{"title":"Resolution of Respect: Juan José Armesto, 1953–2024","authors":"Pablo A. Marquet,&nbsp;Scott L. Collins,&nbsp;Steward T. A. Pickett,&nbsp;Olga Barbosa","doi":"10.1002/bes2.2227","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bes2.2227","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Professor Juan José Armesto (Photo 1) passed away on 14 January 2024 in Santiago, Chile, from complications related to COVID-19. He is survived by his partner Marcela Bustamante, daughter Martina, and son Sebastian. Juan was born on 2 March 1953. His early years were spent in Santiago, Chile with his parents, Juan and Luisa Ecar, and two sisters, Bernardita and María Aurora, before the family moved to Iquique, Chile, just a few blocks from the sea. His early interests included creating newspapers and cartoons based on current events, as well as filmmaking. However, his love for nature prevailed. Juan obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Biology in 1977 from the Facultad de Ciencias of the Universidad de Chile where he was inspired by professors Eduardo Fuentes, Claudio Donoso, and especially Humberto Maturana. Shortly thereafter, he was hired as a Lecturer and together with Drs. Mary Kalin and Carolina Villagrán, he helped to establish the Laboratory of Plant Systematics and Ecology at the University of Chile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1980, Juan entered the graduate program in Botany and Plant Physiology at Rutgers University (New Jersey, USA) where he worked under the mentorship of Steward T. A. Pickett studying the mechanisms of oldfield succession. Indeed, he was one of the early leaders in the experimental study of oldfield succession. His dissertation was titled, “Experimental studies of disturbance in oldfield plant communities: implications for species coexistence and succession” (1984). Using a field experiment in two different age oldfields, Juan demonstrated that the effects of disturbance were contingent on the degree of dominance in plant communities, an outcome that is still being observed and debated today. This research occurred right as the disturbance paradigm was transforming notions of stability in community ecology. Juan already had around 30 publications when he started his PhD program. One of us (SLC) recalls one time after Friday afternoon discussions that Juan showed up on Monday morning with the draft of a manuscript that he wrote over the weekend. Not only was Juan a quick writer, STAP considers him to be the best writer among the students he had the pleasure to advise. Not surprisingly, Juan was a highly prolific ecologist eventually authoring/coauthoring more than 200 articles and 12 books, one of which, “Ecología del Agua” in collaboration with Alicia Hoffman, was selected by the Ministry of Education for national distribution in schools and high schools in Chile. This reflects another fundamental aspect of Juan Armesto's career. He worked to bring knowledge from academic research into public education and local communities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juan noted that one of the hallmarks of Professor Maturana's mentoring style was to talk about and argue over concepts and processes in science. Juan's approach to graduate school certainly embodied that mentoring style. Juan, SLC, and STAP spent many afternoons and some evenings in a New Brunswick restaura","PeriodicalId":93418,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America","volume":"106 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bes2.2227","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shark Tooth Forensics is a participatory science project tackling the problem of deciphering the ecology of ancient sharks with assistance from public school students. Traditionally, paleontological data collection protocols use research staff or a cadre of trained volunteers to collect paleontological data, whereas participatory science provides a means to increase the number of people involved in paleontological research. Students contributing to our project search for fossil shark teeth in sediments from various geologic time periods, and measure and record the teeth they discover for accessioning in natural history museums. Statistical analyses reveal that middle school students provide measurements of shark teeth that are indistinguishable from those same measurements taken by research staff. However, it is necessary to collect data from large student populations, ~10–30 students, before obtaining a statistically reliable sample. In addition, we find students are able to recognize shark teeth from a variety of species, not just stereotypical triangular teeth of species like the Great White (<i>Carcharodon carcharias</i>). Teachers can utilize Shark Tooth Forensics curricular activities that use student data in curriculum as a way to gain more personal investment. We estimate over 2,000 students have already participated, and with the potential for this project to last for decades, many thousands more will have the opportunity to discover fossil sharks and reconstruct the lives of these ancient fish.</p>","PeriodicalId":93418,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America","volume":"106 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bes2.2213","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As described in Walter et al. (https://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.4442), evidence shows that temperature and precipitation regimes are shifting across ACG, leading to upslope migration in some taxa, making this elevational gradient an elevator to extinction. Studies like ours to track the ecotone between lowland seasonal tropical dry forests and upland aseasonal wet and cloud forests help identify biological corridors and point to mechanisms driving changes in forest composition and phenology in response to changes in seasonality.
