The first publication to "use us" shows that plant species with short generation time will have a rougher ride with climate change... work led by @AldoCompagnoni as part of the @idiv -supported sAPROPOS working group - nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Herbaceous perennial plants with short generation time have stronger responses to climate anomalies...

Pop ecologists, @MadrinaDB has been merged with @PadrinoDB - follow @padrinoDB 4 all ur animal & plant IPM needs... database goes open-access later this yr... stay tuned for 100s of IPMs@ @BritishEcolSoc @ESA_org @SamLevin5 @AldoCompagnoni @TomosPotter @tif_knight @dylan_childs

And here is our new Nature Communications article! Life history does have a role in the climate sensitivity of perennial plants!

While the authors used challenging methods and made some novel discoveries this reviewer is still concerned that the manuscript contains significant gaps and it is unclear how they reached their conclusions xitter.cf/TheoShantonas/status/1…

Phylogenetic and functional distinctiveness explain alien plant population responses to competition | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences royalsocietypublishing.org/d… Very excited to wrap up this project w @tif_knight and @ecologyonfire

Phylogenetic and functional distinctiveness explain alien plant population responses to competition

Abstract. Several invasion hypotheses predict a positive association between phylogenetic and functional distinctiveness of aliens and their performance, l

We show experimentally that alien plant species that are more distinct from their local communities experience less competition. We had a lot of help from the brilliant students at @WashUTyson and @a_beth10.

Through centuries of persecution, exile and struggle, the story of Passover has reminded the Jewish people––and all of humanity––of the power to overcome even the greatest of odds. Michelle and I send our warmest wishes to those celebrating with loved ones at home or virtually.

Need a distraction from Covid? We did too. Play with the ⁦@phishnet⁩ + ⁦@phish_in⁩ API wrappers that ⁦@Mayacelium⁩ and I wrote for #rstats instead 🕺🐠 still very much a work in progress, but hope to have vignettes and full docs soon! phish.net/blog/1585610155/ph…

New to data analysis/programming? Check out this super cool #rstats teaching tool (and dataset 🕺🐠) from @Mayacelium!
Maya Gans@Mayacelium16 Feb 2020
I had the honor to speak about #TidyBlocks at #rstudioconf and got to use my favorite dataset [...it's #Phish] In conclusion: NEVER MISS A SUNDAY SHOW! 😝 resources.rstudio.com/rstudi… Want to play with @phishnet data in R? Checkout our [CC: @SamLevin5] package phishr on github!

Just as a casual reminder, Iranian American Citizens are American Citizens. In case that's not a good enough reason to care: if this is okay for them, it will at some point be okay for the kind of American citizen you are. #NeverAgainIsNow
