New paper! "Why are non-native plants successful? Consistently fast economic traits and novel origin jointly explain abundance across US ecoregions" in @newphyt.bsky.social. Another great paper by my amazing collaborators. 🌎🧪 #bioinvasions nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Here’s me as a baby scientist 30+ yrs ago working on the Tongass as a fisheries tech. I am so grateful for the protections that have preserved so much since then, & I am now very worried about the repeal of the “Roadless Rule” & associated return to road building & other destructive practices.

The climate and biodiversity costs to opening up roadless areas are astronomical. The roadless rule protects over half of Tongass National Forest, which is home to over 400 species of wildlife and stores more than 10% of the carbon accumulated by all national forests across the US.

We maintain a small garden of various algae for some of our experiments, and this is one of the species: Charophyte algae, Klebsormidium nitens. Each cell in the filament has one elliptical or discoid-shaped chloroplast. #microscopymonday #algae

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Charles Elton wrote his classic book "Animal Ecology" nearly a century ago (1927). Much of it remains insightful, and the Conclusion still resonates.
