Amazing morning tagging along for the salmon research on Putah Creek!

Kiddo went all out on my birthday cake this year... With a little help from @rachaelabay.bsky.social :)

Michael Yuan is recruiting graduate students and potential postdocs to join his new evolutionary ecology lab at TCU in Fort Worth (www.myuanlab.com). He has funds to fully support PhD students starting both this fall 2025 and fall 2026. Please RT.

Genetic and morphological shifts associated with climate change in a migratory bird - BMC Biology Background Rapid morphological change is emerging as a consequence of climate change in many systems. It is intuitive to hypothesize that temporal morphological trends are driven by the same selective...

Happy to see this out! Led by Nicole Adams, we ask if morphological shifts in birds driven by climate change are accompanied by genetic shifts - evidence for adaptation? Yes for bill size: "large bill" alleles decrease over time! Not so much for body size. bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

I guess "words" is a pretty low bar...

Define "content" 🤣

Would love to be added!

Limpet cookies

My lab is great. For grad student Shreya's QE seminar on limpet climate change response they built her opening slide out of cookies. Then individual "move", "adapt" or "die" limpet cookies.

Where's the dislike button?

SO excited to announce our lab's paper, led by @katherinelauck, is out in @ScienceMagazine today!
 
With >150k nesting records from @CornellBirds' Nestwatch project, we find extreme heat dramatically reduces nest success on farms but not in forests (1/n).

Depends... did you already vote? 😜

Today voting opened for my tenure file. Also today - a pipe burst in my cold room, water ran down the hall and into the elevator shaft disabling both building elevators... I hope they keep me around 😬
