Surprisingly helpful for old minds as well :)
📔 New paper with @LindoLab on #oribatid mites is out in @FrontYoungMinds . This was a really nice exercise and we thank the two young reviewers and @MalteJochum @BeugnonRemy @helenherself for their comments and guidance. #soilbiodiversity @theGSBI kids.frontiersin.org/article…

Since the beginning of lockdown, @BaylaArt and I have been collecting bird carcasses from window strikes at @Yale SOM, which was unthinkingly designed to be one of the world's most effective bird killing architectural mistakes.

Are you excited about soil food webs? Check out our (@oppiella & myself) paper and R code. We share some handy new soil food web model features and a cautionary tale about lumping together organisms with different parameters (especially C:N ratio). dx.doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435…

My partner @BaylaArt is an amazing scientific illustrator, but she doesn't use Tw much (even though I told her that this is where all the science is!). Think yall could RT to help her out? And maybe keep her in mind for all the quarantine papers your working on?

I had tones of fun collaborating on this project and now I'm very excited to see it published. What a great end to a Monday!
I'm thrilled to share our newest #hurricanes and #anoles study in PNAS (@pnasnews): "Hurricane effects on Neotropical lizards span geographic and phylogenetic scales." pnas.org/content/early/2020/…

Check out the exciting lab work that I am excited to return to once COVID-19 has been contained.
To better understand how the biodiversity of soils contribute to nutrient cycling and carbon storage, the @LindoLab study the interactions among microbes, fungi, spiders, insects, mites, nematodes, springtails, plants and more. What are springtails? Take a look at the video.

Lots of 'excited' in that tweet. In my defense, I haven't left my apartment in two weeks...

Hey Foresters, has anyone used the timber management program Woodstock & Stanley? I am trying to understand how it makes yield calculations. Thanks!
