Thomas Haaland and I recently wrote a paper that investigates potential vulnerabilities in natural populations to changes in the intensity, duration and frequency of extreme weather events. The paper is open access so feel free to download it from my publications link or directly from the publisher's URL. Although it took some time to get covered, the press and more importantly, the institutions that can really use this information are beginning to pay attention. Here's an example of our coverage so far...
Are you interested in a largely independent postdoctoral fellowship that will allow you to advance your research agenda, expand your network of mentors and colleagues and make a difference in the world? If so, then please consider the following opportunity from the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University. Please contact me for details if you are interested in submitting an application... I am happy to announce that two of our newest products have been published in Nature Communications and Ecology and Evolution. Kudos to Trevor Fristoe and Thomas Haaland for their hard work and brilliance... Trevor's paper explores the atypical distribution of brain sizes in temperate environments (spoiler alert: it is bimodal) and how it may be related to alternative ecological strategies to deal with massive temperate swings. Thomas' paper investigates the phenomenon of extreme weather events and proposes a framework for understanding how organisms may adapt or not to current changes in the intensity, frequency and scope of these events.
