Our department at the University of Guelph is hiring an Assistant / Associate Professor of Aquatic Ecosystems and Global Change -- come join us!! Please apply by January 31 2024! uoguelph.ca/facultyjobs/po… #unicornjob🦄

Hey folks - our 17 year 3400+ finch adaptive landscape paper is out now - and is an Editor's Choice in SSE "The fitness landscape of a community of Darwin’s finches" - led by PhD student Marc-Olivier Beausoleil academic.oup.com/evolut/article…

Just how important is intra-specific diversity for ecosystem functioning? Our paper showing how to figure out is now published in Ecology #OpenAccess "Quantifying interspecific and intraspecific diversity effects on ecosystem functioning" esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Took tiny bit longer to publish than initially expected: "The shape of #density dependence and the relationship between population growth, #intraspecific competition and equilibrium population density" Oikos onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/oi… Big thanks @efronhofer leading it!

Celebrating 🥳 the end of the year with Lili Buche & iBartomeus! Fantastic combination of experimental and modelling work @ASNAmNat showing that multitrophic higher-order interactions (HOIs) of #plants and #pollinators modulate species persistence journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…

Reminder! @ubcforestry and UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems are hiring 2 Black scholars engaged in research related to Food, Forests, and BioFuels as part of a university-wide Black Faculty Cluster Hire Initiative.

As Prof. Priyanga Amarasekare's heartbreaking saga at UCLA drags into another year, I've compiled a thread of articles written about the situation. My sardonic take: Some people didn't like to be accused of racism and decided to destroy her career over their hurt feelings. 1/21
