If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em?
Really?
Our new opinion piece in @pnas.org defends that the so-called invasivorism is not an effective management strategy. In most cases, it is not even a strategy

Cool: "In Point Reyes, a National Park Service scientist has made an incredibly rare find."
Michael Reichmuth "photographed a group of newly hatched California giant salamanders in the wild for the first time."

Big effort, exciting results - our paper on the constraints of thermal limits in tropical insects is now out in @nature.com! 🦋🐝🪰🪲🦗

Higher temperatures is forcing irrigation districts to begin irrigating two weeks earlier than normal, putting more pressure of California's #water supplies.

Unusual March heat has led the Fresno Irrigation District to begin water deliveries earlier than planned as farmers prepare for an uncertain season.

Nature research paper: Limited thermal tolerance in tropical insects and its genomic signature
go.nature.com/4ua5R82
A survey of tropical insect populations and thermal tolerance limits indicates that species from lowland areas have low capacity to survive increased temperatures, and that thermal tolerance is limited by fundamental properties of protein architecture.
Here are a few pupfish moments of zen from the newly opened Salt Creek Boardwalk. Literally opened only 3 days ago. We saw thousands of these relicts from pluvial Lake Manly swimming in the salty spring water. They can survive salinities over twice that of seawater and temps from 32F to 100F+!
Thrilled to share that my first dissertation chapter is now published at Ecology! dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecy....
We embed TPCs into population dynamics to show how changing temperatures' ordering — not just its distribution — increases extinction risk (i.e. heatwaves matter!)

Swimming invasive snakes colonize Mediterranean islets by active swimming, then wipe out Endangered endemic lizard populations.

The warm winter has left very little snow in California’s Sierra Nevada, and now an extreme heat wave is accelerating the rapid melt in the mountains.
I spoke with @newshaajami.bsky.social about what warming winters mean for the future of California's water: www.latimes.com/environment/...
#PFAS are widespread in modern society, including in many agricultural settings.
Our new report examines ways to mitigate the impacts of these #ForeverChemicals on human and ecological health and strengthen conservation planning.

Winter has brought California's Sierra Nevada a below-average amount of snow, and the snowpack has been shrinking for weeks.
