Very grateful for a productive week in Frascati with the @ipbes.net Monitoring Assessment group.
Useful synthesis effort led by Anderson Bueno focused on differences between true islands and forest “islands” in a terrestrial mosaic. Matrix matters! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Thanks to @natecoevo.nature.com for publishing this short essay on our Costa Rica hummingbird/heliconia work!
Some solid Forest Landscape Lab time at our research site in the Oregon Cascades! Lucky to have all of these brilliant folks in our group.

Nice article by @jimrobbins.bsky.social in @nytimes.com on one of my favorites - marbled murrelet - and its potential fate given changes to our forests, oceans and the US Endangered Species Act. @coforegonstate.bsky.social 🧪
Long-term data result in more reliable species distribution models. Perhaps expected, but nice to see it quantified formally! Thanks @nico-anselmetto.bsky.social for leading this effort at the HJ Andrews LTER. @uslter.bsky.social 🧪

Science is rarely a linear path from hypotheses to published papers. Here, I tell the story of our many ups and downs during the discovery of pollinator recognition. Hope you enjoy it! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Excited about a new paper led by @gcerullo.bsky.social showing that edge effects on marbled murrelets amplify under poor ocean conditions. The management implication is to reduce edge amount by spatially concentrating logging: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We map key opportunities to boost populations of marbled murrelets by reducing edginess around remaining nesting habitat, and investigate these opportunities' spatial distribution across land ownersh...
