Gates Dupont

PhD Candidate in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology with @Andy2Dobson at @Princeton • Community ecology of emerging pathogens

[Gates Dupont @gatesdupont]

I'm eager to stay in touch! The grass seems indeed greener (bluer?) on this other side. Give me a follow!

I'll be posting about my current PhD dissertation work at Princeton 🐅 on biodiversity loss in birds 🦉, also stats, and photos of birds & orchids!

Africa’s low rates of Zika virus outbreaks may be due to a surprising factor: the genetic makeup of local mosquito populations, according to a new study led by @PrincetonEnviro's Dr. Jamie Caldwell. https://t.co/RXDIkEWCSD

[AndyDobson @Andy2Dobson]

Amazing piece of research! Meticulous and mind blowing!

[Will Ratcliff @wc_ratcliff]

New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30

If you missed his killer talk at @AmOrnith #AOS24, Ben Tonelli from the @mwtingley lab just brought out his paper in @Ecology_Letters testing the drivers of migratory #phenology for 222 Nearctic #bird species! Temperature and snowpack are most critical! https://t.co/TmDTxxezmI

@FletcherEcology @Cambridge_Uni @CamZoology @CCI_Cambridge Go Rob!!! So cool. I’m so happy for you!! Would love to get you to visit Princeton sometime 😄🐅

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

New in @sciencemagazine, we show that spatial cognitive ability is associated with longevity in food-caching Mountain Chickadees. And @CognitiveEcol’s photo was selected for the cover! #ScienceResearch. https://t.co/kFGuldkW94

Our lab at Cornell is hiring a postdoc to lead investigations of viral #zoonoses in #Bats and develop strategies for pandemic prevention. Background in #DiseaseEcology, #OneHealth, #EEID, or epidemiology. More details here: https://t.co/51WlOrQu7Z

New bird🐦‍⬛research🚨!
So excited to share our new study in @NatureEcoEvo! In it, we examine shifts in the breeding latitude, elevation, and phenology of North American #birds in relation to #climatechange! The last paper of my @UCLAEEB postdoc with @mwtingley🥲 A🧵...

How it started. How it's going. 

Ten years later, and it's still a good look! https://t.co/NKXRGNgJPv

[Jessie Williamson @jl_williamson]

World’s smallest falcon (22-25 g) and world’s largest hummingbird (~20-26 g). Amazing to see how form matches function. @NMNH

[Ricard Solé @ricard_sole]

Are there universal laws driving complex systems dynamics across scales? What kind of general theory connects fluctuations in microbiomes, rainforests or economic and urban systems? Check this @PNASNews paper by ashish george & @Jp_odwyer @sfiscience https://t.co/1ZBSmzXZli

[Elizabeth le Roux @MegaFaunaMe]

Our new paper just out: https://t.co/EbjgMWR5MR urging caution in overstating potential benefits of animals for carbon sequestration. While benefits exist, we must recognise the uncertainties, limitations of scale and ethical implications
Lead by @DuvallEcology and @EcologyRoo

[Nature Reviews Biodiversity @NatRevBiodiv]

Are you a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher working on any topic in #biodiversity science, including #ecology, #evolution, or #conservation? Is there a scientific paper you love so much that you want to shout about it from the rooftops? Then read on!

[Paulinha Lemos 🙋🏽‍♀️ @lemospaulinha]

How much shared evolutionary history informs the way species interact with each other? Me, Zach and Stefano worked hard to address this question in a creative way! I hope you enjoy the reading! Thrilled to see this out after starting this 5 years ago

[Ben Freeman @BenGFreeman1]

cool paper alert

you're a songbird that breeds in North America. Do you winter in an area that has similar climate to your breeding grounds? or in an area that is easy to get to?
@MariusSomveille and colleagues provide evidence for the latter

Our study is the first to experimentally investigate the independent and combined impacts of bats, birds, and ants on arthropod densities and subsequent herbivory damage across the canopy and understory temperate forest layers. - Elise Sivault
