Identification of taxa influencing host evolution relies on first describing the wondrous diversity of the microbial world. Relies on first understanding that bodies \u2013 our bodies \u2013 are ecosystems. That our skin, hair, teeth, fingernails, belly buttons, and eyelashes are habitats, niches, and homes. That we are bacteria dividing and dying and metabolizing and colonizing and growing. That we are generations and cycles and revolutions of life and death. That we too, to some distant eye, are microscopic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-A. M.

Like all sea slugs in their clade, they possess finger-like projections along their backs, called cerata, used for respiration. They are neither rare nor readily abundant throughout their range. Unassumingly roving the shallows. Yet, within this temperate climate they are a flash of color. Blue and orange racing stripes run down their bodies otherwise covered in a blaze of orange flames. A delegate from the tropics. Or so it seems. Indeed, these vibrant creatures thrive in these cold waters. Beneath a dock, in rock pools, peeking out during low tide. To the observer keen enough to notice, they are harmless, delicate, luminous beauties. Yet they protect themselves fiercely. They sequester nematocysts, stinging cells, from their anemone prey and save them in their Day-Glo appendages for later use. Deploying their defense when threatened by a predator. Or when scooped from their habitat by a professor. Or when placed in a petri dish, and peered at through a microscope. Or when affronted by a student who is convinced they were mail-ordered from a warm coral reef for lab-demonstration purposes. Not plucked from the icy waters she\u2019s visited her whole life, never knowing such alien beauty was waiting to be noticed. She is transfixed and will be from this point on. Keeping her eyes peeled at every low tide, searching every steel gray tidepool for these fiery slugs now that she knows what she\u2019s looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-H.

