Small mammals create big changes in the forest. Often overlooked, animal personality can be critical, researchers found. https://t.co/9IFGhqvHag

My third dissertation chapter is published!! Here we show that deer calving is an important zoogeochem input AND that the context of subsidy deposition matters - turns out ERM-associated shrubs can mute the impact of inputs on cycling!

Large herbivores slow Arctic tundra diversity losses associated with sea ice decline, a new Science study finds.

The results support the idea that encouraging herbivore diversity in the tundra could temper some of the impacts of climate warming. https://t.co/L5DzKjmkDi

New paper alert! Read up on how tundra herbivores influence canopy structure on carbon flux estimates! https://t.co/omVO0Rzrcp

A great write up on #beavers in the Arctic!

Most folks agree that beavs moving north will cause a lot of changes. Whether that’s “good” or “bad” is complicated. Hard to fault beavs for showing up and using good habitat. Hard to fault people for worrying about permafrost thaw.

Any short-term furnished housing for researchers in the Santa Cruz or Monterey area? Need to send a grad student for #seaotter mite work for a couple months. Maybe at @ucsc @MontereyAq @CalSpillWatch ? @AcademicChatter
