I am delighted to share my first PhD paper! We found that Key Biodiversity Areas cover the distributions of the world’s terrestrial birds excellently, representing 99.7%. #KBAs are incredibly useful for conservation planning and policy. 🧪🦤🦉🌍🌐 conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

🦋 New paper out in @funecology.bsky.social! 🦋 Using the Orange-tip butterfly in the UK🦋, we test a key assumption of many species’ distribution models (SDMs): that climate effects on species’ distributions are equivalent over space🌍 versus time⏰ doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.70005 🧵👇

Extremely frustrating thing which took too long to figure out: If you use geodata::worldclim_tile to download bioclimatic data, the variables are misnamed and in the wrong order. They're labelled BIO1-19, but actually represent BIO1, BIO10, BIO11 (i.e. alphabetically). Left=original. Right=fixed

Jamie Weir has a fascinating paper from his PhD on winter moths just out in Oecologia. In a large feeding experiment he finds that oak is a relatively poor host; a result that makes the large numbers of winter moth we typically find on oak all the harder to explain: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