For example, body contour feathers, the non-flight feathers that cover bird bodies, serve diverse functions, including waterproofing, protection from UV radiation, microbial defense, thermoregulation, sexual signaling, camouflage, communication, and inspiring awe. Have you ever looked at a feather? I mean, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> looked at a feather? Did you gasp at its exponential branching? At its screams of color and pattern? At how it felt like a soft breeze on your skin? Imagine your body enveloped in its own feathered cloak. Sleek, shining in the sunlight. Would it feel like flying, to grow something so beautiful?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A. M. Hotopp<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Boundary&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meta-ecosystem theory describes how the transfer of material subsidies across ecosystem boundaries affects ecosystem processes and food webs. At the land-sea interface, seaweed acts as a conduit, carrying the nutrients of the ocean upland to the starving beach and well-sated saltmarsh. A host of insects, crustaceans, worms, and creepy crawlies rejoice in these deposits as lifegiving manna in one location, and an embarrassment of riches in the other. Yet are these differences and boundaries so stark? Beach, marsh, seaweed bed, either awash in seawater or sunbaked in alteration. Nutrients swirl between, through, in, out, beyond. A bird may pluck a snack from each. Yet the sparrow nests only in the lush grasses of the marsh, the amphipods hop more abundantly between sand and stranded seaweed in the other. The researcher takes samples of oozing, putrid piles of seaweed from each. Taking her measurements, swatting mosquitoes. Asking herself how such a tidy theory led her to wonder about which ecosystem welcomes this mess of half-rotten, storm-cast seaweed more. Asking how a circuitous idea showed her the simple truth. How waves move across ecosystem boundaries that were never there at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-H. N. Mittelstaedt<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Some Like it Hot<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Describing the role of climate as a biogeographic control on species\u2019 distributions has a long history in the ecological literature and is particularly relevant for accurately defining a species\u2019 ecological niche. As it turns out (and as I\u2019m sure you can relate, reader), finding your niche isn\u2019t always easy. Imagine trying to find someone, or some<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">thing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, else\u2019s. For this, we ecologists should, I suppose, be grateful. The endeavor keeps us employed. A man named Hutchinson had a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hunch<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-inson about how the ecological niche might be structured, in two parts. For a given species, a maple tree for example, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">realized ecological niche<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> represents those climate conditions in which the species can and does survive. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fundamental ecological niche<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, on the other hand, represents those climate conditions in which the species <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">could <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">survive but which are not actively experienced by that species because of dispersal barriers or interactions with competitors or predators that limit its distribution. The realized niche is readily knowable. The fundamental niche is not, usually. And yet, the fundamental niche is, *eh-hem*, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fundamental <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to understanding the breadth of conditions that a species can truly tolerate. As we look towards a future of global change and warming, this becomes essential. Some like it hot. Surely. But probably not <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">too <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hot. And deciphering what exactly <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201ctoo hot\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is, is what might safeguard species.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-B. P. McLaughlin<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Waste<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the past decade, sea star wasting disease (SSWD) has been responsible for the loss of billions of sea stars across 20 species, primarily along the Pacific Coast of North America. The result has been trophic cascades and the loss of ecosystems supporting diverse marine communities. While we increasingly understand its impacts, we forget our role, our contributions, ourselves. You see, we came to this place, and we changed it. Not you or me, but us. We dumped, drained, dug, spilled and took. Man, we took a lot. Man took a lot. We left and returned, at our own convenience, and how perfectly convenient it was. But we never returned empty-handed. We brought back some of our favorite things: oil, gas, minerals, and let them spill across the surface. And in return, dropped the toys we\u2019d tired of down to the depths \u2013 Beanie Babies, BlackBerries, bottles of Banana Boat and Bud Light. Let that sink in. We brought others too. Some just tiny passengers, pathogens. Hitchhikers we picked up at another time and place. Out of sight, out of mind. We left them behind to take up residence in a space they don\u2019t belong. And now it\u2019s sick: a feverish, acidic, watery brine. Its inhabitants wasting away, while we waste time, wondering just how things could have turned out this way<\/span><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-M. B. Prentice<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Trees as They Walk Through Time&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">North American tree species have shifted the position of their geographic ranges an average of 50 km over recent decades. These observed shifts occur in all cardinal directions, failing to conform to conventional expectations of uniform poleward-moving migrations, thought to be instigated by a warming world. We know this because we observe juvenile trees moving away from their parents, the adults. Peering through their young branches, a picture of tomorrow comes into focus. Those that have not conceded to the future, seed the future. Adults encourage their offspring to march on, march along. Through the fruits of their labor. Freed from the flesh, seeds float through the air, glide through the water, sail through the gut of an animal. Land. On the land. In a place of permanence. With conditions they can tolerate. This is how a stationary species migrates, as a new generation. A collective that will grow. A future unfolding. The trees, they\u2019ve done this before. When the world changed then. We\u2019ve found clues of their footsteps past. Microscopic, clandestine clues. Pollen pressed into the sediment, they show us where they\u2019ve been. Granules sealed underground, buried in the muck, compressed by the weight of the world. They wait for the world. To warm, or cool. It\u2019s hard to say. Conditioned on conditions that we\u2019re still trying to work out. Yet, somehow, it\u2019s maybe already too late. For some. For others, they\u2019ll maybe run, flourish across the landscape. We\u2019re not sure, but the trees will tell us, show us, in time. And we can retrace. Because of the clues they\u2019ve left us, about how they\u2019ve walked. About where they\u2019ve been, about where they might be going next.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-B. P.

European starlings, named one of the \u201c100 World\u2019s Worst\u201d invasive species, are who I will practice loving today. To practice loving starlings, there are things I need to relearn. Fascination with iridescence. Close attention to soft warbling. Enchantment with murmuration. There are things I need to unlearn. Non-native. Invasive. Pest. The boxes separating those deserving to live from those deserving to die. I am learning to ask <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">who is non-native and who is invasive, the starlings, or those who released them? <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;I am learning to ask <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">what else were the birds to do when uncaged that day in 1890, but take flight over Central Park? What else but survive and flock together, shine like stars?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Today, as I practice loving starlings, there are things I am relearning.
