✨Exactly one week ago, I defended my PhD thesis✨ It has been a long and challenging journey, but also one full of adventures, growth, and friendships that I will carry with me forever. I couldn’t have imagined a better place or a better community to share this stage of my life. 🌍

Our new publication is out in Ecology and Evolution! Five years after powerful hurricanes reshaped Puerto Rico’s forests, we found that moth communities bounced back, showing surprising resilience but continued change as ecosystems recover. 🦋 Check it out!: go.uvm.edu/ztrjy

Moth Communities Reveal High Stability Despite Ongoing Compositional Shifts Over Five Years Following Hurricane Disturbance

We examined the temporal dynamics and ecological stability of tropical forest moth communities using a unique dataset spanning 6 months before and up to 5 years after two extreme hurricanes. While ab....

Honored to share my publication on how rainforest moth communities in Puerto Rico responded to back-to-back hurricanes Irma and María. I began this project eight years ago, and it’s incredibly exciting to finally see it out in the world! 🦋 🔗 go.uvm.edu/waf2l #MothEcology #Biodiversity #PuertoRico
