And there she goes! Only a couple of weeks after landing in Panama, Kelsey is busy with field work, collecting tadpoles for her experiment, checking for Bd in the water of streams in a Park...and swabbing adults for Bd. So much done is so little time!

Breaking the Rules

11/29/2022

 
Very exited to see this paper published, and grateful to work with great collaborators on this project. Link Olson and I argued years ago that one could use the past to predict the future response of species to climate warming. 16 years later, not only are we breaking the rules, but we also report for the first time the reversal of the rules of body size variation in mammals.
