Our paper showing that metabolic trait variation governs th temperature-microbial species richness relationship is out: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.84662 @eLife Comments n' criticisms welcome!! And if you are at it, you might as well check this out as well: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… :)

Variation in thermal physiology can drive the temperature-dependence of microbial community richness

A novel theory demonstrates how variation in the thermal responses of microbial populations can alter coexistance and thus explain patterns of richness across thermal gradients.

Do you LOVE Thermal Performace Curves? Has your thirst for TPC models not been quenched by rTPC+ nls.multistart (besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…)? Then check this out! nature.com/articles/s41467-0… Thanks to @DGKontopoulos for conceiving and leading this model fitting madness!

rTPC and nls.multstart: A new pipeline to fit thermal performance curves in r

Quantifying thermal performance curves (TPCs) for biological rates has many applications to important problems such as predicting responses of biological systems—from individuals to communities—to...

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology

Our paper on how life history traits constrain the adaptation of arthropods to climatic warming (or cooling!) is out: nature.com/articles/s41559-0… Remember, arthropods (especially insects) are the most abundant animals on planet earth across land and water!

New in @Ecology_Letters w/ @JennSunday and @mioconnor! We find that temperature-dependence of competitive ability (R*) is cold-shifted relative to population growth rates ✨competitive success is highest at temperatures that are sub-optimal for growth✨ doi.org/10.1111/ele.14337
