Super excited to share this new paper in Ecology, where we explore the bioenergetic trade-offs of mammalian trophic interactions and resulting selective pressures on size evolution across the Cenozoic 🦣🐅

Body size constrains trophic interactions, shaping the feasibility of species' populations. Over macroevolutionary timescales, these constraints feed back to shape selection on body size and diet. We...

And with the diverse (gender! color!) Artemis team being international (Canada!), this feels particularly relevant and something to celebrate.
Hmmm - after looking past the cover art, this is my jam. Purchased!
Good to hear the news of LTER's death has been exaggerated!

I've always loved reading about the moon landings (and early NASA missions generally), and I'm thankful/excited to have something in the news that's exciting and that captivates the imagination...
It's also had me thinking that Apollo 8 in '68 and Apollo 11 in '69 occurred during a particularly tumultuous time in the US and around the world, and maybe this moonshot will remind us of the better angels of our nature.
I'm lucky enough to be part of the Sevilleta LTER in New Mexico... I don't know what happens now... there is so much to rebuild once we are able to rebuild. If.
Without knowing anything else about this book, I love the cover art... it's got that '60s Lost in Space vibe
