Please pass along: I’m recruiting PhD students to join our Macroecology Lab. We study physical ecology, macroecology, and biodiversity — spanning scaling, trait-based ecology, theory, comparative biology & ecoinformatics. Several avenues for funding. Please reach out if interested 🧪🌐🌾

🌳 Why can tropical forests with similar carbon stocks respond differently to climate? Our new Scientific Reports study shows that climate shapes forest structure differently across tropical regions—potentially hiding its effects on carbon when we look at biomass alone. 📄 lnkd.in/euvyTEwU

How long should we measure forest baselines to get carbon credits right? 🌳📏 Our new study in Environmental Research Letters (@IOPPublishing) has the answer. A 10-12 year look-back is the "sweet spot" for accuracy. 📊🧵 (1/5) 🔗 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Americans seem unaware of the double meaning of "Golfo" in Spanish. The less known meaning applies to a person as "rogue" or "scoundrel". Hence, Golfo de America is basically the definition of that orange dude...naming the body of water after himself, not his country.
