Postdocs! Have you published a paper since Jan 2023?! If so, apply to ESA's plant population ecology postdoc award by June 3! https://t.co/U2U50QpjvA @ESA_org @PlantPopEco_ESA

Evolutionary ecologist John Powers @icyjava and a group of colleagues from UC Irvine were here this week to meet on the phylogenomics of schiedea. On one of their brakes they ran into this howling coyote on a rock at the Reserve. John had his camera and took this great shot.

Our new paper on stressing out scarlet gilia with more climate change is out. Thanks to all who leaned into this project and into the warming chambers!

[Annals of Botany @annbot]

🌼🌡️Exciting news! The newly published paper ‘Effects of experimental warming on floral scent, display, and rewards in two subalpine herbs’ in @annbot by @Carrie_A_Wu and co-authors is now #free for a limited time. (1/8)

@talonDNA And a while back I saw a merlin catch a hummingbird at the end of it's J dive! He did not see the hawk coming. https://t.co/Pak0G0Ki1i

@talonDNA Just saw a sharpie/coop buzz a couple potentially fighting male hummers! https://t.co/ysOD0Mx9YO

Next WEDNESDAY soon to be Dr. Evelyn is giving us a tour de force on how with a little help from our friends/microbes, you too can beat the heat, grow good roots, and touch the sky.
DM @wardofplants to say congrats, get the link, and tune in on a zoom station near you!

[Jocelyn Navarro @jocelynavarrro]

First first-author paper titled “Phenotypic plasticity and selection on leaf traits in response to snowmelt timing and summer precipitation” was just accepted!!! I’m beyond happy and thankful for all the feedback and help! Celebrating w/ @icyjava and @ayakapaull (co-authors)

If plants want their seeds to succeed, they have to get creative.

In a @Trends_Ecol_Evo paper, researchers in the lab of @WhiteheadLabVT reveal the various chemicals that plants use to entice (or repel) their wild animal seed dispersers. 🌱🦇 @VT_Science

Is leaf litter your favorite soil horizon? Have you recently pondered global biogeographic trends in microbial diversity? Do you wonder how far is far enough? @KendraEWalters is defending her @UCIEEB thesis so you can find out! DM her for the zoom url, it's Friday 8/6 at 10am PT.

Have you seen me? In California? We are desperately trying to sample 150 populations of these beauties (Azolla) as part of the California Conservation Genomics Project, and the drought isn't doing us favors. If you might be able to help, DM me. pls RT thankyouthankyouthankyou
