SDMs are powerful tools, but only if feed them with the right variables (be biologists, not blind programmers!). We show how data dredging approaches relying on the 19 bioclimatic variables can lead to misleading predictions & interpretation. Led by @giordanomancini.bsky.social

Great time last week at the @scbitaly.bsky.social congress on conservation biology in L'Aquila! A super cool congress with a great field trip to Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park :)

Back to yesterday, when we officially kicked off #ECR2025 here in L’Aquila!
President Michela Pacifici and Vice President @lisatedeschi.bsky.social of SCB Italy, together with Michele Lussu from the Secretariat, opened the conference.
Stay tuned! 🌍

In this study, featuring a long list of collaborators from the COST Action ClimBAT, we predict that climate change will reshape European bat communities and functional assemblages 🦇🦇🦇 with potential major consequences for ecosystems. @orlyrazgour.bsky.social

Generation length of the world's amphibians and reptiles Variation in life histories influences demographic processes, from adaptive changes to population declines leading to extinction. Among life history traits, generation length offers a critical featur...

Hey our paper is out on @ecography.bsky.social ! We provided new generation length estimates for the world's amphibians and reptiles!
Many thanks to the sRedList WG @m-dimarco.bsky.social @lsantinieco.bsky.social and others!!

Redirecting

Wildlife hates noisy neighbors as much as I do!
Thrilled to announce my first paper, published online in GECCO! We explore how wildlife adjusts its spatio-temporal niche in the short term, to cope with human presence.

The Neglected Role of Sex‐Biased Dispersal in Range‐Shift Prediction Under Climate Change Studies aimed at estimating species response to climate change generally employ correlative species distribution models (SDMs) coupled with dispersal scenarios. However, dispersal distances are gener...

📢 New in Diversity & Distribution

Ignoring sex-biased dispersal can lead to overestimation of species range shift. Sex-specific dispersal is 🔑 4 modelling species distribution under #climatechange
