NEWS:
- October 2024: In collaboration with Jason Vlemickx, Simon Queenborough and Liza Comita (Yale) and folks at the Yasuní Forest dynamics plot in Ecuador (Renato Valencia, Nancy Garwood and Margaret Metz), we have a second study published in Ecology Letters which demonstrates the negative effects of warming (increasing nighttime minimum temperatures) and increasing relative humidity on tropical tree reproduction. The study demonstrates that the convergence of warmer nights and wetter atmospheric conditions occurring during the flowering phenological year and the onset and peak of the fruiting season have negatively impacted seed production over the past two decades.
- August 2024: I attended the Ecological Society of America meeting 2024 in Long Beach, CA. I presented a poster on my ORISE post-doc work: "Hurricane disturbance and the growth-mortality trade-off of Caribbean trees". Stay tuned for more on this project.

- January 2024: Work form my post-doctoral time at Jeremy Lichstein's lab at the University of Florida Department of Biology (in collaboration with Grant Domke - USDA Forest Service NRS, Dan Johnson also at University of Florida and Kai Zhu at University of Michigan) is out in PNAS: Climate change determines the sign of productivity trends in US forests. See UF news and U Michigan news releases.
- November 2023: In collaboration with Jason Vlemickx, Simon Queenborough and Liza Comita (Yale) and folks at the Yasuní Forest dynamics plot in Ecuador (Renato Valencia, Nancy Garwood and Margaret Metz), a recently published study in New Phytologist documents the negative effects of warming (increasing nighttime minimum temperatures) and increasing relative humidity on tropical tree flower production.
