I know it is nearing the end of the field season when we can no longer walk through our sample processing lab. These are bags full of plant material awaiting our drying ovens which are running 24/7

The fabulous postdoc Toby Tsang published a paper on where exotic ants are restricted indoors and where climate might release new invaders into outdoor environments. And it got a lot of press!

I went back to my hometown of Hearst, ON. While cycling gravel logging roads, after I saw 3 wolves & a bear, I realized there was no major settlement/infrastructure for 800 km ahead of me. There are so few places left on Earth where #nature is larger than humans, we need to ensure they persist.

Well, this is an interesting Deepseek feature. Watch until the end when it self deletes. Yes, Let's talk about something else...

So sad to see this. John Measey was a great herpetologist and a fun person to be around.

Two studies in the same issue of Science examine macroecological biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships, showing that they fit broader scale sampling processes. Interesting, but with most things in ecology, the deviations are intriguing.

And the meek shall inherit the Earth. The plant found in cities on all continents is... Erigeron canadensis (Canadian fleabane or horseweed).

Can we predict the affects of multiple environmental change drivers on biodiversity and ecosystem function? Yes, so long as we understand how ECDs impact individual species. Effects range from reducing biodiversity & function to enhancing - depending on emergent trade-offs.

Fascinating article from Simonsen & Dinnage. They show that legume species establishing in a community is constrained by the phylogenetic conservation of compatible mutualistic partners more than for related species that do not form mutualistic symbiosis. bit.ly/3Dt5gce

Did you know that the monarch butterfly is not alone in its long migration? Other closely related butterflies also migrate. I visited an overwintering site for multiple Danaini (same tribe as monarchs) species in Hong Kong -1000s of butterflies! Scientists are not sure where they are migrating from.

I've submitted about 40 reference letters this fall for graduate programs. For all that is good in the world, can we please agree on a standard format and web interface?
