Twidwell Lab

We focus on transdisciplinary research in applied ecology with emphasis on how fire, climatic variability, and anthropogenic change drive state-transitions.

Several members of the @TwidwellLab will be attending tonight's Heuermann lecture by Dr. Elena Bennett. We are excited to have her in Lincoln and encourage you to attend in person or watch via live webcast. #hlseries @ElenaBennett

[Heuermann Lectures @HeuermannSeries]

We are thrilled to have Dr. Elena Bennett as tonight's speaker. Join us @NIC_Innovates at 7 pm. Hope to see you there.

Check out this new publication from members of the Twidwell Lab detailing how vital mixed-severity fire is to the legacies of ponderosa pine savannas.

[Nebraska NRT @NebraskaNRT]

Big news! #NE_NRT director Craig Allen, @unlagrohort professor Andrea Basche and Micheal Forsberg, PBT co-founder, will be delivering the Heuermann Lecture, "Nebraska: An Ecosystem in Harmony," November 25.

No longer with his head in the dirt. Congratulations to Cody Dreier #NECFWRU 2018 M.S. grad on his new position as Biologist I at @NEGameandParks working with pollinators. 🐝🦋

@TrashBirdEcol is our @TwidwellLab highlight this week! She is soon to leave us for bigger and better things as an ecologist at the USGS in Denver! 😁

Check out Jessica's bio (by @RichterRyerson) and see all the great things she has accomplished during her PhD at @UNLSNR

[Twidwell Lab @TwidwellLab]

Congratulations, Dr. Burnett!

[Nathan Meier @nlmeier76]

This is wonderful news. Congrats to the @TwidwellLab and colleagues. Great to see the collaborative #EPSCoR bond strengthened between Nebraska and Montana!

[Twidwell Lab @TwidwellLab]

Continuing our @TwidwellLab member features, @ALudwig7 is working with the American Burying Beetle, an #endangeredspecies in #Nebraska! She is researching their response to tree invasion of grasslands and #fire.

@UNLSNR @unlagrohort

[Alison Ludwig @ALudwig7]

I assisted Nebraska Game and Parks Commission this week with the annual surveys for the endangered American burying beetle. We had a great time looking for these amazing beetles in the Loess Canyons!

@DonovanTori, a @TwidwellLab member, studies how ecosystem processes like fire shape system function and resilience. Her research extends across many systems/scales--from eastern ponderosa pine forests to the entire western USA. Check out her work https://t.co/9jmPguMKD5

[Twidwell Lab @TwidwellLab]

Twidwell lab members @DonovanTori, @dillon_fogarty, @CB1920, and Daniel Uden got a grant to attend @SESYNC in Annapolis, MD where they're designing a case study for teaching socio-environmental synthesis! Way to go!

[Twidwell Lab @TwidwellLab]

@NatureClimate paper by @calebproberts, Dirac Twidwell, and others made local #Nebraska TV news! The @TwidwellLab is proud to research topics important to Nebraska and the #GreatPlains.

In case you wondered what is the software related to @TrashBirdEcol research, check out a list in this image.

It was wonderful getting some beef cattle and ranching time today in the Bighorns. Nothing like a great set of cows and calves in grass up to their bellies managed with land conservation and stewardship. #CowsRLife #Beef #Sustainability

[Twidwell Lab @TwidwellLab]

@TwidwellLab members @dillon_fogarty, @ALudwig7, @CB1920 did a fieldwork blitz in the Loess Canyons of #Nebraska! They're working with ranchers to understand how #fire restores grasslands.

Hint: 🔥 kills trees and encourages grass 😉

Research from Nebraska shows that climate change is partly to blame for US ecosystems shifting hundreds of miles north based on analysis of nearly 50 years worth of data. Read more ›› https://t.co/zdXdCKoKwf #UNL
