The Manufactured Ecosystems team
Can technology replace ecosystem services?🐝
A team led by Dr. Shoshanah Jacobs @integrativebiology.bsky.social analyzed 35,000 biomimetic-focused articles to find out.
The answer? Partially, and not without risk. Conservation remains essential.

New paper out today in Ecology, led by amazing undergrad Kayley Breslin! We show how higher temperatures cause faster range expansions in our flour beetle model system, driven by both faster growth rates and increased movement @integrativebiology.bsky.social dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

Dr. Josef Ackerman holds freshwater mussels
A study by Stephanie Smodis & Dr. Josef Ackerman @integrativebiology.bsky.social has revealed an unexpected survival strategy in freshwater mussels.
They found that mussels seem to time larval release to match host fish activity & reduce competition for resources.

We’ve inherited a great collection of aquatic inverts from a friend, and colleague Gerry Mackie. It represents decades of curiosity, care, and commitment to teaching and learning. I hope it will spark the same sense of wonder that Gerry shared so generously! @integrativebiology.bsky.social
