Delighted to see this out in @Ecology_Letters after two years of work! We provide a mechanistic reframing of the #EnemyReleaseHypothesis that reconciles previous inconsistencies, unifies enemy-related invasion hypotheses, and enhances predictive capacity!.

Great to see this out in Limnology & Oceanography @aslo_org - we provide the first global meta-analysis of ecosystem services provided by freshwater bivalves! One key message is that native species much better at providing services than invaders!.

Carried out in @kclgeography - Expertly led by a v. talented undergrad and funded by a @KingsCollegeLon undergrad research fellowship. So grateful to work in an institution providing funding for these sorts of projects!.

We actually found that the areas referred to by single scale terms varied by an average of 4.7 orders of magnitude across the plant ecology literature!! This has huge implications for comparing between studies based on their scale terms, and for understanding scale dependence.

Thrilled to see this out @JVegSci! We looked at spatial scale terms in plant community ecology - terms like 'local' or 'regional'. The implication is that these terms should convey ecological info and so be fairly consistent across studies. But are they?.

The blog about our Harper Prize-shortlisted paper is now up @JEcology! Read on for a summary of what we found, and what got me into (and keeps me in) ecology!.

So excited to see my paper on the shortlist for the Harper Prize, amongst some amazing work!! (Definitely lots to add to my reading list!). (You can find my paper here: .

Pleased that my 2023 paper on enemy release was one of the top-10 cited articles in @Ecology_Letters from that year! If you missed it, check it out again here:.

V. pleased to see this in @ESAEcosphere! Priority effects are important in determining host-parasite dynamics in natural systems. Here, I show there are different types of priority effect, and they have very different consequences for host populations.

Going to start making the transition - find me on the other side @drjoshbrian.bsky.social.

If anyone is still on here, very pleased to have played a small part in this paper about sampling mass mortality events now out @MethodsEcolEvol (using freshwater mussels as an example) - something regrettably gaining more and more relevance!

Might be the outlier here but 99% of the time when a speaker transitions to their next slide by saying “Now you might be wondering why…”, I am certainly not wondering anything like that in the slightest @AcademicChatter.

You know the smell of sewage on the Strand is bad when you deliberately walk through someone’s vape cloud for a bit of relief.

Help required plz! Any protocols on phytohormone (JA, SA, ABA) extraction using dried plant material (i.e. air-dried or in oven, NOT using liquid N to snap-freeze?) Getting liquid N will be challenging at field site, hoping to be able to dry and grind leaves & extract later!.

Cedar Bog Lake @CedarCreekESR looking lovely and reflective in the afternoon sun!
