As we get into the final parts of the amazing meeting that #TIBS2026 was, a reminder to follow and share the starter pack for ECRs in Biogeography:
go.bsky.app/KvnmdnK
And a reminder to check it again, as we've had many new additions over the conference.
See you all at the dinner!

New paper out! 🐦📊
We realease AVONICHE, a global dataset with detailed information on the proportional use of 32 foraging niches, combining dietary categories with the behaviours and substrates used to access resources.
Openly access the paper and data in GEB: doi.org/10.1111/geb....

Which paleoclimate dataset do you use for your research?
In my latest research, I compared temperature estimates from five well-known paleoclimate datasets to proxy data and found that inter-dataset variability can strongly affect temperature-delimited reconstructions. 🧵

Global variability in LGM cooling amongst paleoclimate datasets affects biome reconstructions in mountains
Downscaled paleoclimate datasets are widely used in biogeographical research, aiding our understanding of past environmental shifts and species’ responses to climate change. Numerous datasets exist, v...

Bye-bye butterflies? Insects are in 'precipitous decline' in Midwest.

Some butterfly species have declined in the Midwest; none has increased, MSU study finds
In the last three decades of data from butterfly counts in the Midwest, none of the butterfly species increased in population. More than 40% declined in number.

First postdoc paper just dropped! Using 50 years of Breeding Bird Survey data, we found that the unexpected functional shifts of bird communities in North America do not track species-level expectations, and these unexpected shifts can be explained by just 5% of “hyper-dominant” species.
