New work by @SnellRoodLab et al. finds diversity of #BumbleBees & #butterflies in Minnesota roadsides depends on floral diversity & abundance, not native status: doi.org/10.1111/icad.1… #OpenAccess @fuzzybumblebee Photos: B. affinis (credit A.Darst); surveys (credit T.Mitchell)

Students in my animal behavior course enjoyed using DataClassroom to figure out how to setup statistical tests -- and many liked how it links directly to R code!

CROSSINGS has its first official review, and it's a doozy from @KirkusReviews, which bestowed a coveted ⭐️: "Goldfarb’s follow-up to Eager, his award-winning book on beavers, is another illuminating, witty work... an astonishingly deep pool of wonders." kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/b…

Members of the @SnellRoodLab “‘Function’ in biology and bio-inspired design” project wrote the #OpenAccess Biomimetics article, “Broadening the Taxonomic Breadth of Organisms in the Bio-Inspired Design Process.” mdpi.com/2313-7673/8/1/… @ghroehrig #interdisciplinary

Check out our new review/synthesis on the integration of developmental features in evolutionary models. Learned a ton with this one, led by @SnellRoodLab and part of special issue edited by @ecoevodevo_lab . onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ed… @scioi_cluster @umncbs @LeibnizIGB

Happy to share that the chemistry of the black nectar of Melianthus is now published. It started with a discussion with @rachelvannette at a conference about this sp and finding out that it grew on the UC Davis campus, expediting the access to it. Haha! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

It appears that my quote-tweet entirely failed! twitter.com/tccfp_umn

On the look-out for coyote and fox dens in the Twin Cities!

March is just around the corner, and so are fox kits! With pup-rearing season coming up, foxes and coyotes are starting to move into dens like the one pictured above (note the condensation from a warm occupant forming the crystals on the snow above the den - someone’s home!).

We love biology and are seeking a new Dean! "The University of Minnesota seeks a collaborative and visionary scholar, leader, and educator to serve as the Dean of the College of Biological Sciences (CBS)." cbs.umn.edu/sites/cbs.umn.… (pic: Itasca Field Station)

Nice op-ed co-authored by @UMNFroglab: "Chronic disinvestment by the state is eroding the U of M’s workforce.... the U needs long-term plans that also emphasize people, not just property." minnpost.com/community-voic…

📰Published📰 Traffic patterns – more than adjacent land use – influence element content of roadside forbs & most levels of metals are below toxic levels for leaf-feeding caterpillars 🚗🐛📉 New research by @AM_Shephard @SnellRoodLab @e_borer 🔗besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

This is so cool!! "Weaker selection on genes with treatment-specific expression may limit plasticity evolution in Arabidopsis thaliana"

@flydrocarbon @n_a_gilbert @umncbs @CedarCreekESR @MSP_LTER @UMNIonE @BellMuseum @ItascaBio Agreed. It was in the draft, but was somehow cut out of the HR posting. Sorry the omission was missed!

@SnellRoodLab @n_a_gilbert @umncbs @CedarCreekESR @MSP_LTER @UMNIonE @BellMuseum @ItascaBio Thank you! They should include it in the job ad, this is pretty standard info.

UMN EEB @umncbs is hiring at the Assistant Professor level in any area of ecology, evolution or behavior. Join us! @CedarCreekESR @MSP_LTER @UMNIonE @BellMuseum @ItascaBio hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/352255

@flydrocarbon @n_a_gilbert @umncbs @CedarCreekESR @MSP_LTER @UMNIonE @BellMuseum @ItascaBio Great question! I clarified with the search committee: "Applications received by 11/12 are guaranteed full consideration"

@n_a_gilbert @SnellRoodLab @umncbs @CedarCreekESR @MSP_LTER @UMNIonE @BellMuseum @ItascaBio Same, and seen this posted 3 times. Please someone from the department clarify this on the post.

Exciting news! @UMNFWCB is seeking applicants for a Presidential Postdoc. Succesful candidates will be offered a faculty job in our department after 2 years! AMAZING! Reach out to me, @erimystax or any of the potential mentors #teamfish #teambird fwcb.cfans.umn.edu/presidents-pos…
