    New publication: How more than a century of climate change affected Joshua tree flowering

    ByJB Yoder 5 August, 202421 January, 2025

    More than a century ago, in mid-June 1924, the Los Angeles Times devoted a photo spread and several column inches to the second-hand vacation story of some “Cadillac tourists” who saw Joshua trees bearing fruit. It meant, the Times reported, that rain was coming. M.C. Ellison of Sacramento, who has been touring Southern California in…

    New publication: An “unprecedented” map of Joshua tree populations

    ByJB Yoder 14 December, 202314 December, 2023

    One of the biggest challenges for studying biodiversity is answering a seemingly simple question, where does this species live? If we know where a species occurs, we can describe the habitat that it needs, assess how large and stable its populations are, and make informed predictions about what will happen to those populations if we…

    New publication: Navigating conservation challenges in the Mojave Desert

    ByJB Yoder 1 December, 20222 December, 2022

    The Mojave Desert, home to the lab’s favorite woody monocot (Joshua tree), encompasses some of the largest tracts of undeveloped land in the continental United States. That wilderness is under increasing pressure from suburban sprawl as climate change threatens to make its desert landscapes even less hospitable to the thousands of unique native plant and…

    New publication: Finding a population genetic fingerprint of coevolution

    ByJB Yoder 19 September, 20221 December, 2022

    A new paper from the lab — coauthored with all three of the Yoder Lab’s graduate student alumni — is now online ahead of print in the journal Evolution Letters. In it, we analyze population genetic data from 20 pairs of plants and herbivores, parasites, and mutualists that live intimately on those plants to test for evidence that the associate species’…

    New publication: A career cost for LGBTQ researchers who can’t come out at work

    ByJB Yoder 2 March, 20221 December, 2022

    Queer scientists who don’t feel able to openly express their minority identities in the workplace pay a cost in research productivity, according to results of a new Queer in STEM study, which is now online at PLOS ONE. This new paper, coauthored by Joey Nelson and Allison Mattheis, presents analysis of responses to the Queer…
