Love this exit seminar intro by Miguel Acevedo for Orlando Acevedo-Charry!! Congratulations Orlando!!
Really excited about Hernanβs Tropilunch where he is presenting his PhD work!! #conservation #environmentalcrime #Ecuador
Congratulations to all recipients for their amazing work but especially Dra. T. Patricia Feria - an alumna from my lab I met while she was an undergrad in Mexico. Paty is an incredible scholar, mentor, and leader. So very proud of her work at UTRGV www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-up...
a line of thunder-storm clouds bear down on a wide-open tallgrass prairie where a 2-track disappears into the distance.
Applied grassland ecologists! Consider applying for this job at K-State! Faculty position and director of 2 prairie research sites. (photo is one of my fave summer storms at one of the sites where I worked for many years)

Heading back to Gainesville after a relatively short but productive field season in Amazon at Tiputini Biodiversity Station. My dog sitter sent me this pic. Major is waiting! Marti too! Adorable, no?
So much is still the same. Many of the βTigresβ still work at the station and for some their sons also work here now! I think if that Tapir we saw often when I pass that location on Puma plot.

This is one full canoe heading to Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Yasuni- Ecuador Amazon! Great to be back in the field. 25 years of research on birds here.
Excited. The start of the 2025 field season. Heading off to Tiputini Biodiversity Station. Leaving Coca on Rio Napo.

Fulbright Amazon scholars are reporting out on their teamβs research over past 18 months. Really excellent program.
Just saw the presentation by the Climate Disaster team. Excellent!!!
Diagram showing how tree species diversity can influence understory plants through changes in microclimate which in turn affects phenology and nectar and pollen quantity and quality. This may affect pollinator visits and plant fitness

Corlett 1 2 Show more Add to Mendeley Share Cite https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2024.11.007 Get rights and content Highlights The fossil record suggests that climate change was the major driver of plant extinctions and regional extirpations from the Pliocene until recently, when anthropogenic habitat loss became dominant. Known recent plant extinctions are disproportionately few in comparison with well-studied animal taxa, but many more species are probably committed to inevitable extinction unless given targeted support. Recent warm-edge extirpations demonstrate the growing impact of anthropogenic climate change and show that predictions of massive climate-driven extinctions later this century are plausible. The proximate causes for population extirpations are still rarely known but are likely to be highly varied and both species and location specific."
