Cool!
🌿 Postdoc opportunity in plant evolutionary ecology/genetics!
My lab in the Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to start Fall 2026.
We study plant adaptation, using weeds as model systems.

2 PhD & 1 postdoc available at BioM in Oslo
www.uio.no/english/rese... Interdisciplinary methods to model and govern biodiversity under uncertainty. Re-post widely! Work with statistical ecologists Olav Skarpaas (Natural History Museum Oslo @uio.no) @t-ergon.bsky.social
🌐🌎 Conspecific adult trees interact w/microsites to affect forest regeneration across climate-sensitive temperate-to-boreal forest biome transitions as shown by @nathankiel.bsky.social in an insightful analysis of our extensive forest demography data @sunyesf.bsky.social. Link in comments.
Dream indeed!
Good to see that!
Great postdoc opportunity in Sweden!! With the one and only David Wardle 🧪🌐

A quick reminder that the deadline for this exciting postdoc fellowship is due soon. Come work with us! Support for work in biodiversity, ecology, and conservation with applied connections. Contact me or other Lovejoy faculty if you are interested 🧪🌐🌾
network showing more diverse connections over time for editors and reviewers
cover of the paper with title and authors
last paragraph of the abstract: Synthesis and applications. Our results show that editorial diversification is a practical lever for making peer review more inclusive and better aligned with the global distribution of ecological research. These changes make the publication process fairer and improve the quality and global impact of the papers published.
New paper, Great news:
We have been saying for years that making the editorial board more diverse was needed
We now show that diverse team of editors makes for more diverse reviewers
More Inclusive=Better Science
Things are getting better on this❤️

Biological Invasions
This study from 'Biological Invasions' shows invasive non-native plants indirectly destabilise riverbanks by suppressing native vegetation, increasing bare ground, and reducing winter shear strength by around 30%. bit.ly/4qJilB3 @zarahpattison.bsky.social @drchrishackney.bsky.social #bioinvasions
Existing open-access river barrier databases fall far short for fisheries and biodiversity management needs in south Asian transboundary rivers. Read our latest paper in Hydrobiologia...

Our new paper is out in Hydrobiologia 🎉 We show that widely used open-access river barrier databases miss most small but ecologically important barriers in South Asian transboundary rivers!
