Interesting work by van der Meersch et al. out in Ecology Letters, nicely illustrating that process-based models are more robust than correlative models for predicting species distributions under novel climatic conditions doi.org/10.1111/ele....
Paleorecords Reveal Biological Mechanisms Crucial for Reliable Species Range Shift Projections Amid Rapid Climate Change
Climate change has created an urgent need for reliable projections of species distributions. By hindcasting forest tree range shifts across Europe over the last 12,000 years, we show that process-exp...

Disequilibrium in plant distributions: Challenges and approaches for species distribution models
Plant distributions are often in disequilibrium with climate, not occupying all suitable habitat and present in conditions that no longer support long-term population persistence. This proves a chall...

Cool new paper br Katherine Nigro and colleagues. 🧪🌎
Key finding: The climatic differences between adults and seedlings are the result of widespread regeneration failures in the hottest portions of species’ ranges

Trailing edge contractions common in interior western US trees under varying disturbances - Nature Climate Change
Climate change and disturbances are changing forest tree composition, but it is not clear if disturbances assist trees in tracking their climate ranges. This study shows that the impact of disturbance...

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

This is so cool - this study used Chinese poetry to reconstruct 1400 years of range change for the Yangtze finless porpoise, and showed that most of the range loss happened in the last century

Looking for a simple way to do #deeplearning in #Rstats? Check out cito, available on #CRAN via cran.r-project.org/web/packages... and presented in this recent Ecography paper nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Cito is an interface to torch for R and supports building and training
