Exciting work published in Ecosphere predicting WNV vectors across landscapes using #jSDM. Led by Amy Bauer, Ph.D. with Manatee County Mosquito Control, Shelley A. Whitehead, PhD, MPH, robgural, Narayani Barve, and @juliemallen esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

after a couple years w/o a website, finally have a new one: gurlab.net Florida Museum

Paper on mega-genus Astragalus is officially out! We focused on biogeographic problems in the arid North Hemisphere. A broader point of interest is the large-scale study of plant edaphic ecology, something I hope there is more of in the future. doi.org/10.1002/ajb2.1…

Tree diversity is often a top consideration for conservation officials. Researchers lay out a simple way to ID the most diverse & productive forest in the eastern U.S. Study PNASNews: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… Story: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/seeing… Soltis Lab @UF robgural yunpeng liu

Cities have a heat problem which can have disastrous consequences for those trapped inside. A new study looks at moths, taking into account their complex life cycle, and how they fare in human-developed environments. Study doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17… Story floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/moths-… 📉

Our lab is moving to the EEB department at the University of Arizona University of Arizona EEB this fall. We are excited about the move but also sad to say goodbye to so many great colleagues and friends here at LSU! We for sure will remember and appreciate this incredible journey here.

Doug Jones receives distinguished service award from American Alliance of Museums! 👏👏👏🎉 He has served as director of the Florida Museum of Natural History since 1997, the longest tenure of any director at a major natural history museum in the U.S. floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/doug-j…

Welcome Jonathan Nations, our new curator of mammals! Like many scientists, the path from curiosity to profession was a winding journey—one filled with marmots, voles, shrews and rats. 🐀 More about Jonathan: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/new-fa…

New Exhibit 🐛 In collab. with UF/IFAS Entomology & Nematology 🐜🐜🐜 Science Up Close: Incredible Insects All about insects & entomology! The live lab will feature some amazing #UFBugs scientists during the exhibit's run. Check our schedule for featured labs! 🪲 Exhibit info: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/exhibits/incre…

The "NitFix" paper is finally out! Check out the latest and greatest phylogenetic hypothesis in the nitrogen-fixing clade (NFC), and how it suggests a complex homology behind symbiotic traits. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Congratulations to @timrobertson100 appointed new GBIF deputy director. With all succesful outreach done over the last years it is great to have Tim with his expertise to steer through the challenging AI times, and making use of the wealth of GBIF @biodiversity.social/@gbif data. gbif.org/news/1kGaqh7vd…

We can annotate plant phenology for observations on iNaturalist. Super excited to see this! inaturalist.org/blog/96054-ena…

Glad to have these changes out so that we can make iNaturalist data even more useful for studying plant phenology!

Thanks AZPM this was such a fun piece to do with you! How plants and animals are responding to climate change - AZPM originals.azpm.org/p/radio-azscie… #phenology

So excited about this work to build out global scale phenology data resources using both machine learning and semantic reasoning: PhenoVision: A framework for automating and delivering research-ready plant phenology data from field images biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great paper by the awesome Dr. Pablo Moreno García (He/Him) and Daijiang Li among many others science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share this brand-new #phenology pub with the wonderful Rob Guralnick, Lindsay Campbell, and Erin Grady! The framework offers utility for predicting phenological sensitivity and responsiveness in temperate regions and across plant species. nature.com/articles/s4324…

Excited about this work led by Alexandra Fredston and Morgan Tingley *find me on BlueSky* ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie… that I think can help reshape how we think about species redistribution under global change

In Nature Climate Change NatureClimate, we show that Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) have strong but different effects on plant and insect phenology. nature.com/articles/s4155… rdcu.be/eaLMu
