We already knew that the phylogenetic distance between an insect’s native and non-native hosts was a key predictor of impact on insects that specialize on conifers…

Evolutionary history predicts high‐impact invasions by herbivorous insects
This research is the first to empirically support historically assumed hypotheses about the importance of evolutionary history as a major driver of impact of non-native herbivorous insects. We discov...

What Is a Specialist? Quantifying Host Breadth Enables Impact Prediction for Invasive Herbivores
Herbivores are commonly classified as host specialists or generalists for various purposes, yet the definitions of these terms, and their intermediates, are often imprecise and ambiguous. We quantifi...

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!
