Join us at the #SWEEET Symposium on May 14 (1:30-5pm) at #CSEE2026! We're tackling three barriers facing equity-deserving researchers: parenthood, fieldwork access & socioeconomic challenges. Featuring talks by Drs. Courtney Robichaud, Rachel Giles & Diane Srivastava. We hope to see you there!
New to bsky, trying to (re)connect with eco-evo folks. I'm an evolutionary ecologist who studies how rapid evolutionary dynamics shape community and ecosystem processes. My work integrates experimental evolution, population genetics, and community ecology, with an emphasis on biological invasions.
Thanks Megan!!

Aww thanks Rachel 🫶🏻
Awww thanks Joey ♥️
I feel incredibly honored to have been named an ESA Early Career Fellow! Thank you to my massive group of colleagues and friends who have helped to support me in this journey! Cheers to more exciting research in the years ahead!🍄🌲

Do Tribolium castaneum next please!!
📢 New Research Alert!
No organism can be the best at everything—and now we know why. A new study by our own Dr. @jasonlaurich.bsky.social reveals the hidden limits shaping evolution itself: tinyurl.com/yc8j3434

This is such an insightful and beautifully written piece, thank you!
We're hiring a post doc!
Looking for a global change ecologist to work with Jenny McGuire & a multidisciplinary team including me and
@jameststroud.bsky.social on the ecology side of things
please share widely!
This is amazing! 👏
This is terrific. Writing is a way to think; waiting to write until you've worked everything out is counterproductive. On the discomfort of thinking through writing, from @patthomson.bsky.social

Across Canada, 48% of college and university students report struggling with the cost of tuition fees. That’s almost HALF of students.
Federal student grants are on the chopping block. Student support should be increasing, not decreasing.

New paper out today in Ecology, led by amazing undergrad Kayley Breslin! We show how higher temperatures cause faster range expansions in our flour beetle model system, driven by both faster growth rates and increased movement @integrativebiology.bsky.social dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

New paper out today in @royalsocietypublishing.org Biology Letters, led by undergrad superstar Laina Weiss! An experimental test of theory on the effects of temperature and resources on carrying capacity. So proud 🥹 tinyurl.com/yvmzmt9a @integrativebiology.bsky.social

#UofG researchers studying caribou on Fogo Island, Newfoundland, found that female antler growth is occurring weeks earlier than expected, suggesting environmental changes may be affecting the Arctic mammal.
