So excited and grateful to share my first-ever publication in Ecology and Evolution with John McCormack and Devon DeRaad! We used museum specimens and iNaturalist photos to assess the Black- and White-throated Magpie-Jay hybrid zone over time: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Pic by Johnie Gall

Eleanor gave me my first con bio job, helped me figure out whether to go to grad school, helped me get into grad school, helped me get through grad school, and was a cherished mentor in my current position. She changed my life. She was the best. Eleanor Sterling rdcu.be/c97js

Just read a fantastic review paper on biophysical models and their promise for predicting species responses to climate change. A must read: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Smaller species are changing faster as temperatures warm! New paper out led by Marketa Zimova, from her time as a postdoc U-M SEAS - cool to integrate Chicago and Amazonian data with help from Vitek Jirinec and co. As always, fun to work with Benita Wingerson pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Amazing paper - provides a model that can explain our finding that diversity is negatively associated with extinction risk in birds. Very cool. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

How do birds fly without getting overheated? They slough off lots of heat from their wings - bird wings are longer in warmer climates for >1500 species. Allen's Rule, likely driven by heat dissipation demand. With Joe Tobias Dr. Catherine Sheard and others onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… U-M SEAS

Happy to share my new article on how morphological diversification proceeds during evolutionary radiations: "The diffused evolutionary dynamics of morphological novelty" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🧵1/12

Excited to share that we have released skeletal trait data for >2,000 species of birds and >14k individuals. Taxonomy is unified to AVONET/birdtree, so hopefully this will be easy to use! Paper can be found here: nature.com/articles/s4159… U-M SEAS
