Getty, Emily, Jeremiah, and former UG Kaitlyn were presenting talks and posters at the Bays & Bayous symposium in Mobile this week. It was a great way to showcase some of the awesome work in coastal dunes, deltas, and freshwater streams occurring within the group! It was our first time at this symposium, what a fun conference bringing together scientists, governmental agencies, non-profits, and stakeholders to talk about pressing issues in the northern gulf coast.

Andrew Muehleisen lead a super cool paper that disentangles dispersal from extinction dynamics to understand what processes are driving richness loss in grasslands with nutrient addition. It was super fun to be involved in the formation of this paper and it is great to see it out!
