I am delighted to share the first study of the Energetics Lab with my undergraduate, Korben Moelter, as first author published in the Journal of Comparative Physiology B. A neat comparison of Mammalian Thermoregulation Clines Across North America Using Bergman’s Rule. Check: doi.org/10.1007/s003...

How much and in what ways do animals contribute to elemental cycling in freshwater ecosystems? Find out here in this work led by Jonathan Lopez & Taylor Michael!

New paper out led by Sam Fritz Using meta-analysis we quantify evidence for positive interactions between invasive species in freshwaters and identify key knowledge gaps for the study of freshwater invasion meltdowns. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Identifying knowledge gaps about context dependency in freshwater species invasions
The abiotic template of freshwater ecosystems is being altered by human activity on a global scale, often promoting the establishment of new invasive taxa and increasing the likelihood of facilitatio...

Limno‐STOICH: A comprehensive database linking the elemental stoichiometry of organisms with inland aquatic habitats
All organisms contain carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in widely ranging amounts and proportions. Integrating existing datasets enables quantification of this variation at global scales. Such efforts...

Quite the blizzard here in the UP. Over 3 ft with impressive drifts to boot.

Do ecological thresholds driven by nutrient limitation transfer across biological levels of organization? Our team explores how ecological stoichiometry can help tackle questions like this here! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Nonlinear thinking in ecology and evolution: applying the threshold elemental ratio across levels of ecological organization - Oecologia
Nonlinear dynamics govern ecological processes; thus, understanding thresholds is important for measuring and forecasting the effects of climate change and management of natural resources. However, id...

A study in Nature Climate Change shows that dragonfly species with mating-associated wing ornamentation have disproportionately gone extinct and lost habitat because of climate change and wildfire. go.nature.com/4nvkfDS 🔒
This is figure 1, which shows ornamented dragonfly species have been disproportionately lost from locations with the greatest temperature increase and the most wildfire activity since the 1980s.

Very excited to share this work with S. Collins, Y. Guan, and A. Krist published in @Ecology_Letters ! We find that resource qauntity and quality (as stoich) differentially control stream invertebrate diversity across spatial scale. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
