Hi 👋 I'm Dr. Sheryl Hosler, currently a postdoc at Penn State synthesizing data from a 12yr study to figure out which cover crops mixtures do the best at providing multiple ecosystem services in farm fields.
I love #scicomm, restoration, urban ecology, dung beetles, and bees!

-Has never cared at all about whales before;
-Is in the pocket of big oil, an industry which has a financial incentive to oppose alternative energy;
and
-is a well-documented liar,
You don't have to take their "we have to stop offshore wind to save whales" claims seriously.

Science will be much more efficient without scientists.
Universities are being destroyed because we don't NEED them anymore.
Instead, all existing data will be fed to AI "agents" who will mine them to "test new hypotheses" and "generate scientific breakthroughs". 🤨🤢🤮

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Can we derive general rules?
Here we find plant-pollinator networks in grasslands
& plant-herbivore ones in woodlands
both become more complex with restoration age & area

Aphodiini (dung beetles) are important decomposers & comprise ~2,200 species, yet are still a bit of a mystery. Here, their molecular phylogeny is reconstructed to explore the evolutionary history of their nesting behaviour & body size! 🧪 🌍 💩
