New research: Landscape connectivity across Canada and the USA. A seamless, high resolution connectivity map across both countries. πŸ§ͺ🌎 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thanks to @idiv for funding and hosting our first working group meeting on range edge dynamics (sRED) @kemarshall.bsky.social @joeybernhardt.bsky.social @juancarvq.bsky.social @shaharchaikin.bsky.social @usuitakuji.bsky.social @emmamarjakangas.bsky.social @colingarroway.bsky.social

A new paper from our lab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... All meta-analysts can use this to get extra insights

Brilliant new paper by Jill Anderson and colleagues using 9 years of transplant experiments and integral projection models to predict the capacity of populations for adaptation and persistence under new climates in Boechera stricta. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I’m recruiting a PhD student in macrogenetics at Dalhousie University πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦! Focus will be on the biogeography of vertebrate genetic diversity or urban evolutionary ecology. Full ad: www.schmidt-biodiversity-lab.org/macrogenetic... If the ad is up, applications are still open. Please share widely! 🧬🧬

What do you think, can we forecast evolution❓ @sevans.bsky.social and I would love to hear your thoughts, so if you are going to #ESEB2025, submit a talk to our symposium (S24: Forecasting evolution in natural populations) and join @colingarroway.bsky.social and Patrik Nosil! Deadline April 25.

New graduate positions (both MSc and PhD) open in our lab! csee-scee.ca/msc-and-phd-...

"The end of data has broad societal costs" concludes the article. Which, for me, is the primary benefit of data archiving πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

#2025MMM FINAL ROAR WINNERS: Polar Bear Puma Join us Wednesday 4/2 at 8PM EST for the CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE!

#lirpaloof Since it's already 2025-04-01 for most of the world ... a slightly updated version of the `celebrate` package: `remotes::install_github("bbolker/bbmisc/celebrate")`. (Description: Celebrate your successes and mourn your failures.) Now supports `htest` objects!

New @sihorses.bsky.social publication by @mstothart.bsky.social on the toxicity of Beach Pea on Sable Island doi.org/10.22621/cfn...

writing another review where I point to the Table 2 Fallacy (doi.org/10.1093/aje/... and doi.org/10.1017/psrm...) and say stop interpreting every single coefficient

In this paper, we present the Sarah from a 3-year common garden experiment, including a food manipulation experiment during hand rearing. Tons of work by many people.

In their new article, @chloology.bsky.social et al. dig into molecular diversity from 2513 locations. Mammal pops, particularly large spp, were more genetically diverse when near multiple protected areas; & older MPAs contained more genetically diverse fish populations. doi.org/10.1111/conl...

Our paper on ancient human population structure is now published. We find that the ancestors of modern humans lived in multiple populations during the period when Homo sapiens evolved in Africa. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So happy that this one is finally out, today in @naturecomms.bsky.social Migrating baleen whales transport nutrients from their high-latitude feeding grounds to the tropics and subtropics www.nature.com/articles/s41...

YES! We said it al along: we need more diversity for lab mice! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

πŸ§ͺ NOAA lost numerous extremely talented and committed scientist civil servants today. Their careers were committed to making all of our lives better: predicting weather and effects of climate change, monitoring and managing sustainable fisheries, and recovering endangered species. 🀬

thanks so much for the press release about our new urban coyote movement study, @calacademy.bsky.social !! πŸ§ͺ🌎 www.calacademy.org/press/releas...

Excited to share our new study "Environmental health and societal wealth predict movement patterns of an urban carnivore"- out today in Ecology Letters! All about how social-ecological features influence coyote movement. (1/n) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… [πŸ“Έ Johanna Turner] πŸ§ͺ🌎

Do you use survival (time-to-event) analysis and interested in calculating repeatability (ICC - intra-class correlation) - here is how (it is just a simple formula) authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Our special feature/passion project at AmNat, "Demystifying fundamental theories in ecology", co-organized with @sebastianschreiber.bsky.social is out now 🀩 www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/an/2025/...

Immediately assigning this new paper to my pop gen students! Waples publishes some real hits - "What is a population?" is another instant classic onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

PhD project alert! 🚨 I'm recruiting a PhD student to join my lab and the MacroSize network to investigate the trends, patterns, and processes driving intraspecific variation in fish body size in the Anthropocene. Exciting opportunity to explore ecological dynamics in a changing world! :) 🌎🐟🐠🐑

Deadline for applications is now just over 2 weeks away. Please circulate widely

Registrations and submissions for #CSEE2025 are now OPEN! Don’t miss your chance, submit your abstract and register before March 15th. Registration: event.fourwaves.com/scee2025/pages. Accommodation: event.fourwaves.com/scee2025/pag... #phdsky #evolbiol #ecology 🌎

I'm teaching two workshops at #CSEE2025: * Intro to science communication * Intro to storytelling in science Material is different and complementary. Skills are relevant for any career stage, in academic and non-academic jobs. #SciComm @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social @csee-scee.bsky.social

Best eco-evo conference there is. Come join me (and lots of way better folk) in Sherbrooke in July!

Fieldwork opportunity: We're looking to hire a field assistant for the www.phenoweb.org project starting 1 April. Please repost. #phenology #fieldwork #birdringing

Lifetime reproductive success (LRS) is a key metric in evolutionary biology and ecology. But what counts as a success? And whose successes do we count? @sevans.bsky.social doesn't shy away from the big questions in this new paper just out in @journal-evo.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/evolut/artic...

Museum biology FTW! Cool!

Declining body size is a widely anticipated response to #anthropogenic #ClimateChange, but how general is it? @lbuckley.bsky.social &co use a >50-year study of montane #grasshoppers to show that size shifts depend on both elevation & species’ seasonal timing πŸ§ͺ @plosbiology.org plos.io/3CEBrF6

Great new study on evolutionary origins of a human pest, the Culex pipiens mosquito and its molestus form (famous as a mammal-feeding pest of the NYC, London and other subway systems) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Lots! Recently, our @uslter.bsky.social Synthesis Working Group published a synthesis paper in an #EcologyLetters Very Long-Term Data special issue! We explored a new area of research, looking at Community-Level synchrony in woody plant reproduction. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Congratulations to @robynshaw.bsky.social, @cegrueber.bsky.social, and too many other friends to list here on this important paper in @nature.com on the global extent of genetic diversity loss. It was a pleasure discussing it w/ Elizabeth Pennisi from @science.org. www.science.org/content/arti...

9 days left to submit a proposal for a workshop or symposium for the 2025 meeting of the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution in Sherbrooke this July! Come visit me and the Eastern Townships! πŸ§ͺhttps://event.fourwaves.com/scee2025/pages/6ba90353-d44a-4202-ab93-60d0eb09f35f

The typeset version is finally out. It was interesting to use stable isotopes for the first time in my research program. Another paper using isotopes with urban raccoons will be submitted soon! cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/...

Now online! Our perspective on the genomic offset simulation paper of @brandonlind.bsky.social and @drk-lo.bsky.social. In short: Genomic offset can predict fitness under changed environments, but performance is reduced under highly novel environments. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Excited to share my student's #data #rstats #biostats memes from my Intro to Data course this fall. Many thanks to all the students who gave me permission to share their creations! πŸ§ͺπŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬

I went back today and got video. Just watch! #sqrlpix

Congrats to @jeffgroh.bsky.social et al on publication of "Ancient structural variants control sex-specific flowering time morphs in walnuts and hickories" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
