Combined, the results indicate that traits related to growth and survival can dictate a species' vulnerability to global change, perhaps more so than traits related to growth and survival

Interestingly, for the same geographic area and 60 widespread species in our analyses, sensitivity to climate change and wildfire were NOT affected by traits that are thought to influence a dragonfly's ability to grow and survive in a warmer world

new paper from my lab @CUDenResearch in @NatureClimate, led by PhD student Sarah Nalley! Dragonflies with mating ornaments on their wings are disappearing from parts of the United States that have had more warming and wildfire over the last 40 years https://t.co/UJ6RNsFpfI

Nature Climate Change - The authors use 1,603 estimates of local extinctions from 1980 to 2021 to show that dragonfly species with wing ornamentation have disproportionately gone extinct and lost...

new paper out with Paula Cushing @DenverMuseumNS in @RoyEntSoc! We explore elevational distributions of wolf spiders in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado 🕷️ that live at extreme elevations tend to be cold-tolerant generalists that can live anywhere https://t.co/MXdAQr5h0F

Climate change and the cost-of-living squeeze in desert lizards | Science
science.org
Climate warming can induce a cost-of-living “squeeze” in ectotherms by increasing energetic expenditures while reducing foraging gains. We used biophysical models (validated by 2685 field observati...

As temperatures rise, insects adapt—but at a cost. 🐞 CU Denver’s Michael Moore studies how warming impacts insect color and survival to affect mating and camouflage. Learn more here ⤵️ https://t.co/YeSvIvpkv6

The informal poll results are in, & as I feared, most people are running ANOVAs in #R with functions that can give highly misleading (or flat out wrong) results. Follow along to see why using anova() and aov() is usually inadvisable & why you should be using car::Anova() 🧵

Thankyou @MasahitoTsuboi for leading this author team behind this paper in @JEvBio! I am very excited about this and a proud member of the team. We now hope that we have made colleagues aware of an important bridge between micro- and macroevolution: https://t.co/lO20SkB8S1

Delighted to share our new perspective article @JEvBio: rising evidence suggests unexpectedly robust link btw micro- and macroevolution. It challenges past views of evolution and calls for interdisciplinary research. #Evolution #EvoDevo #Paleontology 1/7 https://t.co/HCPbhIqOVj
