I am really proud of this study! It was led by an amazing ECR, highlights the work of a wonderful team of co-authors, and has resulted in a database of mechanistic demographic models currently being expanded to include underrepresented taxa to do comparative forecasts: github.com/MariaPaniw/C...
A study of how 41 plant and animal species react to climate change highlights the complexity of density feedbacks, in which population reductions lead to an easing of competition for the remaining individuals. In PNAS Nexus: https://ow.ly/xQMz50X6h6s

Science on Tap resumes with this awesome intervention from Dr Kim O'Keefe on Fire Ecology. So make sure to join the event tonight, Tues October 14th, at 7pm at the Blackrocks Brewery on Third Str. in Marquette!
The International Hibernation Society is happy to release the Seasonal Hibernation Highlights for the Fall 2025.

Enjoy reading the latest research on Torpor & Hibernation as Seasonal Adaptative Strategies and as Biomimicry Inspiration!

Up with the fishermen this morning. An absolutely incredible paddle despite occasionally getting caught in their wake.
An open fishing yawl with one person in it zooms across the glassy water in the dim peach coloured light of sunrise. The dark wave of the wake of a boat closes in on the bow of a blue kayak. The wave is dark against the peach coloured light of the morning sky before sunrise.

Science on Tap resumes!

Save The Date: Science on Tap on Tuesday October 14th @ 7 pm at Blackrocks Brewery! Come to listen to the awesome research from Dr Kim O'Keefe on "Fuel for Thought: Fire Ecology in a Warming World". Sponsored by Biology & EEGs Departments
Check out the last IHS research seminar by Dr Julia Nowack from Liverpool John Moores University. Great insights on adaptive thermoregulation in endotherms facing rapid environmental change.

Glad to start this academic year as the new Biology Graduate Director at Northern Michigan University! We had great kickoff in this new year with all new Graduate Assistants. Looking forward to start new endeavors in leading this Graduate cohort with great support from colleagues at Biology & NMU 🤩🥳

Some truly amazing news: I've been appointed full Professor of Energy & Climate Policy at @ox.ac.uk.

Honestly have to pinch myself. It's been a non-traditional path to academia, and it feels like things have come full circle from starting an enviro group as a kid in the late 1980s.

3,000 people turned out today in Marquette! This is for a small city where the temp hovered around freezing with the wind whipping off Lake Superior. We put on our coats, hats, and snow pants and got out there.
