Super excited to share this work! A fantastic collaboration with @RebeccaASenior Wildlife trade targets colorful birds and threatens the aesthetic value of nature
cell.com
Senior et al. combine data on passerine plumage color with bird trade data, finding that unique coloration—prized by birdwatchers and typical of flagship species—is also associated with trade and...

Wow, my 1st first (author) now out in @ASNAmNat! In our global synthesis, @BrettScheffers and I show the big role that 🌳, ❄️, and microgeography play in creating climate separation on mountains, revisiting Janzen's classic 1967 mountain passes paper: 1/4 https://t.co/yP6itgVsKM

Decoupled erosion of amphibians' phylogenetic and functional diversity due to extinction
onlinelibrary.wiley.com
Aim It has been argued that the loss of phylogenetic diversity (PD) from species extinctions will result in concomitant loss of functional diversity (FD). As a result, species extinction undermines...

Just in time for @SpeciesOnTheMov! A call for us to think proactively about #SpeciesOnTheMove. @CMS_UTas @UTAS_ @IMASUTAS @UF
Interesting perspectives piece by @BrettScheffers & @GrettaPecl on climate-driven redistribution of species around the globe. Species don't wait for policy makers before shifting their distributions, so what are the management & governance consequences? https://t.co/RoNnvSTKbC
