Thanks to @KatherineJWu from @TheAtlantic for such an amazing piece 🥺🥳about our work regarding who might be responsible for Zamia pseudoparasitica seed dispersal. Love it!

Zamia pseudoparasitica seeds are too heavy to drift through the wind. But they desperately want to take root in the forest canopy. @KatherineJWu reports on the tricky animal accomplices that might help them get there.

Our paper has been published! My student is the first author. This paper is based on his bachelor's thesis. Soooo proud.....
This paper is on #cycad phenology. We analyzed phenological data of #Zamia loddigesii, a cycad species with broad distribution. https://t.co/ZloAB4dWNN

Land use change can affect both species diversity and evolution within species🌍🐿️

We find that evolutionary response to land use change can be masked in the field by phenotypic plasticity, revealing hidden adaptation to global change👇️

🌱Ignoring spatial heterogeneity biases estimates of competition & leads to incorrect predictions of competitive exclusion instead of species coexistence.

This year, researchers finally put a face to one of our long-lost relatives—confirming with DNA evidence that a 146,000-year-old skull known as the “Dragon Man” belonged to a Denisovan, an extinct lineage of humans that, like the Neanderthals, once shared the planet with modern humans.

🌿 Ecosystems are more than landscapes — they’re essential units of biodiversity that require careful, informed decision-making.

A new issue brief from the BEFoRE (Benefits from Restoration) project underscores the importance of understanding which ecosystems are present at a project site, along with their condition and risk status.
