🚨 New open resource for biodiversity & species distribution modelling 🚨

My paper is now published in Diversity and Distributions:

"A global, taxon-stratified, high-resolution sampling-effort dataset from GBIF for bias-aware ecological modelling"

[Manjari Jain @minivets]

Based on our experience and conversation with ecologist in India we wrote an article on establishing a network of field stations with research infrastructure.
We hope, policy makers of Indian ecology & science infrastructure funding will take action towards this. @J_Exp_Biol

The niche concept explains where species can persist—but not always why.

Revisiting old, near forgotten ideas and integrating modern demography, the Demographic Niche Concept provides a process-based foundation for understanding niches and distributions.

📜New Paper📜 in @EcographyJourna

Species distributions aren’t just about where species occur, but how survival, reproduction, and development vary across environments.

We formalise the Demographic Niche Concept to link niche theory and demography.
