My undergrad mentee, Dorian Scheim, rocked their first conference at #Botany2025!

If you're interested in temporal sampling using herbaria, asters, or how floret counts change over time and environments, there's still time to check out their poster at P109!

If you're at #Botany2025, I'd love to see you at 5pm in the popgen session, where I'll be sharing on landscape genomics across the tiny, fragmentary range of the Gaviota tarplant!

Kīpuka hosted unique communities, more impacted by non-native species, whose richness at species- & haplotype-equivalent scales increased with their size. Kīpuka were also associated with faster turnover at both scales, though we also compare the idiosyncratic responses of different taxa (2/3)

Proud to share our new article on how lava flows reshape Hawaiian arthropod communities at species- & haplotype-equivalent scales!
We studied kīpuka—forest patches isolated by lava flows--with bulk arthropod samples & metabarcoding.

My parents, enduring several days of sopping wet, cold hiking...
And the payoff!

Oh-so-gradually getting to my photos from travel before the World Congress of Herpetology this last summer. I highly recommend a stay at Camp 5 to those visiting Gunung Mulu in Malaysian Borneo.
