New paper out in Urban Ecosystems led by lab alum @megroselli! Megan studied role of #Birds in carrying #Ticks across an #Urbanization gradient, found high % of birds w/ ticks (24%!) & changes in tick infestation across gradient #UrbanEcology #Ornithology

@Seiurus They really have no business being that photogenic

@Seiurus wow that's cool

We have a new co-authored @CDC_EIDjournal paper on prevalence of Rickettsia in Oklahoma ticks.

Led by Bruce Noden (@okstate_epp) & w/ @megroselli, we found high Rickettsia prevalence & some of 1st regional records of R parkeri (agent of spotted fevers)

"I started keeping track of window-killed birds in 1993. One day I stumbled (almost literally) across five collision victims along one façade of a single building in a corporate office park." Don't miss the first AOS blog post of 2020! #ornithology

@megroselli @coreysriding In new J of Medical Entomology paper @megroselli found many studies don't report where on birds tick searches occur & that not searching whole bird misses large % of ticks https://t.co/xpsqXONaUr

Megan led this neat side-collaboration w/ #NREM grad students @siren_la, @Sam_Cady1

But not where fish can find refuge from warming in colder deeper water.

@megroselli @andyroyle_pwrc Wow--dream job! Maybe if I really buckle down I can squeeze the remaining 2.5 years of my PhD into a few weeks . . . 🙃

@Seiurus 😳

[Megan Roselli @megroselli]

MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED!! I’m going to be a published scientist y’all!

I’m especially thankful for this paper b/c I was able to collaborate with 2 amazing women in my dept, @siren_la & @Sam_Cady1! Thanks to my advisors @LossLabOSU and Bruce Noden for supporting my side project!

This year, like 2017, California has had an unusually hot & dry fire season. Most of the largest and most destructive wildfires in CA history have happened under such conditions. Climate change is making this situation worse.

@Seiurus that's exactly right

[Samantha Cady @Sam_Cady1]

@Seiurus @sara_loss Agree bigtime!

As a sassy birder™️ I will die on this hill: let people call birds whatever they please as long as they aren’t hurting them! Correcting folks comes across as super obnoxious and dismissive. Team Seagull/Canadian Goose forever!!

@Seiurus @LossLabOSU Could you put this in the freezer and save it for me in three years? What an awesome post doc opportunity!
