Our RANGES #digitization network is meeting this week to talk digitizing #traits of #mammals from western North America.

Hi from Salt Lake and the @NHMU!

#rangesnetwork

[Bryan McLean @sousliks]

Really proud of this new work out of my lab! It grew out of a graduate course @UNCG and tackles the huge opportunities (and challenges) of bridging inter- and intra-specific #trait #data

[ESA-SEEDS @ESA_SEEDS]

Would you start a community that supports undergraduate students interested in #ecology at your institution? With support to develop activities! Find our more about our SEEDS Chapters - Start one today!

Hi #biodiversity community:

Im thrilled to officially announce RANGES, an @NSF-funded effort to digitize #traits from #mammal #specimens from across western North America.

RANGES will open millions of phenotypic, reproductive, and ecological data for research and training.

"Traits that distinguish dominant species across aridity gradients differ from those that respond to soil moisture"

One of the first projects I worked on in grad school is now published! Check it out here: https://t.co/dHBVZZSE7C

Winter shrew crew!!

Fun collaboration btw @bio_uncg and @GaSouthernBiol to understand seasonal energetics and parasite loads in shrews of the Southern Appalachians

[Bryan McLean @sousliks]

Excited to share new work on breeding #phenology of #Peromyscus!

We used ~25K observations from wild mice to study phenology, cues, and sex-specific diffs in both.

5th yr of grazing management for drought resilience project! Lab was a flurry with forage digestibility assays. 🐮 rumen sample 🌾🦠(smelly) collected, filtered,,,! Enables direct measure of drought and grazer effects on forage energy!

There’s still time to apply for our $500 research grant!

Grant Application: https://t.co/385eAgh3jt

Deadline: Feb. 1, 2023 by 11:59 PM ET.

Please note, we are not currently set up to accommodate international students, but we look forward to doing so in the near future!

I hope folks realize that if the CDC is (finally) explicitly recommending wearing masks in areas of high transmission (…”or if you choose” - we’ll deal with that another time) it means they are especially worried about this XBB1.5 variant and you should be too.

[Field Inclusive @FieldInclusive]

It’s almost time for #FieldInclusiveWeek! 🥳 Check out our lineup of amazing panelists & speakers! Register at https://t.co/9vO0xg9X3z. All events are VIRTUAL & FREE! Can’t make an event? We’ll record & post each one to our Youtube channel, so be sure to follow us there!

[Felix “Javi” Berrios @FelixJBerrios]

I have a list of some Ecology and Evolutionary Biology REU/other internships for undergraduates for this upcoming summer feel free to share with other students

Faculty annual reporting reminder hit my email at 7am, day after Christmas.

Who automates these emails and why don't they ever read studies of faculty morale?
