🚨🚨🚨 NEW PAPER out today in Proc B! @royalsociety Responses of wildlife to climate change are typically quantified at the species level, but are we missing important variation in thermal sensitivity over space (species ranges) and time (seasons)? royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Recent wildlife around Fayetteville Arkansas

Are all birds shrinking with #climatechange? In the mountains of Tanzania we (@mwtingley Bill Newmark) find that birds are actually increasing in body size over almost four decades! Check out our paper in @EcographyJourna (nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wi…) @UCLAEEB @UCLAlifesci

Happy #wrensday

My sex-biased transmission study with @durant_lab is now in issue and on the cover of this month’s @AnimalEcology 📸: @drjerbs

New encounter on the academic job market. Has anyone done one of these "on demand" interviews where you log in, the system asks you questions and it's recorded and the search committee watches later? How was it?

Widespread record temperatures 20C (36F) above average throughout the Northern hemisphere.

RT @pmagn: Its beginning to look a lot like Climate Christmas 😔 Image of the season 🔥

Thinking about supporting artists this year instead of just buying gifts on amazon?? Every year I make wildlife calendars with my photography, and the new batch is in featuring families (in honor of me becoming a dad). They are $20 with free shipping, DM to get one (or more)

What a difference 40 years makes! Tale of two years, both strong El Nino’s. Left: 2023 Sept-Nov departure from normal. Right: 1982 same. You see the 1982 El Niño over the East Trop Pacific, but otherwise the globe is more balanced. That’s how much Earth has warmed in 4 decades!

First theoretical dissection of scale-dependent biodiversity change to its 3 parts a big empirical example. Francois, thanks for all the patience, endless discussions, and hard work, I've learned a lot. Congrats for your 2nd PhD chapter published! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Breaking news! The planet once again touched the 2.0°C barrier for a single day yesterday. On tenterhooks awaiting the definitive graphic from @CopernicusECMWF

New paper out today! Male pathology can drive transmission without sex-based differences in behavior. Congrats @SauerScientist ! @AnimalEcology @UArkResearch besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

6. That's it, that's the tweet.

Bird species' responses to habitat changes vary according to the geographical distribution range and local environmental suitability. See results obtained by a great group of colleagues with 81 Atlantic Forest species in sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

#NewPaperAlert! Stoked to share our pub on the migration phenology of songbirds tracked with the #MotusWTS network as they travel through North America in spring, now published in @AnimalEcology! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… 🧵

Someone casually said to me ‘I think you are focusing on the negatives and not the positives’. Yes, there are some positives but the reality is we are not turning this situation around. People cannot believe that our leaders would be doing so little if it really was that serious. That’s the whole point: people are protesting and going to prison, and scientists are screaming at us to act: because IT IS THAT BAD and none of our leaders are even acknowledging this physical scientific reality: #ClimateEmergency forbes.com/sites/davidrvette…

Playing in water ... aren't deadly heatwaves fun? cnnbrasil.com.br/nacional/se…

I was nervous posting my graphic showing 2.01°C because breaking 2°C is a huge event and I didn't want to get it wrong. Then @LeonSimons8 posted the one below from Nov. 17 showing 2.06°C, and it relieved 100% of the stress. Different data sets, same result. 2°C breached.
