Welcome! Can’t wait to see all cool posts this semester and definitely get some spring pics from Milne library of the countryside @sunygeneseo.bsky.social

SUNY Geneseo @sunygeneseo.bsky.social · Jan 28

We 💙 our new library.

Check it out in this short video tour.

What do you think?

More #DNA extractions. This time from sites with #ash die off from #EAB #wetlands #ecology

Senior capstone student extracting dna on lab bench

Ash die off area in old forested wetland once called a cedar swamp but no more cedars and mostly dead green ash

I miss my #tropicalstreams! #cerroybytyruzu #paraguay

Enjoying our tropical river, while doing some sampling too. 🧪

I am in ecologist doing genomics and it’s so cool!

Wendy A Owens Rios @wendyhaeco.bsky.social · Dec 9

Semester accomplishments 24 DNA samples, 30 soil samples, 100s of plant diversity plots… more to come. #wetlands #microbes #ecology

So cute!

A teeny tiny little sundew from the kerangas forest of Borneo - Kerangas translates to "the land which cannot grow rice" because of the low nutrient soils - but luckily it is the land that can grow cool carnivorous plants - sundews and Nepenthes!

One thing I love about science now is all the collaborations there are. When I was in school no professors included me in research! Now I include my students on my research and I get coauthorship on several papers that is not my main #ecology discipline.

@SUNYGeneseo students in the field doing ecology research in a created wetland.

The one thing I have really gotten better with since focusing on my #ecology career is photographing #nature. This is from the park behind my house near my research wetlands.

What you all think is best definition of #succession Teaching #ecology and the history is crazy on all different hypotheses and models. Which classic ecology paper would be best to explain and use as a guide in my own research?

Wendy A Owens Rios @wendyhaeco.bsky.social · Nov 16

This summer was my first time LA. Love it! The sun! The ocean! Also learned about new plants that I never seen before. Can’t wait to go back

In this together 💛

I don’t believe in “good” and “bad” plants
“Invasives” don’t mean to take over (huck)
I think of them as excited children (pat pat)
Who just need help remembering to share

What a great 12 hours on @bsky.app so many more interactions than the other platforms. A lot like it was on twitter a few years ago. Love seeing posts about #science #ecology. Planning on reposting my labs instagram and TikTok here. @dirtdiva_lab
