Great time at U.Maine visiting former PhD advisor Brian McGill and presenting my work to the School of Biology and Ecology. It’s nice when a PI studying animal metabolism says they can relate to your findings on plant traits!

I was honored to present my research at the Centre d’Étude de la Forêt at the Université du Québec à Montréal. I did my BSc at UQÀM, so it was meaningful to now come back as a prof. Thanks UQÀM and Dan Kneeshaw for setting me up for success on this path.

Our new paper is out in AJB!We find that the intraspecific integration patterns of 24 coexisting temperate tree species are very different from each other (and we don’t know why) – except for a consistent relationships between LMA and WUE. DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1146
