🌻🌼My study on pollination in the face of climate change is now out in @ecol-evol.bsky.social
🐝We found that range shifting plants lose their pollinators, but might compensate for the loss by self pollinating.

🌿 New paper out!
Leaf damage is not the Answer! Downhill-shifting species don't experience reduced herbivore pressure at the expanding edge.

Map of Europe displaying ~4,000 collection records of the invasive spider Mermessus trilobatus. Grey circles mark records from 1981–2001, black circles records from 2002–2021. Red markers highlight four sampling localities: two core sites in south-west Germany (Landau and Wilgartswiesen, red squares), a mid-range site near Vienna, Austria (red rhombus), and a recent-front site near Horsens, Denmark (red triangle). Latitudinal and longitudinal grid lines and a scale bar illustrate spatial spread over 1,300 km from the original 1981 detection.
Line scatter-plot showing the progressive expansion distance of Mermessus trilobatus in Europe from 1981 to 2021. Each point represents the furthest yearly record from the 1981 introduction site, with red-filled circles marking years when the invasion front advanced. Distances increase from ~150 km in the 1980s to ~1,350 km by 2021. A quadratic red curve fits the maximum distances, illustrating an accelerating, super-linear expansion rate (r² ≈ 0.98). Horizontal and vertical axes denote calendar year and great-circle distance in kilometres, respectively.
Range expansion is speeding up! We mapped 4,000 records: front advanced from 150 km/decade in the 1980s to 400 km/decade after 2010. #Biogeography #RangeShifts #ClimateChange doi.org/10.1111/geb....
🌎 My first paper is out in @globalchangebio.bsky.social ! We propose the Interaction Opportunists Hypothesis: changes in biotic interactions may drive species downhill, equatorward, or to shallower waters under #ClimateChange. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #RangeShifts #Ecology
Late intro to Bluesky- I'm Jake.
I'm a final-year PhD candidate at McGill U studying #ClimateChange, #RangeShifts, and #MarineConservation. Here to connect, chat science, and find an #RStats job post-PhD.
Heres me conducting seasonal subaquatic faunal surveys (read: ice fishing) in QC last month.
Postdoc opportunity w/Solomon Dobrowski and me!
U Montana, in partnership with the NC Climate Adaptation Science Center, is hiring a talented scientist with an interest in climate connectivity and species range shifts among protected areas. $70k/year.

A person standing next to a poster board and smiling, the poster is titled "Populations on the Edge: Range Dynamics and Conservation of Great Crested Newts Under Global Change".
The same poster as the previous photo. The poster outlines my PhD research. You can see more clearly in this photo the illustrated methods section, and an illustrated crested newt in the bottom left hand corner.
Thank you to everyone who came and chatted to me about my poster at the BES Annual Meeting today it was great to see some familiar faces and meet some new folks too #Populations #Genetics #Ecology #RangeShifts #Amphibians #Herps 🐸🧬
Excited to be writing a symposium proposal for @Evol2018! #rangeshifts Deadline June 28: http://evolutionmontpellier2018.org/call-symposia #evolution @ASNAmNat
Thanks to all @NIMBioS staff & participants for a remarkably smooth & productive workshop on #rangeshifts last week! http://www.nimbios.org/workshops/WS_rangeshifts
Enjoying my final hours in #knoxville and writing up #rangeshifts report from @NIMBioS love the Golden Roast coffee
Kicking off @NIMBioS workshop on species #rangeshifts- math models and data. Tune in @ http://nimbios.org
