Recent publication from our lab group provides a "recipe" for wetland restoration in fire-suppressed longleaf pine flatwoods, resulting in more than doubling the number of ponds with breeding populations of reticulated flatwoods salamanders. 🌏🧪 conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Tracking reticulated flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma bishopi) recovery in response to habitat restoration and assisted translocations
Naive (a) and predicted (b) number of occupied sites between 2003 and 2024. Naive occupancy data derived from larval captures, while predicted occupancy estimates are from a dynamic, spatially explic....

It's not going to "vanish," it's going to be eliminated by the current administration.

Bees are collapsing in the U.S. A key to their secrets might vanish.
The top federal lab on native bees is set to close under President Trump’s budget.

My latest for @instbirdpop.bsky.social ! This was our 2024 winter card illustration - a break from the snow, since the end of the year comes to the tropics too! Featuring a nosa' luta (Zosterops rotensis) chowing down on a caterpillar plucked off a trongkon guåfi (Serianthes nelsonii) 🎨🪶🐡🌏 #birdart

It took more than a decade of field work by a large and dedicated crew, and several years of data wrangling by postdocs, graduate students, and research associates, and great support from sponsors and colleagues, but exciting to see it come together! 🧪 🌎 doi.org/10.1643/h202...
Wetland Hydrology, Not Altered Phenology, Challenges Reticulated Flatwoods Salamander (Ambystoma bishopi) Management Under Future Climate Change
Shifts in phenology have been one of the most frequently documented effects of climate change across a wide variety of taxonomic groups. These shifts can alter both species and ecosystem level process...

Ten Principles From Evolutionary Ecology for the Effective Conservation of Reptiles and Amphibians
ABSTRACT. Reptiles and amphibians are disproportionately threatened among vertebrates but are lagging behind other vertebrate taxa with regards to conservation plans. As the need to triage data-limite...
