State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE.
DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

I'm super excited to share that our article on conservation genomics of Island Oak (Quercus tomentella) is now out in @evolappjournal.bsky.social! This was one of my PhD chapters and funded by CCGP and TNC. 🌾(🧵 below)

In a common garden study outside the natural range, we found weak local adaptation to climate in western larch seedlings and no effects of selective breeding on spring phenology or cold hardiness. With @sallyaitken.bsky.social

Congratulations to @rafaelcr.bsky.social on publishing this paper from his PhD. He assessed seedlings from >70 populations of Douglas-fir from across the range under severe drought experiment and found surprisingly little population differentiation.
