The findings further highlight the importance of integrating ecological and evolutionary perspectives when exploring latitudinal diversity gradients, and show how the choice of phylogeny and species distribution data can shape our understanding of global biodiversity patterns.

Why are Procellariiform seabirds most diverse in the Southern Hemisphere?

Our study found that wind patterns and time since evolutionary origin best explain the extratropical peak in breeding species richness of these remarkable seabirds. 🐦💨

Doing lit review be like:

These habitat preferences are closely linked to the predominant agricultural activity of the study area, which is characterized by a high density of dairy farms for the production of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Shorebird conservation action

We are collating shorebird conservation action that have been undertaken across the East Asia-Australasian Flyway. If you have implemented any shorebird conservation work, we want to hear from you!

As part of the efforts to reach out to non-English language practitioners, we are also in the midst of translating the survey into Bahasa Indonesia, Chinese, and Japanese. So stay tuned to its release if you are a native speaker of any of the three languages.

This project is led by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social, Richard Fuller and myself at the University of Queensland!
