Study area shape matters when tracking species range shifts & we may underestimate longitudinal range shifts to the benefit of latitudinal range shifts, potentially undermining drivers other than T°C 🌡

Great looking PhD offer with @laurajanegraham.bsky.social assessing the importance of Miyawaki ‘Tiny forests’ for biodiversity. There's a paper due out soon in @jappliedecology.bsky.social that calls for more robust assessments of the Miyawaki method, so good to see projects aiming to fill this gap!

I am recruiting one or two new Ph.D. students to work on theory and its integration with data in the areas of forest dynamics, species coexistence, or plant community ecology more generally.

🌎 Experiments are central to understanding community dynamics, yet their use is declining.
We're trying to understand why.
If you work in community ecology, we'd really appreciate your input in a quick survey (<5 mins).
