Ok, now that I have an 8 hour delay at the Portland airport, I'm going to bask in the afterglow of #ESA2023 by giving highlights from the 3 sessions on #zoogeochemistry. Interested in challenging ecological paradigms about bottom-up control of ecosystems? Buckle up...

We opened a Mara River biodiversity exhibit at @museumsofkenya back in March. 500k Kenyan kids/yr will hear @AmandaSubalusky and I talk about protecting the Mara. None of this happens w/o our NMK colleagues. Very humbling. Check it out. It's beautiful. @UF_CLAS @UF @UF_Research – at Nairobi, Kenya

UF researchers are using radioactive carbon left behind from nuclear testing to study how sea turtle shells grow 🐢☢️
The technique could reveal new insights into turtles’ diets, migration and environmental stress over time.

Fantastic 🧵 by @ChrisLDutton on 2 recent papers from our lab groups @UF @UFBiology on the role of animals in shaping ecosystem function
Two new papers from our group this month! A collaboration across the @ChrisLDutton & @AmandaSubalusky labs at @UF, Frauendorf lab @colgateuniv, Grupstra lab @FloridaAtlantic, and Post lab @Yale ...on how large wildlife reshape ecosystems 🦛🌊🧵 @UF_CLAS @UFBiology @africa_uf

Uh oh...I think we just lost our telemetry unit at the Mara River, Purungat Bridge on the border between Kenya and Tanzania. Water rose six meters in the last few days, and this was the last pic sent....a few hours ago. 😱

Just over 1 hour left for #GatorNationGivingDay... Help us fund a summer of fieldwork for @UF students through WILDS: givingday.ufl.edu/campaigns/…
What was your most formative experience as an undergrad? For me, it was doing field ecology and discovering a career path I love. Help us give those experiences to other undergrads with #GatorNationGivingDay by making a donation to WILDS: givingday.ufl.edu/campaigns/…

Large gifts are amazing, but today we’re also trying to maximize the number of Gators who raise their hands with any-size gift.

Name a bat 🦇🦇🦇 this #SpookySeason!
🦇 Find out how: affinitygiving.ufl.edu/campa…
@UF is home to one of the world’s largest occupied bat abodes and you can name a UF bat by making a gift to any area on campus (including the bat houses and your favorite museum) before October 31.

Super fun to give the keynote at the American Zoological Association Nutrition Meeting in Oklahoma City! Talked about my lab's work in Kenya, Congo, and with Zoos across the US. A truly great group of passionate, kind people. @UFBiology @UF_CLAS @UF @GlobalGators – at Oklahoma City, OK

The hippo spa! The tilapia that share the pool with our hippos serve multiple purposes. They help to keep the water clean by eating the hippo dung & they eat dead skin off of the hippos to keep them clean & free of micro-organisms. This is referred to as a symbiotic relationship.
