A colourful poster titled "Triple threats to tropical biodiversity: predicting the impact of future climate change, disease and deforestation on vulnerable species range dynamics with RangeShiftR"; with five sub-headers with text sections including: 1) Background, 2) Aim, 3) Methods, 4) Results and 5) Discussion. There are five figures, figure 1 is a map of Madagascar, figure 2 is a conceptual diagram of the RangeShiftR modelling framework, figure 3 is a conceptual diagram of model scenario combinations, figure 4 are maps of Madagascar showing habitat suitability of the focal tree and its wilt pathogen, and figure 5 shows a lambda graph describing population growth rates over a 100-year simulation. At the bottom of the poster are references, acknowledgements and credits.

I am happy to share this poster will be displayed at the upcoming Kingston University ECE PGR Conference 2025!
I'd love your feedback, comments and questions 🌍
