Large terrestrial herbivores influence tropical forest regeneration, affecting seedling communities 🌲 Conservation & trophic rewilding could play a key role in diversity & forest regeneration. Yet, trophic rewilding requires careful planning 📑 🔗doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Hey @how2saveaplanet what do you think? Will @YoYo_Ma @pattiegonia @BucketHatQuinn “won’t give up” be the climate anthem we’ve been looking for? youtu.be/2dKk1bIn8aU?si… Ref to episode 4/22/21 gimletmedia.com/amp/shows/howt… From a fellow music and professional environmental nerd.

So excited to share our work from Panama! A project monitoring epiphytes in Santa Fé National Park with Josué Ortega. Súper emocionada compartir nuestro trabajo de las epífitas de Santa Fé--empezado en 2017 y publicado esta semana! #epifitas #bosquetropical #PNSF

What a loss. 💔I feel fortunate to have gotten to know Gabe many years ago on BCI and nerded out about our mutual love of tropical plants over the years. 🌱

@Valeria_RamCas So sorry to hear, Gabe was such a joy to interact with—we met allost a decade ago on BCI. 💔

Dear Gabe, You grew a forest. We, the forest, your friends, colleagues, and peers, will always miss you. But we are certain that you will continue to light up this forest forever. With love, Your friends from UC Berkeley Please consider donating: gofund.me/2052ada9

We also want to give a shout out to our honorable mentions for the 2023 Robert P. McIntosh Award for their commendable papers as well! Thanks for a great paper @MyShellSpicer !! Please read it here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Come join our team! The Forest Ecophysiology Lab at the University of Kentucky is recruiting a graduate student. Applications will be reviewed beginning March 15th. Please RT. @WomensForestCng @UKForestry #womenintrees #diversityinSTEM @UKAgDiversity drive.google.com/file/d/1qkennY…

@ClaytonHale3 @NSF Yes! All levels of expertise are welcome to participate in the survey and apply for the workshop!

@MyShellSpicer @NSF This sounds like an amazing opportunity! Are graduate students eligible to apply?

Calling all #forest #herbs #nerds! Please check out our survey and apply to our upcoming @NSF workshop on herbaceous diversity! Anyone who works with herbs in forests across the world is encouraged to participate. #moretotheforestthantrees #plantecology #biodiversity #tinyplants

Recently came to my attention that some trees can extend above 4.5 feet. Confirmatory evidence pictured here. @MyShellSpicer

Happy National Bi Visibility Day! Sharing one of my favorite explanations of bi relationships by the excellent @queeeerchameleon 💗💙💜 #lgbtq🌈 #bivisibilityday #lgbtqinstem

@MenryWY Did you fill out @MaxLiboiron’s survey for people who teach their book? They are up for tenure in September and deserve as many datapoints of awesomeness possible! #pollutioniscolonialism

I'm happy to post my Climate Change and Colonialism syllabus for Fall 2022. It's new and improved from last year - a leaner, more intentional reading list and new assignments. Feel free to use as you'd like! #envhum academia.edu/85247894/Clima…

Hey #ESA2022 I had to cancel in-person attendance this year, but my talk on epiphyte biotic interactions is recorded on my website! Check it out: spicerme.weebly.com/research.html
