Coming back from #esa2018 @ESA_org and looking for a postdoc? Have experience in theoretical ecology, population or range modeling, simulations OR Bayesian statistics? Here is preview of our job ad! Message me! Pls RT!
Quick update 2 with link 4 #ESA2018 talk -Burks R. Wait, you can't leave me! How to maintain research productivity w undergraduates post graduation [version 1; not peer reviewed]. F1000Research 2018, 7:1249 (slides) (doi: 10.7490/f1000research.1115925.1)
I just received a nice message saying how great it was to meet me at #ESA2018 and following up on a possible collaborative project this person had suggested when we met at #ESA2018 .
Which is interesting, because I did not attend #ESA2018 .
Don’t do this.
#ESA2018 Many apologies for downplaying the ramifications of #ESA2019 being held in Kentucky. I was wrong. I support efforts to make #ESA2019 live up to its theme of “Inclusion,” and I’ll help work to make it so. Our LGBTQ+ community deserves better.
Hoping 2 see this develop into something more but decided to share #ESA2018 Inspire Talk Slides - Wait, you can't leave me! How to maintain research productivity with undergraduates.... Slides in @F1000research
Soon to say goodbye New Orleans but taking back a little culture w me. Welcome new idols 4 my Molecular Ecology work #whateverworks #cantexplainsomethings #ESA2018
So glad that I went 2 late Breaking posters #ESA2018 - made new apple snail connection, found out about nifty software that puts together & Evaluates student groups (catme) & brainstormed bit of followup paper 2 session. #timewellspent #staytotheend
so long #ESA2018 and NOLA. attendance on Friday am, as usual, not great. Can we all agree that it’s time to get rid of the Fri 1/2 day and either have a full day (AGU does) or make it a 4d mtg by adding to the light Mon am schedule? @osvaldosala can we discuss?
#ESA2018 excellent poster by Elizabeth Berg on retention of micro plastics across substrates. Lots familiar names on poster @johnkellymicro @DrArialShogren @jenniferltank @HoelleinH2Olab @NDBios @NDLEEF @LoyolaChicago - thought - how do micro plastics interact w eDNA @drbarnes
Cool technique - relaxation of Apple snails w menthol to measure antennae length or possible non lethal predation impacts #ESA2018
.@ColinJCarlson: We have no theory for parasite diversity! We know too little to make estimates of unknown species. #ESA2018 #INS30
Also @bennyborremans: Neutral theory may be the best avenue for predictions for disease emergence. #ESA2018 #INS30
Sílvia Gutiérre - Super excited 2 hear about native apple snails Pomacea paludosa #ESA2018 good 2 reconnect w Phil Darby! Cool controls of non-predators! #network #imissthistypeofecology
.@danjbecker: Global (bat) viral surveillance is really biased! Missing large swaths of South America and Africa. Also prevalance measures strongly correlated with sampling design, so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ? #ESA2018 #INS30
.@GiovanniStrona, in (via video! A weird zombie video!), argues human choices are a much larger determinant of disease emergence that natural processes. #ESA2018 #INS30
.@CJEMetcalf sells integral projection models for disease modeling: flexible, continuous, well suited for data integration, and "charming" #ESA2018
McGill: % cover and continuous data are high on the priority list for this package, forthcoming! #ESA2018
#ESA2018 McGill: Check out this GitHub page with a package that does all of this, and data that you can use to replicate the graphs from the forthcoming paper:
McGill: Most people quantify changes in richness across treatments and stop there. This ignores scale effects, abundance impacts, evenness changes, and other interesting patterns. Multidimensional perspectives are much more interesting and meaningful. #ESA2018
McGill: Another issue: different metrics of biodiversity don’t correlate nearly as well as people say they do. (See a forthcoming Ecology Letters paper that covers this.) #ESA2018
McGill: S is lousy— it’s scale-dependent and requires context. If I say “there were 15 cars yesterday,” what does that mean? That’s a lot parked at one house, not a lot for the LA freeway. #ESA2018
McGill: Popular understanding of biodiversity is an image like this: emotional, interconnected, nature. Scientists operationalized this term to mean “S,” species richness. #ESA2018
My @UMaine colleague, Brian McGill: “Why we need to unpack “biodiversity,” and how to unpack it. #ESA2018
Follow @TrophicCascader for more about this cool work! Also, the bugs eating the aphids were 🐞. No idea what the mechanism was—vibration shaking the plants? #ESA2018
Barton: Did you know science writers are here at #ESA2018? Did you know you can contact them with cool ideas? Did you know you can write your own articles? Publishing in an open access journal also helped get the word out!
Brandon Barton: AC/DC indirectly reduces plant biomass! Rock music (noise pollution) played continuously in growth chambers reduced insect predation on aphids; the aphids ate up soybean plants! #ESA2018
#ESA2018 Is it just me or are there a lot of talk cancellations this year?
Victoria Aznar eases linear assumptions in Ross-McDonald models. When host and vector densities are co-dependent, (e.g., mosquitos in containers in cities) it really changes force of infection predictions! And explains dengue distributions in Delhi. cc @parasiteecology #ESA2018
Follow @KD_Burke for more on this analysis in the future! #ESA2018
Burke: Over the last 21,000 years, North America has seen a higher climatic novelty than Europe, on average. #ESA2018
