New paper out on the dangers of using patterns across spatial climate gradients to predict what will happen with changing climate. That includes species distribution modeling. Space-for-time substitution can be misleading in sign, not just the magnitude of effects. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🦋 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 🧵👇

Very excited to say that earlier this month I passed my PhD viva! 🦋👩‍💻 Thanks to @lancasterlt.bsky.social and Jarrod Hadfield for a really interesting discussion, and of course to @allyphillimore.bsky.social for being the most wonderful supervisor! #PhDone

Fantastic talks from my lab mates @ilarialonero.bsky.social and Megan Stamp 🐦🐛 #BES2024

Excited to present my PhD research at #BES2024 today! 🌾Join me at 16:00 in Auditorium 1C as I dive into how species turnover and intraspecific trait plasticity shape grass community responses to grazing. See you there!
