How do temperature regimes shape trait diversity in communities? Does variability promote more specialists or more generalists?
Our new Nature Communications paper tackles this with eco-evo simulations + 653 moth species across latitudinal and elevational gradients.

Warmer environments harbor greater thermal trait diversity in moth assemblages - Nature Communications
Climate limits where insects can live and which species can coexist. Using thermal tolerances of 653 moths on Asian mountains, this study shows warmer temperatures broaden thermal tolerance traits div...

Models linking species diversity with ecological stability may not be as straightforward as we thought! Amazing talk

Excited to see our latest work published on GEB! We comprehensively compared various environmental predictability measures, their impact on statistical analyses and their global patterns 🤩
what is environmental variability and how can you measure it? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @mingpapilio.bsky.social
Environmental Predictability in Phylogenetic Comparative Analysis: How to Measure It and Does It Matter?
Aim Abiotic environmental conditions shape ecological and evolutionary processes, yet quantifying their influence on organisms remains challenging due to variation among metrics and their intercorre...
