Had the most beautiful first days (& sunsets) of 2025 at the @asn-amnat.bsky.social conference in Asilomar, CA! I loved presenting what we've been working on since last Fall in the Gaiarsa Lab. We are using CC models to explore how heat waves would impact the life cycle of solitary bee species!

Excited to share the early view of one of my PhD chapters, where I looked at community assembly from a multi-community perspective! #ecology #bees #assembly #microbiome. Big thanks to my mentors, Marko and Quinn!
Multitrophic assembly influences β‐diversity across a tripartite system of flowering plants, bees, and bee‐gut microbiomes
Theoretical frameworks of terrestrial community assembly often focus on single trophic levels (e.g. plants) without considering how complex interdependencies across different trophic levels influence....

In this Perspective, we outline how #soil formation processes and complexity at the landscape scale can inform predictions of soil organic matter (SOM) cycling and soil #carbon sequestration.

🎉 My first first-author paper is officially out! bit.ly/jotrbf

In this study, we explored blow fly community composition in neighboring deserts within Joshua Tree National Park.

A map of Joshua Tree National Park highlights research findings on blow fly communities. The map is split into three zones: Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and the Transition Zone. Collection sites are marked with symbols for different studies: Study 1 (Mojave Desert, Transition Zone, Sonoran Desert) and Study 2 (high-visitor activity and low-visitor activity sites). Two main questions are presented: Do blow fly communities differ between neighboring deserts? Results show differences temporally and spatially, with the Mojave Desert differing from the Transition Zone and Sonoran Desert. What is the impact of human activity on blow fly communities within protected areas? Community composition did not differ, but species richness varied seasonally and was unaffected by visitor activity levels. Additional visuals include icons representing seasons (leaf and tree symbols), human activity (campfire symbol), and blow fly species (small fly icons). A scale bar (miles/kilometers) and credits to mapping sources (Esri, NASA, NPS, etc.) appear at the bottom of the image.
