Happy to share our new research article in @PaN_BES with @ogaoue! We explain how indigenous people select medicinal plants in West-Africa and suggest new methodological guidance in testing the theory of non- random medicinal plants selection. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…
Congratulations Lou. Thank you for guidance and support over the years! This is often missed but Lou’s mentoring ability and practical support for diversity and inclusion are to be celebrated.
Louis Gross, Professor Emeritus @UTKnoxville, was elected an ESA Fellow for his innovative application of computational methods to a wide range of basic & applied ecological topics - as well as for his leadership at @NIMBioS & UT's Institute for Environmental Modeling #ESA2023
It is wonderful to see such a recognition of the role and value of international research. We need more of this particularly in part of the world where we tend not to include in our research endeavors. Special funding might be necessary for this. Thank you VP @Gretchen_n!

Happy #facultyfriday !! Today we are recognizing Dr. Laura Russo @lrusso08 for her outstanding work with plant-pollinator interactions.
Congrats to @JMoutouama for an excellent exit seminar to @UTK_EEB on the ecological drivers of range limitation in species. His work directly contributed to address the tropical bias in ecology that we always talk about. My lab was lucky to have such a brilliant student for 4 yrs
