Fun to be part of this group laying out a vision for advancing predictive modeling to inform biodiversity conservation.
Without forward-looking models, biodiversity policy risks missing the road to recovery.

This is a devastating loss. Climate.gov is home to the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit, a major resource for local governments and businesses working to understand and prepare for climate risks. Another huge blow to U.S. adaptation capacity (along w/ 6th National Climate Assessment, IRA cuts, etc).

Excited to share our body size findings, based on an amazing historical resource of many thousands of grasshopper specimens and surveys, uncovering ways to anticipate climate change winners and losers. Thanks to lead author Cesar Nufio and many others for so much measuring.
Declining body size is a widely anticipated response to #anthropogenic #ClimateChange, but how general is it? @lbuckley.bsky.social &co use a >50-year study of montane #grasshoppers to show that size shifts depend on both elevation & species’ seasonal timing 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3CEBrF6
