I am deeply sorry to tell you that my UCLA colleague Bob Wayne passed away yesterday after an extended battle with cancer. Bob was a pioneer at using genomic methods to study demography and selection in populations of conservation concern. 1/5

a super talented scientist in lab just left to take a position in industry because there was no mechanism for the University to pay him at a competitive rate despite our best efforts - and funding - to do so. I have no idea how we're supposed to compete.

Oh man, I would how much I would ♥️ to take this class from the incredible @DanielEWinkler!!

Recent paper showing ants are informed about enemy strength and possible rewards in collective contests - yes ant colonies fight, a lot! At least in some species, other ant colonies are likely to be the main danger to fitness after colony founding. With @KennyChapin

[Dr Anna Dornhaus @dornhaus]

& wipe out each other's colonies. Colony-colony contests are thus fitness-critical & a complex but understudied problem. We find here that ants appear to assess both the potential rewards (brood) and the defensive strength (workers) of an opposing colony. https://t.co/qTtviRje6O

[Dr Anna Dornhaus @dornhaus]

Ants, on many counts, have solved life's problems: inbuilt fungicide allows living in rich habitat (leaf litter), effective machinery for reproduction. What remains: fighting each other. Ants commonly not only defend territories but actively steal brood, https://t.co/qTtviRje6O

JOB ALERT: The USGS is hiring! The Southwest Biological Science Center has a Soil Scientist/Ecologist opportunity in Moab for recent graduates. See https://t.co/ZrIpXrzh1P for more information. #USGS_SBSC #drylands #soilscience

[Sasha Reed @ecology_awesome]

Do you love carbon and deserts and modeling and diverse data blending and working with a crazy cool group of smart, fun, and supportive scientists??? Me too!! Come work with us!

#Saguaro cacti are more unique than we knew! This NPS-USGS study is the FIRST to describe their unusual flowering pattern. Blooms emerge in the east & flower asynchronously & counterclockwise—perhaps the only flowering plant to do so. @SaguaroNPS #saguaros https://t.co/0r7K3Hfz9h

[Daniel E. Winkler @DanielEWinkler]

We just published the first study to document a seasonal, counterclockwise pattern of asynchronous flowering in saguaro (or any angiosperm)!
