I’m also thrilled to announce that I will be starting a faculty position with @centreecomgmt.bsky.social @ U of Guelph this fall!

I will be recruiting students & postdocs for 2026 - please reach out or come find me at #CSEE2025 if you’re interested in theory, global change & fisheries ecology 🐟

✨ The Bernhardt Lab at the University of Guelph is recruiting graduate students for 2026! Join us! We have several fully funded grad positions available ✨

Please spread the word!

#CSEE2025

Also at the poster session, Malo Archambault is presenting on the impact of urbanization on 🌱 taxonomic and functional diversity using a large collection of community surveys from northeastern North America.

He is showing that geographic distance among sites affects the patterns.

At the #CSEE2025 poster session, go and see @sufflox.bsky.social poster on the conservation genetics of Jaccob’s ladder (Polemonium vanbruntiae). 🌱

She’s interested in measuring the extent of clonal structure in population using genomics.

I’ll be at #CSEE2025 talking about patterns of collaboration in the Canadian eco/evo research community 🇨🇦

If you’re a eco/evo prof in Canada, odds are you were one of my data points… so come check it out! Wednesday - 4:30 - Science in action

@csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social

You have to come and see the talk of @jeromeburkiewicz.bsky.social that will test if urbanization affects natural selection by pollinator on flower shape.
#CSEE2025

It is at 11:00 in Rivière Coaticook

Tuesday morning at the #CSEE2025, you don’t want to miss @stephinscience.bsky.social that will be talking about how urbanization structures plant reproductive strategies using an impressive collection of plant community surveys.

🕙 10 am, Rivière Coaticook

I also encourage you to attend the symposium organized by Isaac Eckert: Turning over a new leaf: the rapidly growing role of natural history collections in modern biodiversity science. 🧪
#CSEE2025

Today at the #CSEE2025, I’ll be presenting results from former PhD student Marion Leménager.

She tested the hypothesis that pollination generalists should have greater diversification rates in islands ecosystems. 🧪

Check out this very cool study from our lab on flower adaptation to urban environments!

Huge contribution by @jeromeburkiewicz.bsky.social.

All comments are welcomed on the preprint!

But the most irritating part is announcing “the rebirth of the once extinct dire wolf, the world’s first successfully de-extincted animal”. This is an over statement, to put it mildly. 15 gene edits are clearly not enough to change a gray wolf into a dire wolf, two species that diverged 2.5 mya.

One think I don’t like much is this approach of publishing science in the form of a press release. Science is really cool, but the data is not presented adequately and not available.

Not sure what to think about the efforts to de-extinct dire wolves (and other animals), but I have to say that it is very impressive what science can do!

Who would have thought that this would have been possible only a decade ago!

2/n

Meet Romulus and Remus, two cloned gray wolves that contain 15 gene modifications that have been selected to make them more similar to the dire wolves, a species that has been extinct for > 12,000 years! 🧪

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values
