Just a little bit late.

A just appeared in PNAS is a new paper on control of spread by Dr. Easton White (former student) based on work done at the lab in UC Davis using flour beetles (and models).

Welcome Nathan Maruclis, a new postdoc working on the metacommunity project.  ANd congratulations to Nathan, who just received the award for the outstanding dissertation in the sciences from the University of Alberta!

Bo's paper has been chosen by the Theory Section of ESA as the 2019 Outstanding Paper in Ecological Theory:

Zhang, Bo, Alex Kula, Keenan Mack, Lu Zhai, Arrix Ryce, Wei Ming Ni, Donald DeAngelis, and J. David Van Dyken. "Carrying capacity in a heterogeneous environment with habitat connectivity." Ecology Letters 20, no. 9 (2017): 1118-1128.

Robin Decker has finished her PhD and has started her postdoc at UT Austin.

With Will White and Loo only in spirit at the OUP booth at the annual meeting in Louisville with a proof and a copy of the actual cover for our new book. 

Alan and former lab members Carl Boettiger and Yun Tao presented at this organized oral session organized by former lab member Kim Cuddington at the Annual meeting in Louisville

Bo gave a talk on "The up- vs. downslope shifting wood species under warming climate: A constant pattern of water stress but contrasting one of nutrient stress with elevation"  in Louisville

Annual dinner with current and former lab members at the ESA meeting.  Matching the relatively small meeting the attendance a bit lower than some years, but a good time was had by all.
