We won a grant! ππ₯³πΎππ we are recruiting a team of 3 postdocs: acoustics, biology and math.
Such an exciting project dealing with plant and pollinator noise.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would
CLIMEX Match Climate Composite Match Index (CMI) overlaid with Tipuana tipu distribution location records, projected globally. Insets show the native range, part of South America, part of southern Africa, southwest Australia, and an area of eastern Australia with high levels of cultivation and/or naturalisation. Areas with an orange-red colour (CMI 0.8β1) had high CMI values. Areas with a blue colour (CMI 0.6β0.8) had a climate with moderate CMI values. Records of T. tipu are shown as open circles. Pink circles represent records of plants within the native range. All other colours represent plant records in the non-native range, with purple representing cultivated plant records, yellow representing non-cultivated plant records, green representing records with both cultivated and non-cultivated plants and brown representing plant records where the cultivation status was indeterminate.
The interplay between climatic niche and spatial distribution can inform the management of non-native invasive species. Our findings reveal that the invasion risk for species with small geographic ranges may be greater than assumed.

πΏ Postdoc opportunity in plant evolutionary ecology/genetics!
My lab in the Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to start Fall 2026.
We study plant adaptation, using weeds as model systems.

Important read about the incredibly ugly racist hate, abuse & threats Indigenous Australians get
"Many noted a marked uptick in violent rhetoric since the failed voice to parliament referendum in 2023."
βA lot of people in general feel really comfortable being racist.β 1/
βThe domestic violence femicide of Kelly Wilkinson is more tangible evidence of how badly frayed our safety nets are.
Kelly begged police for help. They told her to give her abuser a break & to go βcool offβ. 9 days later, Earl Johnston burned Kelly alive. It was April 20, 2021. Kelly was only 27.β
There's a 90 min doc on Netflix called Careless about ageing in Australia.
It's made by Sue Thomson & centres around her mother's situation. Also features a few other older people, aged care activists, and journalists.
A very easy watch for a usually depressing topic.

Dichopogon capillipes
We are getting towards the end of a long, hot summer and there isn't much flowering in the Perth Hills at the minute, but these amazingly delicate flowers are one thing that you can see in the bush currently.
