Prof. Amy Angert at the University of British Columbia wrote an awesome commentary piece about our ponderosa paper that just came out here, titled “The space-for-time gambit fails a robust test”. She does a really great job contextualizing our findings and discussing some of the eco-evolutionary mechanisms that may underlie them. I’m a huge fan of her work in general, and thrilled that she found this work compelling.

It’s finally out! Beyond excited that my final dissertation chapter is over the finish line and out in the world. Check it out here in PNAS. It’s wild to think that the data in this paper were collected almost five and a half years ago. Hopefully this paper helps moves the climate change biogeography field away from simple space-for-time substitution, and toward a more nuanced, temporally-informed approach… still lots of work to do to get there!

The picture below is from one of my favorite field sites from that study, an isolated pocket of ponderosa pine up West Rosebud Creek in the Beartooths in SW Montana:

Had a wonderful time in Portland at the 2023 ESA meeting – you can find materials from the “Intro to FIA for Ecologists” workshop here. Awesome working with great friends and colleagues putting this together – Bailey McLaughlin, Jane Terzibashian, and Harold Zald.
