! Read more: inaturalist.org/blog/96054-e…

Welcome Jonathan Nations, our new curator of mammals! Like many scientists, the path from curiosity to profession was a winding journey—one filled with marmots, voles, shrews and rats. 🐀 More about Jonathan: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/scienc…

Our lab is moving to the EEB department at the University of Arizona @UofAEEB this fall. We are excited about the move but also sad to say goodbye to so many great colleagues and friends here at LSU! We for sure will remember and appreciate this incredible journey here.

Paper on mega-genus Astragalus is officially out! We focused on biogeographic problems in the arid North Hemisphere. A broader point of interest is the large-scale study of plant edaphic ecology, something I hope there is more of in the future. doi.org/10.1002/ajb2.16299
