We’ve been documenting how climate change is impacting birds in Amazonia, but this is the first paper to reveal direct negative demographic consequences. Over 27 years, harsher dry seasons slashed survival—up to 63% with just a 1°C rise. #ClimateChange

Excited to share our new paper on occupancy modeling🎉 Movement patterns of your study species interact with survey protocols to affect occupancy estimates, sometimes in counterintuitive ways: @JonathonValente @MethodsEcolEvol #Ecology #OccupancyModels

More shrinking birds in response to climate change and then some—a nicely rounded paper leveraging broadly spatio-temporal MAPS data. Read it!.
🚨 New work out today in @NatureEcoEvo! We show how temperature (🌡) and elevation (🏔) drive the size and shape of birds across North America over the last several decades. #birds #climatechange. 🧵 1/8
