Hottest year in recorded history compounds global biodiversity risks | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… What species and regions experienced no-analogue conditions? How well can we predict them? How often are species hit again and again?

Excited to share our NSF NRT project publication! Over 2+ years of cross-disciplinary collaboration taught us so much and gave us a unique opportunity to grow. Huge thanks to @MarkCUrban and my advisor @AnjiSeth and Guiling Wang for their support throughout this journey. #PhDLife

"My goal was to provide the most up-to-date, transparent, and comprehensive assessment of extinction risk from climate change." @MarkCUrban @uconneeb today.uconn.edu/2024/12/climat…

@ryankatzrosene Go AI! But can I now add the University of Global Studies to my CV ?

7/ The news story claims that the "lead author" was (a very-suspiciously sounding) "Dr. John Doe" from "The University of Global Studies".😂 Dear reader, there is no "University of Global Studies"... and the study, as you saw above, is by Mark C. Urban, not "John Doe"🤨

My Monday Climate Thread™️ today contains TWO interrelated stories: One about how climate change increases the threat of species extinctions on Earth, and another about how AI-hallucinations in science-reporting are misinforming people... THREAD🧵

Climate change is happening worldwide, but the Arctic provides an unusually rich and diverse environment to study its effects. Enter: the Evolving Meta-Ecosystems (EvoME) Institute. @MarkCUrban #NSFfunded today.uconn.edu/2024/05/arctic…

Study led @MarkCUrban with Luc De Meester @LeibnizIGB in Nature Climate Change shows how interactions between #ClimateChange and #urbanisation affect #biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics and how this knowledge can inform urban planning 👉 igb-berlin.de/en/news/better…

Urbanization & climate change are reshaping ecosystems' adaptive capacity, by altering eco-evolutionary dynamics. @evo_urban's new paper nature.com/articles/s4155… led by @MarkCUrban proposes a framework to understand their joint effects & calls for integrated strategies to protect biodiversity. Congrats to all co-authors for a wonderful collaboration! @KristienBrans @LucDeMeester @Zhou_HKU @TheRealVerrelli @MartaSzulkin @chloology @AmyMSavage @palaeotropics @ruth_rivkin @EricPalkovacs @urbanevol @Anna_Malesis @drnyc_awe @photopidge @ColinGarroway @sarah_e_diamond @DrSimoneDr @AnneCharmantier #NSF #UWBuiltEnv

@JMJTravis Happy Birthday!

The eventual end article for a special issue on climate change adaptation in @EvolLetters When and how can we predict adaptive responses to climate change? Our conclusion: difficult, but not impossible! academic.oup.com/evlett/article…

A fireside chat about global biodiversity models #geobon2023

@Scarpa_Alice @JMJTravis @BocediGreta @Lancaster_LT @tomezard It’s been a pleasure to work with you!

⁦@ZurellLab⁩ introducing our Eco Code initiative - check it out and join us! geobon.org/ecocode-modell…

Excited to share 70+ coauthored Comment @NatureEcoEvo A global #biodiversity observing system to unite monitoring and guide action Read it here 👇 nature.com/articles/s4155… Press release 👇: geobon.org/gbios-a-global…

🚨New article on #GBiOS "A global biodiversity observing system to unite monitoring and guide action" published in @NatureEcoEvo GBiOS combines global collaboration, tech & data to monitor biodiversity change & target action in support of the #KMGBF 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s41559…

Excited to start my @LeverhulmeTrust visiting professorship at @aberdeenuni with @JMJTravis and @BocediGreta

New Review article: @ecolforecaster and colleagues discuss how to combine statistical and mechanistic approaches for more biologically-informed projections of biodiversity responses to climate variability and extremes journals.plos.org/climate/articl…

@JanaIsanta @LynnGovaert4 @Matt_Sasaki Thanks for inviting me and great job organizing the symposium. Lots of resilience in nature to understand.

To translate data into action, we need data synthesis, uncertainty estimation & trend detection. This session will cover advances in #biodiversity modeling, challenges & new opportunities in artificial intelligence #AI. Submit abstracts 👉 bit.ly/nH4sjl #GEOBONconf2023

@oldenfish Almost as beautiful as a Hess sampler
