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

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

[UConn Research @UConnResearch]

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

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 👉

Urbanization & climate change are reshaping ecosystems' adaptive capacity, by altering eco-evolutionary dynamics. @evo_urban's new paper https://t.co/51jAXptaCC 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!

[Mark C. Urban @MarkCUrban]

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!

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

[PLOS Climate @PLOSClimate]

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

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

[GEO BON @GEOBON_org]

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.
