Great job @saltyecoevo.bsky.social !
Our last post showcasing the contributions of our students Jorin and Kirby at the Karen L. Smith Undergraduate Research Symposium! www.arcastilla.com/blognews/sho...
Congratulations Javier! Great work!
@jillahamilton.bsky.social It was a real pleasure having you at @okstate.edu! One of the best parts of our work is meeting colleagues who share our passion for what we do. Your visit was truly inspiring for our lab and hopefully marks the beginning of future collaborations!

Congrats, Curro!
So glad to hear youβre going for a PhDβthatβs awesome! Iβm sure some really cool stuff will come out of your research. Canβt wait to see where it takes you!
Fieldwork in Monahans Sandhills State Park, one of the study sites for our research focused on how local adaptation and hybridization shape genetic variation in shinnery oakβa foundational species that stabilizes sand dunes in the south-central US.
@shockerbotany.bsky.social good advice! π€£
Curro! For real, that place is something else. We camped at a very remote place and it was incredible. Being way out in the middle of nowhere, the stars were just mind-blowing.
Here are some photos from our fieldwork at Big Bend Ranch State Park! We collected leaf samples from Quercus hinckleyi to investigate epigenetic variation within populations. This research is supported by the International Oak Society.
Can plants keep up with fire regime changes through evolution? by @ltkelly.bsky.social et al. @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social

To what extent do novel fire regimes generate trait-fire regime mismatches?

New from the Castilla Lab! Undergraduate researchers Jorin Stockbrand, Kieby Wilcox, and Lainey Kirshberger share highlights from their presentations at the Undergraduate Research Symposium. www.arcastilla.com/blognews/ref...
Fieldwork in western OK! Today we scouted for shinnery oak populations in Quartz Mountains and surroundings. What a cool place Quartz Mountains State Park! Finally, we found our study population near Blair. Ryan has another piece of information for his assessment of the speciesβ genomic variation!
Do you want to hear more about the interests of our awarded PBEE senior student, Lainey Kirshberger? Check the new post on the Castilla Lab website. We are proud of Lainey and of contributing to providing research experiences to @okstate.edu undergrad students!

Kayleen Sugianto, one of my former General Ecology students, was recognized as the Ideal Graduate! Itβs truly rewarding to be on the other side of the room and watch my students achieve such ambitious goals. Iβm confident youβll go on to do great things, Kayleenβcongratulations! @okstate.edu
Enjoying some social time with my team! I'm grateful to work with such an enthusiastic and inspiring group. One of the great things about academia is the constant interaction with new generations of scientistsβit's energizing to feel their passion for science!
Our colleague Lainey Kirshberger was awarded as PBEE senior outstanding undergraduate student. We cannot be prouder of you Lainey! @okstate.edu
Really interesting post by my colleague @benebachelot.bsky.social about long-term monitoring of biotic interactions and how unexpected disturbances can open new opportunities! news.okstate.edu/articles/art...
This semester, three outstanding undergraduate studentsβLainey Kirshberger, Kirby Wilcox, and Jorin Stockebrandβare taking PBIO 4400: Undergraduate Research in Plant Biology and conducting their research projects at Castilla Lab.

Hey Fabio! I think the Stillwater Fire Department Facebook site is giving updates about evacuations
Yeah Neil! It looks terrific!
