Does anybody know any articles exploring prey (mass) size vs. raptor (predatory bird) body size (mass) allometry? [with presented equations] I mean, across all predatory taxa, or at least covering the whole size range (excluding scavengers).

Very interesting article on the maro- and micro- evolutionary interplay in extinction mechanisms of the gastropods during the Plio-Pleistocene extinction event in the western Atlantic.

What determines the plant species #richness along elevational gradients?
In this latest study, we explored the direct, indirect and interaction effects of environmental variables.π§΅

Setting a good background region for SDM/ENM is tricky when survey effort is heavily biased - which it often is. I've implemented some new approaches in #Rstats package fuzzySim. Anyone up for trying them out? https://modtools.wordpress.com/2024/10/31/delimiting-the-modelling-background-for-scattered-uneven-occurrence-data/ #gis #gischat #ecology #biogeography #macroecology
Happy to share a new paper - "#scaling approaches and #macroecology provide a foundation for assessing ecological #resilience in the #anthropocene We advocate moving beyond qualitative resilience metaphors toward a more quantitative macroecological framework https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.2023.0010 #biodiversity #allometry
The #gfoe offers a #macroecology meeting in Marburg, Germany: June 13/14.

Abstract submission until March 30.
I'm leaving my senior research position at the University of Bern in March. I'm focusing on my consulting. I'm currently open to new environmental #datascience and #editorialservices #freelance work with a focus on #remotesensing, #macroecology, #ecosystems modelling and/or #foodsecurity.
I'm also open to remote work in a fixed-term contract setting up to 50% FTE (EU fiscal basis).
Check https://bluegreenlabs.org for past experiences and projects. Please boost.
This new "temperature range squeeze hypothesis" was supported by a huge, global dataset of plant elevation ranges and has big implications for how we expect species ranges to shift with increasing climate variability caused by climate change.
Here's an interesting preprint on #EcoEvoRxiv (not yet peer reviewed). Its authors use eBird's massive citizen science database to reassess a long held pattern in macroecology, the abundance-occupancy relationship. That says that more widespread species (those with larger ranges) are also typically more abundant, on average. Yet, looking at this big bird dataset, it looks like this is not true. Which is interesting!
Registraion on #IBSPrague2024 workshops is open. There are three one-day worshop. Two are related with species distribution modeling (ecological niche modeling) with 'sdm' and 'Wallace' R packages (led by their creators!), and third is on use of #LiDAR data in biogeography. https://www.biogeography.org/prague2024_home/programme/ #biogeography #macroecology #ecology #WallaceEcoMod #sdm #enm #SpeciesDistributionModeling #EcologicalNicheModeling

Happy to see #BIEN_data used and to be a part of this new #TREECHANGE study on paleo #climatechange legacies in #tree #biodiversity patterns worldwide splendidly led by Wubing Xu - Global beta-diversity of angiosperm trees is shaped by Quaternary climate change https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add8553 #ecology #macroecology
Title is "More than what they eat: uncoupled biophysical constraints underlie geographic patterns of herbivory" with coauthors Jason Fridley and @VVandvik
Also, favorite part of this article was the Cate le Bon quote I got away with including.
