Climate, ecological dynamics, and the seasonal distribution of birds in mountains Ecological dynamics related to energy use and competition drives the seasonal distribution of birds in mountains across the world.

Why is there such variation in the birds encountered as you go up or down a mountain? New paper in #ScienceAdvances examines how climate and ecological interactions drive bird distributions in mountains throughout the year:

The Knowth Macehead on display in the National Museum of Ireland. It is a small, rounded piece of flint. Variegated in colour between brown, beige and a greyish tint. It is decorated with megalithic art.

The Knowth Macehead • c.3300-2800 BC

It has been described as one of the greatest surviving artworks from Neolithic Europe.

All six sides of the flint macehead are delicately decorated. From this view, it appears like a human face, with the hole for the shaft as a mouth.

White and yellow text on green background. The background image shows a person wading through flood water. The text read "One-third of present-day sea level rise can be traced to the 122 largest fossil fuel and cement producers. Climate change is no accident. Make polluters pay." Below is the Union of Concerned Scientists logo.
