A complex new layer to my favorite ecological saga, led by the amazing Annika Nelson 🌿🦇🐜
I’m thrilled to share our new paper that just came out in Ecology! @TropicalStef @WhiteheadLabVT @GelambiMariana We found that secondary metabolites in fruit alter the effectiveness of seed dispersal by ants.

Finding it very hard to give up on this site when it keeps giving me presents like this 🤯
Happy holidays! Introducing RTutor.ai, an AI-powered app that lets you chat with your data in English! RTutor uses Davinci (#ChatGPT’s sibling) to turn requests into R code, which is executed & results are shown instantly, available as a HTML report in seconds. 1/8

Hi #ESA2022 #CSEE2022! Can't wait to share some of my postdoc research on the chemical ecology of seed dispersal! I'll be giving a talk titled "Fruit Secondary Metabolites Decrease the Quantity and Quality of Secondary Seed Dispersal" on Tuesday at 2:15 in room 520C.

Check it out!! More awesome work led by @Laurenaceae
We put climate chambers in a tropical rainforest understory, and guess what we found?

Climate change can have indirect, cascading consequences on plant resource allocation, even where direct effects are not observable.
