Identifying knowledge gaps about context dependency in freshwater species invasions The abiotic template of freshwater ecosystems is being altered by human activity on a global scale, often promoting the establishment of new invasive taxa and increasing the likelihood of facilitatio...

New paper out led by Sam Fritz

Using meta-analysis we quantify evidence for positive interactions between invasive species in freshwaters and identify key knowledge gaps for the study of freshwater invasion meltdowns.

Limno‐STOICH: A comprehensive database linking the elemental stoichiometry of organisms with inland aquatic habitats All organisms contain carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in widely ranging amounts and proportions. Integrating existing datasets enables quantification of this variation at global scales. Such efforts...

Limno‐STOICH: A comprehensive database linking the elemental stoichiometry of organisms with inland aquatic habitats.

Grateful to have been part of this large effort!

Quite the blizzard here in the UP. Over 3 ft with impressive drifts to boot.

Nonlinear thinking in ecology and evolution: applying the threshold elemental ratio across levels of ecological organization - Oecologia Nonlinear dynamics govern ecological processes; thus, understanding thresholds is important for measuring and forecasting the effects of climate change and management of natural resources. However, id...

Do ecological thresholds driven by nutrient limitation transfer across biological levels of organization?

Our team explores how ecological stoichiometry can help tackle questions like this here!

This is figure 1, which shows ornamented dragonfly species have been disproportionately lost from locations with the greatest temperature increase and the most wildfire activity since the 1980s.

A study in Nature Climate Change shows that dragonfly species with mating-associated wing ornamentation have disproportionately gone extinct and lost habitat because of climate change and wildfire. go.nature.com/4nvkfDS 🔒

Thank you Tom!

If you're thinking about a MS in freshwater ecology, go work with @bbtumolo.bsky.social. Cannot recommend highly enough

Thank you so much Mike!!

Thank you Marc! How steep? ;)

The Upper Peninsula and Marquette is truly a special place with fantastic access to loads of streams and lakes (including the big one) along with an excellent research network. I am very excited to start my lab here!

Big News! 🚨 I will be starting as an Assistant Professor at Northern Michigan University in the Dept. of Biology this Fall @bionmu.bsky.social

If you are interested in doing an MS (or postdoc) in freshwater ecology, community ecol, how aquatic ecosystems respond to global change please reach out!

Very excited to begin a position at Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Berlin!

Very excited to share this work with S. Collins, Y. Guan, and A. Krist published in @Ecology_Letters ! We find that resource qauntity and quality (as stoich) differentially control stream invertebrate diversity across spatial scale.
