Hey, check out my first, first-authored publication in Ecology and Evolution! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

I've updated my research blog with a plain language version of my last paper. Check it out if you are curious to know how we developed pre-visual detection of drought and oak wilt disease in oaks using light! gerardsapes.wixsite.com/plantscience/s…

Monitoring urban trees across the world. Report from the Urban Trees Ecophysiology Network (UTEN) inaugural workshop Mantova et al. 📖 ow.ly/zi5X50QGI6O

⬇️ The deadline to be considered for an oral presentation is only 1 week away! Join us on June 8th and 9th in Portland, Maine, for a fun time exchanging about plant resilience to stress! 🍃🌲🌱

What a cool way to use spectra to infer physiology. Check it out!

I'm happy to share our first paper from HYPERPHYS. Spectral ecophysiology: hyperspectral pressure–volume curves to estimate leaf turgor loss. Thanks to Dr. William Hammond, Alina Zare, Grace John, Gerard Sapes, Alston Lippert, & Nicole Mallen. #plantscience nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

🚨 🐊 🚨 new gator grad alert 🚨 🐊 🚨 Emily Perry has accepted an offer to begin an Interdisciplinary Ecology PhD in my lab at FLORIDA this fall. Emily joined the lab as an undergraduate on our PINE-PHYS project, & I’m eager to see what she will teach us in the coming years!

I sure enjoyed looking up at the eclipse with my lab today at FLORIDA! Slowing down to enjoy moments like this together makes the #PhysFam a special place to be.

Since I left Colombia 7 years ago I have felt the disadvantage of being a F1 student many times. Excited about funding opportunities? Sorry, only citizens qualify! Planning to attend conferences? Visa hurdles! Interested in advocating for social issues? Deportation risks loom!

🌳 Monitoring urban #trees across the world. Meeting report from the Urban Trees Ecophysiology Network inaugural workshop, Georgia Center at the University of Georgia, Athens, USA, March 2023, by Dr. Marylou Mantova, et al. 👇 📖 ow.ly/C9nY50RziZ8 #LatestIssue The Urban Tree Ecophysiology Network (UTEN)

Next week I'll be sharing some of my work from Florida about seagrass, stingrays, shrimps and passive restoration techniques 🌱🦐🌱 Join us on the 15th of May by registering with the link below! 😊

And if the hospital says insurance is legally bound to pay but insurance says no, you get sent to collections! :)

Can plant spectral reflectance be used to predict soil water potentials under drought? It depends on whether plants remain hydraulically connected to the soil or not. Awesome work from Yangyang Song and the team!

My favorite peanut physiologist Laura and I have finally begun our peanut drought collab! 🥜 ☀️ Day 1: we finished cavicam setup and installed all the leaf psychrometers.

We develop a new, generalized optimality theory of stomatal conductance by incorporating the non-steady-state physics of water, carbon, and heat within a plant into an effectively instantaneous solution. Congrats Aaron Potkay!! doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70…

A nice thorough and interdisciplinary approach to provide solutions to a big and complex problem: lack of clean drinking water. Congrats Adriana CC 🇵🇸 🍉 ! doi.org/10.1088/1748-9…

Check out our paper on resource allocation in #Colombia's #water and #sanitation sector and how to optimize its impact. With an innovative #geospatial index, we highlight the need for more efficient resource distribution to improve drinking water safety. doi.org/10.1088/1748-9…
