Interested in the HHMI Gilliam fellowship? This super informative video from my friend and Gilliam fellow Lillian Horin is a must-watch. It talks about how to win the fellowship, even with the application changes this year! youtube.com/watch?v=4aY4-N…

❤️Home sweet home❤️ #PuertoRico 🇵🇷

New pub: Temperature seasonality drives taxonomic and functional homogenization of tropical butterflies we digitized thousands of museum specimens from #PuertoRico to model diversity patterns across the island and show...1/4 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…

NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.

This little figure sums up the theory developed by our findings. Read the whole paper here: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

🤯🤯🤯 This strange insect behavior makes my research possible! So cool!

I expected this, but it's nice to see it confirmed with actual global data. 📈 environment.yale.edu/news-in-brief/…

Check out this series of interviews highlighting research at #ElYunque rainforest in PR! Starts at 7:16. Really cool to learn about the medicinal properties of Tanonuco trees! 🌳 another of the many reasons to protect these majestic trees ❤️

In our new study published in PNAS this week, we resolve a long-standing debate by identifying which species are most at risk of extinction due to natural hazards pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🥳 Felicidades to all new #GilliamFellows!!! 🥳 #diversifySTEM

Made it to Long Beach, CA for #ESA2024! I'll be serving on a panel about career growth through internships and fellowships (Mon 2:45, career central rm 2), and presenting my research on hurricane impacts on moths (Thurs 8:45, rm 102C). Excited to connect and share!

Still at #ESA2024? Join me tomorrow at 8:45am in room 102C to learn about the effects of hurricanes on moth taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity! Luquillo LTER Gund Institute for Environment Rubenstein School

We're excited to share that the UVM Institute for Agroecology is offering a fully funded PhD position in Transformative Agroecology! Applications due Sept 29, 2024. Details and application: uvm.edu/instituteforag… #Agroecology #PhDOpportunity #SustainabilityResearch

Please RT! El Verde Field Station #PuertoRico now has a direct funding mechanism to assist with repairs. It was hit hard by recent hurricanes & Covid. We're eager to bring it back so we can continue the decades long research into tropical ecology. 🇵🇷🌴🐸🦋 donaciones.uprrp.edu/iniciativas/pr…
