New paper on yield variability in coffee plants! We found support for resource depletion, esp N, as a key driver, consistent with the resource budget model of mast seeding. Fertilizer and shade did little to mitigate underlying resource tradeoffs.

BREAKING: All of Puerto Rico — every town, neighborhood, house — is without power. That’s 1.4 million households. Winds over the southern portion of the island have gusted 80-100 mph, but elsewhere winds have been much lesser. Despite this, the grid is tenuous at best.

First paper as a lead author is officially out! We show that crops known to be alternate-bearing at an individual scale frequently exhibit alternate-bearing even at a national scale. As with masting, this is especially pronounced in wind-pollinated crops! @CroneLiz

As I struggled to deal with the impact of COVID on my family members in India, I got delayed by a day for submitting my reviews for a conference & I got a message from a senior reviewer with the blurb below. My humble request to everyone - pls don't say this to anyone ever! [1/n]

@Edwards_evoeco When I mentioned that male #sagegrouse often copulate with dried cowpies, I didn't do the situation justice. I will elaborate in a thread. @EffinBirds @ProBirdRights For most males, cowpie copulation is just an occasional indulgence. For others, it's a lifestyle.
