Interdisciplinary graduate program in Ecology (GDPE) at Colorado State University. Come for the science, stay for the community!
This year's Front Range Student Ecology Symposium was another wonderful community-building event filled with exciting research, insightful workshops, and excellent presentations. This event is always a highlight of the year, and it's a joy to connect with so many peers over a shared love of ecology!

Asymmetric sensitivity of boreal forest resilience to forest gain and loss - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Boreal forests have been experiencing both gains and losses in recent decades. Here, the authors show that boreal forest resilience is more sensitive to forest cover losses than to gains, indicating t...

Ecology@CSU went up to Rocky Mountain National Park last weekend, or one of us did, anyway. ;) We saw a weasel!!! OMG the cutest thing ever. White, long tail, black tip. And a woodpecker. Hairy? Tap tap tapping away.

Ecology is a "special academic unit," an SAU as Colorado State University calls them. We cut across multiple colleges and departments. This is great! So much diverse expertise, so many great collaborations and opportunities.
