Congrats to PhD student @Kanaskie_MSc for this nice piece of work! Get your copy here: mdpi.com/2072-4292/16/1…

Today's #NerdWord: Subnivium, the environment between snow and soil. Brought to you by this @scifri episode featuring Chris Ziadeh, @COLSA_UNH alumnus who studied with @jeffgarnas. Listen 🎧#segment-transcript" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencefriday.com/segments/insec…

Happy to have contributed a chapter in this new open-access #foresthealth textbook, which features chapters on entomology and #invasivespecies (hat tip to Jeremy Allison Tim Paine, @bernardslippers, and @IUFRO_Mike for serving as editors!): link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Chestnut trees 🌳 dotted the American landscape until a blight slowly destroyed them. Can careful breeding restore them? @nhpr talks with @NH_AES researcher @jeffgarnas on his work at UNH: nhpr.org/nh-news/2023-0…

Calling all potential postdocs with strong quantitative/data-wrangling skills to study impacts of nonnative insects and pathogens on forest demographics and carbon sequestration potential. Apply here: jobs.usnh.edu/postings/55010 and/or please share! @COLSA_UNH

Beech bark disease is a widespread cankering disease of American beech trees. NHAES scientist @jeffgarnas & his team are trying to better understand the how this disease spreads, as well as how the trees respond to it. bit.ly/3JHWmIe @unhresearchnews @UNHCE_forestry

@lunruj @kasson_wvu @FHReports @retronek @Shannon_C_Lynch @cameronstauder American beech. Could definitely have been N. ditissima...no way to tell from conidia, so far as I know.

@lunruj @kasson_wvu @FHReports @retronek @Shannon_C_Lynch @cameronstauder Could be Neonectria ditissima. I can't tell the host from the bark. Do you know what the tree was?

@lunruj @kasson_wvu @FHReports @retronek @Shannon_C_Lynch @cameronstauder Kind of a crappy picture but these are the conidiophores.

@gennachiaro @kasson_wvu @FHReports @retronek @Shannon_C_Lynch @cameronstauder Slime mold for sure, I'd say. Cool photos, and weird that it's so abundant on cedar.

I'm recruiting a PhD student for Fall 2023! Lots of freedom to explore interdisciplinary research, but in the neighborhood of trait-based fungal dispersal & microbial movement ecology across spatial/temporal scales. Please RT! More info on how to apply: balachaudhary.com/join.html

Postdoc opportunity in my lab at the University of New Hampshire on climate and other drivers of parasitoid success. See: mypages.unh.edu/garnaslab/para… Application review begins 10/1. Please RT! #eab @kasson_wvu @unhresearchnews

The sirex #woodwasp has invaded North America in 2004, but economic losses to #pines have so far been minimal - can this change? - article in @NeobiotaJournal by Flora E. Krivak-Tetley, @_jsullivanstack, @jeffgarnas and others - doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

Forestry researchers @jeffgarnas and Matt Vadeboncoeur received Northeastern States Research Coop grants to study tree pests and fire as a tool @UNHEOS @NH_AES @COLSA_UNH unh.edu/unhtoday/2022/…

Looking to hire a postdoc to assess long-term consequences of non-native insects and diseases on carbon storage capacity in forests. More info/apply here: jobs.usnh.edu/postings/47799 Please share/RT! @kasson_wvu @LiebholdSandy @forestservice @unhresearchnews

Super cool! Perfect fodder for my entomology course. Fun fact: eating locusts and kin is the only form of entomophagy sanctioned by the Bible (Leviticus 11:22,24). Staggering outbreak abundances + propensity to devastate crops HAVE to be part of that story.

If you're wondering how southern pine beetle populations fared this winter, check out this little app: foresthealth.shinyapps.io/SPBWinterTemp/ @MattAyres3 @unhresearchnews @FHReports Photo by: @Kanaskie_MSc

Potentially interested in a PhD or POSTDOC on beetle-fungus-tree relationships? We will be hiring next year, get in touch early! hulcr@ufl.edu #invasives, #ecologicalstatistics, #phylogenetics

A couple of new European woodwasp (Sirex noctilio)/biocontrol papers for anyone keeping track: authors.elsevier.com/c/1egVD3kk-aPc… & neobiota.pensoft.net/article/75392/ @Fabiteam1 @ultraflora_kt @unhresearchnews
