Using joint species distribution modelling to identify climatic and non‐climatic drivers of Afrotropical ungulate distributions
The relative importance of the different processes that determine the distribution of species and the assembly of communities is a key question in ecology. The distribution of any individual species ...

Trying to actually to use this account over *the other place*, so here's a plug for my first PhD paper, published a few months ago.
We found evidence that dispersal barriers + species interactions influence species distributions in sub-Saharan ungulates. Give it a read! ⬇️

Personal milestone - submitted my PhD thesis yesterday after three and a half years of study on the ecology and evolution of ungulate communities in Africa 🎉🥳!
Definitely looking forward to enjoying a short break but excited for the viva and (hopefully) a few publications further down the line.

Today we are collecting data for a project on stripes in spiral horned antelope. The skins are rolled up in the collections. We then move them to a side room where @cranstonalex.bsky.social is measuring. Chloe and Hannah are recording. This genus (Tragelaphus) varies a lot in size as you can see!
