Lab news​
  • Kaleb gave a fabulous virtual talk through the White Mountain Research Center's lecture series. You can check out a recording of his talk here!
  • Kaleb was accepted into the KIETS Climate Leaders Program. Through this program, Kaleb and Seema will work with Meagan Oldfather at the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center to study the long-term effects of climate change on alpine plant communities in California and Nevada. Congrats, Kaleb!
  • Seema had a blast during an in-person visit to the Department of  Biology at Wake Forest University. Thanks so much to Nick Kortessis for hosting!
  • Kaleb, along with other PMB and Applied Ecology graduate students, led our lab's exhibit at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences Darwin Day again this year. We enjoyed another beautiful day teaching kids about how plant populations cope with climate change by moving or evolving. 
  • Emma Vtipilthorpe began a position as Research Associate at Invaio Sciences. Congratulations, Emma!!!
  • Undergrad Mataeus Funderburk joined the lab in Fall 2022. Welcome, Mataeus!
  • With lead PI Jill Anderson and co-PIs Megan DeMarche, Susana Wadgymar, Emily Josephs, and Jenny Cruse-Sanders, we received a National Science Foundation Organismal Response to Climate Change grant to integrate evolutionary and migratory potential of Chamaecrista fasciculata into forecasts of range-wide population dynamics under climate change. We are recruiting a graduate student to work on this NSF-funded project.
  • New meta-analysis led by Matt Sasaki and Brian Cheng, with several co-authors from the Research Coordinated Network for Evolution in Changing Seas, is out in Nature Climate Change.
  • New paper co-led by former lab manager Aeran Coughlin and former post-doc Rachel Wooliver is out in Ecology and Evolution.
  • Seema had a fantastic scouting trip for PERSIST. It was great to meet with new collaborators and check out potential sites for our scarlet monkeyflower common gardens!
  • Kaleb had a fun and successful field season collecting functional trait data on alpine plants with UC Davis undergrad Malia Reiss and Seema! Kaleb also crushed his first field season as Gloria Great Basin field coordinator, and successfully completed surveys in the White Mountains and the Carson Range!  
  • New review led by Susana Wadgymar and Jill Anderson, with co-authors Megan DeMarche and Emily Josephs, is out in Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics.
