Broncos vs Raiders - this explains it all. 🧡💙🏈

Moth season is here. These are the types of moths.

I am honored to have my blog featured for #InternationalWomensDay ! 👩‍🔬

The post talks about the last paper from my PhD where we investigated the context-dependency of multiple parasitoid effects

with @nickpardikes, @migoxim & @ParasitoidWebs

[Jeff Legwold @Jeff_Legwold]

It won't deter from Nuggets' general awesome-ness or the Real MVP's work in the series so far (should have been a three-peat for Mr. Jokic) ... so still take a little time for a cool story from @RyanHockensmith who routinely writes really cool stories...

New paper in @PNASNews! We used 25 generations of exp. evol. in copepods under climate change to show that warming and acidification have a complex, synergistic genomic basis and impact on evolutionary rescue.

'These species-specific effects on parasitoid performance have important implications for biological control programs that rarely consider the impact of co-occurring species'

@J_S_Francis @USUAggies @moria_robinson Thanks Jake! Congrats on your new addition and hope to catch up soon. Logan is pretty beautiful and we feel super lucky!

[Nick Pardikes @nickpardikes]

Excited to start a new chapter as @USUAggies! @moria_robinson

[Reid Brennan @reidbrennan]

Position for a PhD student available in my group! The project is focused on on genomics of local adaptation and responses to climate change in copepods across the Baltic. Great working and living env. here in Kiel @GEOMAR_en. Applications due July 28: https://t.co/0Ssa7Env5j

[Reid Brennan @reidbrennan]

The last few days to apply for this phd position in my group! Please apply!

[Cathy Rushworth @Dr_Crushworth]

@QueerEcoEvo My (new!) lab at Utah State University studies the evolution and ecology of plant reproduction, focusing on how plant reproductive strategies impact speciation and adaptation. I’ll be taking students in 2023 and 2024!

|| NEW RESEARCH ||
Effects of phenological mismatch under warming are modified by community context

📰 https://t.co/ginpV67MUG @nickpardikes

[Nick Pardikes @nickpardikes]

Check out our new paper in Global Change Biology! Can effects of phenological mismatch - a common ecological consequence of climate change - be dampened by the biotic community? We address this important question in a tropical host-parasitoid community. https://t.co/e6fCBZ4pH0

[Matt Barbour, PhD @FoodWebEcoEvo]

Really excited about this new collaboration with @GibertLab.

We show that genetic and plastic phenotypic responses to climate change will rewire food webs in predictable ways, with consequences for #ecosystem resilience and #ecoevo dynamics.

I’m recruiting a PhD student for ERC-CZ project on maintenance of genetic variation and species diversity. Join our work on a system ideal for community evolution experiments! See the add https://t.co/WYFmBOcm8V and our website https://t.co/Fav2K7jaY9

Since Peyton Manning announced his retirement, the Broncos are tied with the Football Team for the fewest 30-plus games in the NFL (8).

BUT …

Half of them came last season, and Drew Lock was the starting QB for another game in 2019 (4 in total with him starting). #Progress

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack knows the weight and power of the presidency because he’s lived it. The job requires empathy, discipline, and an understanding of complex issues. @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris are more than ready. They can meet this moment. Let’s do our part: Text VOTE to 30330.

One of the most dominant defenders in #Broncos history.
