I FOUND IT. I once read a great line about how weather station data are only useful for things living on the weather station. I wanted to cite it but could never remember the damn paper! By sheer luck, it found me. From @mikekaspari.bsky.social in @globalchangebio.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2jyd4z72

Absolute pleasure to contribute to this @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social paper out yesterday, cooked up at the Species on the Move (SOTM) Conference in 2023. Takeaway: species on the move under climate change can move along many gradients and dimensions, at multiple scales! doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

Update!! We have extended the deadline to 4th May and we're now inviting applications from anyone working on rewilding in North England or South Scotland. If that sounds like you, please apply to join us in July!
