I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Michael Meyer @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social · Sep 4

Or to quote my favorite line from this piece: “Without an epistemological evolution, the fields of aquatic ecology and water quality management run the risk of developing divergent understandings of ecosystem function.”

Michael Meyer @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social · Sep 4

New paper alert!! Our viewpoint piece uses data from the U.S. EPA National Lakes Assessment + Landsat to see how differing definitions of trophic state can skew and enhance our understanding of lake ecosystems! @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Clarifying the trophic state concept to advance macroscale freshwater science and management

For over a century, ecologists have used the concept of trophic state (TS) to characterize an aquatic ecosystem's biological productivity. However, multiple TS classification schemes, each relying on...

esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com

Michael Meyer @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social · Sep 4

And we highlight how these varying classification schemes can dramatically impact other fields that might be using these limnological ideas, such remote sensing.

Michael Meyer @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social · Sep 4

We also looked at how our understanding of regional water quality can change when you apply different classification schemes at national scales.

Michael Meyer @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social · Sep 4

We recreated figures from Wetzel’s Limnology text to see how fundamental ideas, such as clinograde and orthograde Temperature and DO curves, shake out when you apply various trophic state classification schemes.

It takes patience to have a conversation about definitions as a collaboration begins... but it is important!
"Trophic state" in lakes is one of those concepts! It really makes a difference which definition we use... @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social

Multiple ecology faculty positions at @notredame.bsky.social. Apply at apply.interfolio.com/171650. (1/2). 🌎🌐🧪

Multiple Early Career Faculty Positions in Ecology

The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for multiple, tenure-track assistant professor positions that will enhance existing institutional excellence in ecology. We are searching broadly for creative and collaborative individuals (1) working at any spatial scale, from local to global, in any system, (2) studying any level of biological organization, from genes to ecosystems, and (3) using any mode of inference, from empirical to theoretical. Applicants should demonstrate research excellence that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries; ongoing growth in the department will emphasize new hires that use quantitative and/or integrative approaches to study ecological processes. Postdoctoral experience is desirable in applicants. Successful candidates will engage with and benefit from UNDERC, Notre Dame’s 8000-acre environmental field station and home to NEON’s Great Lakes domain, superb on-campus chemical and genomic analytical facilities, an experimental research facility located close to campus, cross-disciplinary interactions through multiple centers and institutes including the Environmental Change Initiative, and a unique Interdisciplinary Graduate Training Program in Environment and Society. New faculty will benefit from Notre Dame’s recent campus-wide Strategic Framework that included the Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative. Modern research facilities exist in a new environmental research building, which opened in 2025.
