We have a paper published and open access at Ecology & Evolution: “Biogeography and predictors of wildlife killed on roads at peninsular Florida State Parks.” This arises from our Biogeography course, and includes students as co-authors (like other such efforts here and here).
Juan’s first chapter from his dissertation was accepted in Scientific Reports:
Bogotá-Gregory J, F Lima, S Correa, C Silva Oliveira, DG Jenkins, F Ribeiro, N Lovejoy, R Reis, W Crampton. Biogeochemical water type influences community composition, species richness, and biomass in megadiverse Amazonian fish assemblages.
Leo’s paper in Ecology is getting some press attention.
Leo Ohyama, Josh King, and Dave have a paper in press in Ecology entitled “Are tiny subterranean ants top predators affecting aboveground ant communities?” This work represents Leo’s cool field experiment for his MS thesis.
Dave’s paper with colleagues entitled “Global human ‘predation’ on plant growth and biomass” is now online at Global Ecology & Biogeography. Now the lab can stop hearing about the “man eats world” paper. Oh, but there’s a sequel.
Update: it is now assigned to an issue: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/geb.13087
Dave & Pedro have a paper published in PLoS One entitled “A solution to minimum sample size for regressions” – see it here
Kim Medley’s paper on her grand mosquito experiment (with Katie Westby and Dave as co-authors) is fresh out as an Early View at J. Applied Ecology, and already hitting the news
Our lab and others published a paper in Ecosphere on trade‐offs and synergies in a payment‐for‐ecosystem services program on ranchlands in the Everglades headwaters
Jacob presented on his experiment about disturbance and productivity at ESA in Louisville. Way to go with your first presentation, Jacob!
Vero Urgiles and colleagues named a frog after Pedro!
As you might have heard, Pedro was honored by Vero and her colleagues who named a newly described species of terrestrial frogs after him. Some say they can see the resemblance between Prismantis quintanai and Pedro. What do you think?
