Weecology is hiring a postdoc to work with my long-term, large-scale Everglades wading bird project. We have data on nest effort at multiple spatial scales over 30+ years for multiple species. We also do fun stuff w/ drones. Sound interesting? See our ad! jabberwocky.weecology.org/2026/04/15/p...
The American Naturalist classic cover
Murray et al. show that the fast-slow continuum of life history variation emerges as a contour of highest fitness in the face of catastrophic demographic disturbances, which rivals some classic hypotheses.

Ah the early 80’s war between experimental and comparative ecologists!
It led to this gem by Jared Diamond on the four types of experiments in ecology: lab, field, time series, geo-comparisons.
I started every Community Ecology class with it.
Highly relevant…again.

Happy to see our antifragility paper published! With @jonaswickman.bsky.social and @chrisklausmeier.bsky.social.
When I was young I thought true love was Romeo and Juliet. Now that I’m wiser, i know true love is someone scrubbing the toilets when you’re out of town because they know it will make you happy
"Planning to run a workshop under air raids and blackouts required us to think of many things not covered by The Carpentries Handbook."

I’ve bought mine!
They just don’t get it - they’re trying to replace the part of our job we like the *most*.
If they could make an AI tool to vibe-complete travel, reimbursement, and annual reporting paperwork they would make a fucking FORTUNE
Thanks, @lfhuenneke.bsky.social . Portal continues to teach a masterclass in the unexpected. I just wish writing about the rodents struggling to survive in unprecedented conditions was a little less on the nose.
I don't know who needs a break from the world to read about desert rodents, but I definitely needed a break from the world to write it. Nearly a year has passed, but here's an update on the unprecedented events over the past year at the Portal Project.
I'd like to note that none of these cost $$$
Oooo, I’m looking forward to reading this!
"Sure Googlers [also faculty] had been willing to pull long hours, putting work before personal life and health, in order to realize the company's [university's] mission, but the quid pro quo those workers expected was for the company [university] to take that mission as seriously as they did."
I’ve wondered if it thinks we’ve misspelled “species”? And it should be specy? It’s the closest I’ve gotten
Omg your supposed to apply for that? No wonder I’m not in the academy! We can join together 🤣
I just looked at mine. I also apparently study “specy”
Poster announcing the workshop.
Join us for an @smtpb.bsky.social workshop on Modern Coexistence Theory. We'll cover mathematical foundations, the theory of partitioning, and data-based applications. Featuring @swatipatel.bsky.social, Nick Kortessis, & Lauren Shoemaker. Zoom link here: smtpb.org/event-6426026
Still think this was one of the best power moves of all time

ooof this feels like most every university rn
Dreamt I was locked inside a ‘One flew over the cuckoo’s nest’ mental hospital that was on fire and I couldn’t escape. Funny how brains create dreams unrelated to reality…oh wait…
An excited looking bespectacled bearded person holding a tin that says: Miracle Max’s Chocolate Elixir. Ingredients: fair trade roasted cacao nibs, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, Sasparilla (all organic)
It’s finally cooling off here and it’s been a long week, so definitely time for a pot of @sagenatural.bsky.social’s Miracle Max’s Chocolate Elixir
Trying to process a meeting where I feel like leadership basically said: “our ship has been boarded by pirates but other ships are sinking so this is pretty good”
PSA: It’s natural to crave control during unprecedented times. If rearranging deck chairs brings you calm, that’s fine, but please make sure you’re not forcing other people to rearrange deck chairs when they need to be bailing out the ship or helping people into life rafts.

Returned from a trip to the field. Made me appreciate the finer things in life…like no internet! Seriously, go touch some dirt. It’ll (probably) be good for you.
