New study led by Sean McHugh (@phyllurus.bsky.social) now out in @systbiol.bsky.social! Sean's approach models how species gain and lose biome affinities over time, both in terms of where they *do* live (e.g. movement) and where they *could* live (e.g. adaptation) doi.org/10.1093/sysb...
A Phylogenetic Model of Established and Enabled Biome Shifts
Abstract. Where each species actually lives is distinct from where it could potentially survive and persist. This suggests it is important to distinguish e

Very happy to share this new article on Andes-Amazon tree diversity change. We found that over the last 4 decades, tree richness changed differently across the Andes-Amazon regions. Thanks to the many researchers across the world who made this possible! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Keep reading!
Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes. Belen Fadrique leads our analysis in @natecoevo.nature.com w/ 400 plots + 40 years of RAINFOR records. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.
