DEC: Thanks to the lab for helping make our holiday party awesome! And especially for the very successful lab toy drive. See the latest lab photos (of the Space Cadottes!)

Oct: Congrats to Caroline for her paper published online at Ecography!

Sep: Our paper on using functional diversity for understanding the consequences of diversity change is now published in J. Applied Ecology (and it is freely available). Way to go Nick and Kelly!

Aug: A great ESA meeting! But also someone let us know that one of our papers was in the top ten most read at Ecology Letters for 2010!

Aug: The Cadotte lab is off to the ESA meeting in Texas!

July: Look for a review paper by Kelly, Nick and Marc on the importance of functional diversity for ecology and conservation in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Applied Ecology.

June: See Marc's interview in Science Magazine on Lin Jiang's evolutionary history-competition experiment in Ecology Letters.

May: Check out the latest article published in PloS ONE by Marc and Sharon Strauss on phylogenetic patterns of invasion and extinction.

April: A paper on phylogenetic patterns of colonization and extinction by Marc and Sharon Strauss was just accepted by PLoS ONE. (see Publications)

March: NSERC hat trick! Nick Mirotchnick was awarded an NSERC PGS-D, Kelly Carscadden (who'll be joining the lab in September as a PhD student) received an NSERC CGS-M, and Marc was awarded a generous 5-year operating grant by NSERC.

Feb: A group paper by Massol et al. on meta-ecosystems is now available online early at Ecology Letters. Plus it is open access. (see also Publications)

Jan: Look for the latest lab publication, a collaborative paper to be published in Ecology on incorporating phylogenetic distances into mechanistic biodiversity-ecosystem function models (see publications)
