Our experiment manipulates whether habitat fragments are connected by corridors, as well as how much edge fragments have
After starting populations of these species in each fragment (by transplanting), we've tracked growth of their populations for the past 18 years

White oak! Doing its thang - you can tell so much by this particular one - this probably was an open woodland or a savanna (see the massive branches that were aborted). Love love love

ICE is snatching people across Chicagoland again today.
Insanity inducing number of reports and sightings rolling in, including—you guessed it—agents over at 31st/Cicero again.
A car window smashed near Roosevelt and Cicero. Sightings in Wheeling, southwest side of Chicago, more in Cicero, Melrose Park, Blue Island.
The ring of fire is burning

As a Chicagoan, I feel good about how our governor and our mayor have handled things, but that doesn't change the reality of the moment—and this is a very ugly, very challenging moment.

JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech
TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.

With credible reports that there will soon be a major increase in federal immigration enforcement activity in Chicago, I want to once again highlight the Family Support Network - a rapid response resource run by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). Use it if you spot ICE.
