Temporal Altitudinal Biogeographic Shifts (tabs): R package for reconstructing biogeographic shifts in terrestrial and marine systems over time

Past climate fluctuations have profoundly influenced the global distribution of biomes, ecosystems and species, altering their altitude, spatial configuration, area, and connectivity. Notable examples...

New R-package alert! 🚨

With tabs it has never been easier to reconstruct altitudinal shifts of biogeographical systems over time. Whether in the ocean 🏝️, shallow seas 🪸 or mountains ⛰️; tabs can project spatial configurations shaped by climatic conditions.

Which paleoclimate dataset do you use for your research?

In my latest research, I compared temperature estimates from five well-known paleoclimate datasets to proxy data and found that inter-dataset variability can strongly affect temperature-delimited reconstructions. 🧵

Global variability in LGM cooling amongst paleoclimate datasets affects biome reconstructions in mountains

Downscaled paleoclimate datasets are widely used in biogeographical research, aiding our understanding of past environmental shifts and species’ responses to climate change. Numerous datasets exist, v...
