It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

New review by me @r_sarremejane @Judy_E12 et al. is out in WIRES Water. We explore effects of past & future drought on biodiversity in UK rivers. Could increasingly extreme droughts push systems to persistent, species-poor, functionally simplified states? doi.org/10.1002/wat2.1745

The effects of drought on biodiversity in UK river ecosystems: Drying rivers in a wet country

Biodiversity in UK river ecosystems has, to date, proven resilient to drought, with communities recovering within weeks to years. But future droughts could be hotter, drier and more frequent, and...

so happy to share a chapter from my dissertation is out today in @PNASNews showing that historical redlining, a policy that codified segregation & disinvestment in marginalized neighborhoods, shapes contemporary wildlife biodiversity in California (1/2) doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2321441…

Historical redlining is associated with disparities in wildlife biodiversity in four California...

Experimentally manipulating stream flows to simulate future conditions in the US Eastern Sierras allowed researchers to chronicle ecosystem changes under extended low-flow scenarios. One finding of note: expect more midges. In PNAS: ow.ly/z7Sh50R25R5

Does climate change-altered phenology affect ecosystem processes? We found that extended low flows mimicking future flow regimes change the phenology of aquatic invertebrates and the ecosystem processes they control at fine temporal scales. pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pn…

We’re hiring TWO postdocs to work on structured decision making of environmental flow releases to support Rio Grande silvery minnow conservation at NMSU. Please share! Any questions should be sent by email. Full posting & how to apply (deadline 3/10/24): jobs.rwfm.tamu.edu/view-job/…
Postdoc advertisement that states: Structured decision making for environmental flow releases & management options for Rio Grande silvery minnow. Benefits include: $60-67k/year with annual raises & benefits. Funding for conference travel & professional development training. The Lawson & Pregler Labs in the USGS New Mexico Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit and the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Ecology a New Mexico State University invite applications for two postdoctoral researchers beginning summer 2024. These positions will focus on structured decision making for conservation of Rio Grande silvery minnow in New Mexico. The postdocs will (1) co-lead stakeholder workshops, (2) develop a series of predictive decision support tools to inform eflow releases under hydrologic uncertainty, (3) design a monitoring strategy to evaluate effects of decisions. Applications due March 10th 2024. Full announcement: https://www.preglerlab.com/join
