oh btw I think you might find this book I'm putting out next year interesting. You probably already know @mackenziecooley.bsky.social, one of the co-editors.

It's finally coming! I have a chapter on environmental change throughout the Spanish empire in the relaciones corpus here. Get ready to learn about some extinct horses running around Iberia...
