Well done, Nehal!
Have you noticed the little white buckets with flowers that are placed around the city of Mississauga? UofT Biology student, Nehal, is currently using them to collect data for her research! Check out this thread to learn more!
Meet @NehalN_10 urban biologist extraordinaire and a #PhD student in @eebtoronto@UofT. Nehal is studying how roads and vehicles affect the movement of pollinators and plant reproduction, using @citymississauga as a global model. 1/3
Congrats to @irtaqa_arif who just published her 1st paper: "A meta-analysis of the carcinogenic effects of particulate matter and PAHs". She provides compelling evidence that air pollution elevates cancer incidence and mortality & rates may be increasing https://t.co/dK8MoXWX1X
Congratulations Dr. Sophie Breitbart (@SophieBreitbart), who successfully defended her Ph.D. in @eebtoronto at @UofT yesterday! #urbanevolution is richer because of your work on milkweeds and its insects
Congratulations to @UofT's latest PhD Dr. David Murray-Stoker (@dmurraystoker), who defended his thesis in brilliant fashion today. He got to celebrate signing the legacy wall with his mom looking on proudly. Well done Dr. DMS!
Congratulations to @eebtoronto PhD student @dmurraystoker whose latest paper "Mosaic of local adaptation between white clover and rhizobia along an urbanization gradient" just came out in @JEcology https://t.co/wkSIisArHY
Our latest paper by @eebtoronto
PhD student Ella Martin & undergrad Samer El-Galmady shows that socioeconomic variation across a city (Toronto) unexpectedly alters the ecology & evolution of predator-prey interactions. @drake thanks for letting us use your place! @Ecology_Letters
Check out our new paper in @molecology "Does urbanisation lead to parallel demographic shifts across the world in a cosmopolitan plant?"
Thanks to all the GLUE collaborators we were able to investigate #urban#evolution at a global scale. https://t.co/ZPWZ56Uuwn
