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...

First postdoc paper just dropped! Using 50 years of Breeding Bird Survey data, we found that the unexpected functional shifts of bird communities in North America do not track species-level expectations, and these unexpected shifts can be explained by just 5% of “hyper-dominant” species.

Quantifying similarity among ecological network is getting feasible to understand assembly processes from communities to species interactions. Upcoming publication using this for African mammal food webs is under revision now. Stay tuned!

Quantifying functionally equivalent species and ecological network dissimilarity with optimal transport distances
Quantifying the structure and dynamics of species interactions in ecological communities is fundamental to studying ecology and evolution. While there are numerous approaches to analysing ecologic...
