Thanks @markowenmartin.bsky.social, this was great fun to do, I really enjoyed our chat. Keep up the great work!

I think a lot about how mountain species are responding to warming temperatures
so it was great to team up with @suzetteflantua.bsky.social @kjfeeley.bsky.social Christi McCain & Jenny McGuire to write a review of sp responses to both modern AND Quaternary warming

This is wild. Who are these people?
Summer 2026 field season is here!

There are few researchers for whom an entire field is so clearly distinct before and after their work. The gap between evolutionary biology "before Joe" and "after Joe" is just awesome. It is a measurably different enterprise, and the reach of his influence doesn't end at the phylogeny. Hats off!

Join us on May 27th for the next Funk Biogeography Seminar! Dr. Michael Landis from Washington University in St. Louis will be speaking about the use of phylogenetic models to explore the biogeography of the past.

This exceptional event (in terms of absolute temperature) is also unusual in coinciding with the time that we monitor breeding great and blue tits in Wytham Woods: we're hoping to do some assessment of possible effects fairly soon.

This research was done on western shovel-nosed snakes (Chionactis occipitalis) by Perrin Schiebel & colleagues in Daniel Goldman's physics research lab at UGA.
The goal was to understand the mechanics of how limbless critters move through obstacles.

Itโs a day late, but worth the wait: on this episode of #MattersMicrobial, Dr. Sam Brown chats with the #QualityQuorum about generalists, specialists, and sociomicrobiology. Please spread the #GoodMicrobialWorld. @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology @microbe.tv

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Professor Joe Felsenstein FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. After initially working on population genetics theory of recombination, of migration, and of speciation, his main focus has been on phylogenetic inference. #RSFellows https://royalsociety.org/people/joseph-felsenstein-38106/
Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ยบC with a temperature of 33.7ยบC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.
