- “We cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.” IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors. — @davidobura.bsky.social , @ipbes.net Chair

- I am glad to share insights on what we have learned from the global set of forest biodiversity experiments over the last three decades in this new review paper first-authored by my wonderful colleague, Xiaojuan Liu, from the BEF China experiment www.nature.com/articles/s44...
- My first time in the Atlantic Forest—Parque das Neblinas—in Brazil before heading to #COP30. I saw these incredible Tangará birds (wire-tailed manakins) in the midst of their mating dance. Apparently the male birds cooperate in a hierarchy of sorts to attract the female. Enjoy!

- What is spectral biology? We explain in this synthesis article on “Spectral biology across scales in changing environments” esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/R6QXPK www.spectralbiology.org
- I am very happy to share this paper that provides the conceptual synthesis for our forthcoming special feature in Ecology on spectral biology and the NSF ASCEND Biology Integration Institute (Advancing Spectral biology in Changing Environments..) esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/R6QXPK...

- Reposted by Jeannine Cavender-BaresFun week @idiv-research.bsky.social attending the 1st meeting of sTREND working group on synthesis of tree traits responses to neighbouring diversity with @mixedforests.bsky.social, @ritasousasilva.bsky.social, @habenblondeel.bsky.social, @cavenderg9.bsky.social, @shankothari.bsky.social and others
- How does tree plasticity in response to neighbors influence forest productivity? We had such a great sTREND meeting at iDIV discussing the consequences of intraspecific variation in trees for ecosystem function and potential mechanisms of complementarity and net biodiversity effects.
- It was a pleasure to meet and discuss tree trait responses to diversity @idiv-research.bsky.social 🌳🌲 #sTREND rocks🚨/w @juliakoricheva.bsky.social, @ritasousasilva.bsky.social, @habenblondeel.bsky.social, @cavenderg9.bsky.social, @shankothari.bsky.social, @lsachsenmaier.bsky.social, #TreeDivNet

- Reposted by Jeannine Cavender-BaresEvery year, we host a lecture and celebrate after with a banquet. This year, May 3 at 3pm EDT, we will hear from Ryan Schmidt from Harvard on the hidden heroes of herbaria! The lecture can be watched in person or on zoom - details & registration here: www.eventbrite.com/e/torrey-bot... 🌾🌿🧪 #botany

- The ground is daily shifting under our feet, and it is hard to cope or know what to do. It was so uplifting hiking on Mt Graylock in the Berkshires today with Steven Augustine and Azzo Seguin—thinking about freezing tolerance along altitudinal gradients.
- Reposted by Jeannine Cavender-BaresWhat interesting and exciting common garden / reciprocal transplant experiments do you know of? Who is conducting them? I'm interested in connecting with folks as we continue to work on our climate-focused bur oak experiment in OK, IL and MN w/ @cavenderg9.bsky.social, Heather McCarthy & colleagues.

- #ESA Governing Board retreat earlier this week. Should ESA extend the tent? How do we keep what is essential to academics but inclusive of NGOs, gov’t, private sector, indigenous voices? Navigating the changing publication landscape. ESA at #COP16 representing US science…does it justify the flights?

- Great hike with students from the #ESA Delegation to #COP16 this morning in the mountains behind the city of Calí to “Tres Cruces”—we saw cool plants (like Bixa orellana) and great rocks
- From COP16 in Calí Colombia. Learning about a wide range of perspectives on how to promote biodiversity on our planet
- I am excited about this JGI project sequencing genomes for so many oaks!

- Wonderful visit from BEF China and oak syngameon scientists at #Cedar_Creek_ESR for our #NSF #Dimensions_of_Biodiversity project
- Posting photos from the last field trip at Cedar Creek with the grad students in EEB Foundations and the Biodiversity Science class a few weeks ago. I will miss this place and the people
- Fun field trip on Occoneechi Mountain in NC
- Oak folks at Duke Gardens
- Reposted by Jeannine Cavender-BaresFor the NSF DEB community - see the new solicitation for the core programs. What’s to note? SG (Small Grants) changed to STAR - new acronym with more $, now $400k. Great for theory, synthesis, postdoc initiated ideas, etc. Only 10 pages too. new.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...
