I'm so excited to hear the conversation between Pheronym's Fatma Kaplan, @cbahlai, Human Terrain Lab, and W.K. Kellogg Biological Station's Alisha Shah about biodiversity science in a changing climate. Join us! Early bird registration & poster submissions open through Feb 19th: canr.msu.edu/ent/events/EIS…

Research shows that even in a static environment, #evolution is a constant dance of adaptation and innovation. Read more with with MSU evolutionary biologist Richard Lenski: eeb.msu.edu/news/changing-…

🚨New paper! We built spatially-varying coefficient occupancy models in spOccupancy to explore spatially-varying species-environment relationships and quantified variation in max temperature effects on grassland birds in the US Zipkin Lab Dr. Sarah Saunders doi.org/10.1007/s13253…

Surprisingly good birding for February with people from EEB at MSU! Pine Siskins were the fan favorite of the day. Pileated Woodpeckers and Fox Sparrows were also good finds. Full list here: ebird.org/checklist/S160…

I'm excited to share that I published a first version of my Statistics 4 Ecologists book with University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. You can now download a (FREE) pdf version of the book here: conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/2…

Congrats, Veronica!!! EEB at MSU

Recruiting postdoc(s) for my lab at Michigan State next year! Come join us careers.msu.edu/en-us/job/5178…

We are excited to share our new Trends in Ecology & Evolution article, where we identify demographic gaps in the authorship of peer review bias research, and touch on some potential solutions to this problem authors.elsevier.com/a/1ikvecZ3X04gL (a🧵)

ISEC 2024 will feature also great roundtable discussions, such as: "Developing pipelines for integrated distribution models" "What are the key statistical methods and concepts all [undergraduate] ecologists should learn?" Join us! #ISEC_2024_Swansea statisticalecology.org

Here are the titles of the ISEC 2024 Plenary Talks - super exciting! #ISEC_2024_Swansea

It’s finally published! “Deep biogeographic barriers explain divergent global vertebrate communities”, published in Nature Communications with @BrodieEcology & Zipkin Lab #biogeography #macroecology doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Check out our new piece on the history of statistical ecology and the role that Ecology has played This was a fun (and challenging!) paper to write - we learned a lot! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Thrilled to share our new paper in Methods in Ecology and Evolution that introduces the spAbundance R package for fitting a variety of single-species and multi-species spatially explicit abundance models! doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

From drones to DNA, ecologists today use tools that would be unrecognizable to scientists 100 yrs ago—and the same is true of their statistics! Announcing "100 Years of Statistical Ecology," a Collection of landmark Ecology papers Read the release: esa.org/blog/2024/05/1…

New paper out now in Ecology! 😍 A multispecies hierarchical model to integrate count and distance-sampling data Multiple species, multiple datasets, and ONE model to bind them! This was a challenging project & I learned a ton esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

PhD Student in Fisheries & Wildlife at Michigan State University Veronica Frans (Veronica Frans) and MSU Faculty member Jianguo “Jack” Liu recently had research published in NatureEcoEvo. EEB at MSU

Thanks to Jana Woerner 🥼🐾 and Mara Hyena Project for an amazing opportunity to learn about the truly awesome hyena research in the Maasai Mara #kenya #safarilife EEB at MSU

Sharing some of the results from earlier collaborations with ⁦Mara Hyena Project⁩ and talking science with the awesome RAs at camp! ⁦EEB at MSU⁩ ⁦MSU College of Natural Science⁩

And one of the youngest RAs hard at work!
