I’m happy to share that I recently joined @paniw.bsky.social at @ebdonana.bsky.social!🌿 The PREDICT project will develop and deploy an open, reusable, interoperable, and scalable cyberinfrastructure (LifeWatch Eric) for biodiversity forecasts, evaluation, and dissemination. 👩‍💻

New paper alert… 🌿🍄🦠 🌡️📖 Our work that explored potential changes in the distributional ranges of both a vulnerable, endemic tree and a newly identified fungal wilt pathogen under future climate change is now out in Landscape Ecology: PDF download: rdcu.be/fh02g Online: lnkd.in/esu-Y5a2

🚨New paper by @annaroennfeldt.bsky.social et al. on climatic niche differences across island regions. Their paper shows plants introduced to the Pacific Islands showed the lowest ratio of niche conservatism. rdcu.be/eYKAq A great start to the new year! 🥳 @zurelllab.bsky.social

A new study in @nature.com shows that abrupt changes to Antarctica’s currents, ice and glaciers are already underway – and likely to significantly intensify in the future, with global impacts for generations to come.🧪🌏 Read more in @theconversation.com 

From sea ice to ocean currents, Antarctica is now undergoing abrupt changes – and we’ll all feel them

The vast ice of Antarctica has long seemed impregnable. But sudden changes are arriving – from shrinking sea ice to melting ice sheets and slowing ocean currents.
