These light-level dataloggers provided novel insight into basking behavior with minimal interference on our part.

I'm incredibly excited that this collaboration with my good friend, and former lab mate, Josh Otten has finally made it into the world!

We also observed an overall downward trend in aerial basking as water temperatures increased throughout the summer leading into fall hibernation.

Help my buddy, Dr. Tim Clay, fund some of his awesome research in south Louisiana!

My buddy Josh had the chance to talk about some of his dissertation work in MI on the local news. And be on the look out for our work in this system exploring basking behavior coming (hopefully) later this year!

I had a blast working on this project with a great group of collaborators, and I can't wait to see folks implement these methods!

✨New preprint! We report that nearly half of the variation in research effort on 293 bird species in the US+Canada is explained by just 3 factors: 1) visual appeal, 2) breeding range size, & 3) # of universities w/in that range. Here’s what we did:🧵

I’m really excited to be heading home to join the biology faculty at University of Arkansas at Little Rock as an Assistant Professor of Ecology in Spring 2024! I’ll be tackling some new questions in old systems and continuing my research here in Florida.

I wrote up a post for @AnoleAnnals about how our new paper in @JZoology came to be. Go check it out!

In 2010, hundreds of #turtles on the Kalamazoo River in MI were captured, rehabilitated and translocated after an oil spill. Researchers returned a decade later to determine whether the turtles they moved returned to their original capture location. https://t.co/5jYKJsJo6Y

I've got a new paper in @JZoology up online now coauthored with @coxevolab, @gripshover_n and a great group of FIU undergraduate students looking at behavioral interactions between introduced anoles on campus. Check it out now!!
