- Thermal physiology and abundance trends over 30 years in 119 species of butterfly show narrow warming margins in tropical species and complex trends in abundance depending on climate adaptation, ecology and demography. @sarahdiamond.bsky.social nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
- Reposted by Carmen da SilvaBumping this up one last time. I'm looking to hire graduate student(s) to work on an NSF-funded project to study elevational range shifts among dragonflies here in Colorado. @cudenverclas.bsky.social 🧪🌍🐙 Applications will be considered until Nov 1. See post below for more details
- Are you looking for a PhD position and want to spend your summers in the Rocky Mountains? My lab @cudenverclas.bsky.social is looking for 1 PhD student to work on a NSF-funded project to study elevational range shifts in Colorado! 🧪🌍🐙 Apply by Nov 1! Details here docs.google.com/document/d/1...
- Reposted by Carmen da SilvaI cannot believe our work is finally out there and in @journal-evo.bsky.social ! This was an enormous group effort! We provide an updated estimate of the number of buzz pollinated angiosperm species, genera, and families, look at consequences for diversification, number of transitions, and more!
- How many plant species are buzz pollinated? After more than six years in the making, our paper on the convergent evolution of buzz pollinated flowers is out in @journal-evo.bsky.social. Thanks @draverbee.bsky.social @roszenil.bsky.social and all co-authors for your hard work! doi.org/10.1093/evol...

- Reposted by Carmen da SilvaReal time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels. #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-re-t...

- Excited to see our ms published with @jexpbiol.bsky.social! We show that temperature and precipitation explain metabolic rate in Fijian bees across an elevational gradient. #metabolicrate #bee #adaptation #climate Check it out here journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

- Butterflies in the USA are shifting their ranges in all directions, except towards regions where climate is warming the fastest. They rate that they shift their ranges is correlated with the rate temperature is warming. 🦋 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
