Another ant ecology postdoc! This time focused on physiology, combined with cutting-edge tech and field data to test ecological theories of species coexistence. Based at UCT with fieldwork in the Cederberg, and collab across Cape Town, Cardiff, Harvard and Durham Universities
🚨ANOTHER JOB ALERT!🚨 Love insect physiology and how it links to species coexistence in wild places? Come and work with me, @cjanion, @RebeccaASenior and @andrewbdavies at @UCT_news! 🐜🐜🐜❄️🔥 This is our second ant-facing postdoc funded by @HFSP. Please share and apply!

This one's been a long time coming, but very pleased that our latest paper is now out in @ESAMonographs! Herbivore regulation of savanna vegetation: Structural complexity, diversity, and the complexity–diversity relationship https://t.co/JKtkcePRyT

Large mammalian herbivores exert strong top-down control on plants, which in turn influence most ecological processes. Accordingly, the decline, displacement, or extinction of wild large herbivores...

Our new paper out in @GlobalChangeBio and led by @Stephanie_JLaw Nice cover pic too :) of a magnificent termite mound in @AfricanParks @OdzalaKokoua
How can we estimate termite contribution to global methane emissions? Check out our new paper featured on the cover of #GlobalChangeBiology and the impressive #Macrotermes mound photographed by coauthor @andrewbdavies

Our results demonstrate that fire-induced grazing lawns can persist over the longer term, even when fires are no longer applied, leading to the creation of vertical and horizontal heterogeneity in...

🏆We're delighted to announce @tylerccoverdale is the WINNER of the 2023 Harper Prize, our annual award for early career researchers!🎉👏 🧵1/5
Being awarded the @JEcology Harper Prize is Tyler Coverdale!🏅 Tyler proposes a theoretical framework for plant diversity-structural complexity relationships. Recent #ActiveRemoteSensing data reveals that more diverse #plant communities are more structurally complex 🌱

A bit of my soul is embedded in this one 💌 Keystone species are especially important for upholding healthy, diverse ecosystems. We propose that #diversity, #wellbeing, & #coexistence are keystones for the challenging, wild ecosystem that is #conservation
