Niche evolution and macroecological consequences of range shifts (biology)
University of Aberdeen
Joined April 2016
I'm really looking forward to all the amazing studies that are going to follow, using this grid to understand fine-scale movements of hummingbirds, flower-piercers, reptiles, amphibians, etc., all in the mosaic Paramo and high-Andes elfin forest mosaic ecosystem of Chingaza.

Back in 2020, Mike Singer, Camille Parmesan, and I showed that (population level) generalism emerges from eco-evolutionary dynamics of range expansion: Now further evidence that range expansion -> generalism, not vice versa:.

As species' poleward range limits expand under climate change, generalists are expected to be better colonists than specialists, extending their ranges faster. This effect of specialization on range...
