Wow, my 1st first (author) now out in @ASNAmNat! In our global synthesis, @BrettScheffers and I show the big role that 🌳, ❄️, and microgeography play in creating climate separation on mountains, revisiting Janzen's classic 1967 mountain passes paper: 1/4 journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10…

Just in time for @SpeciesOnTheMov! A call for us to think proactively about #SpeciesOnTheMove. @CMS_UTas @UTAS_ @IMASUTAS @UF – at Hobart, Tasmania

Interesting perspectives piece by @BrettScheffers & @GrettaPecl on climate-driven redistribution of species around the globe. Species don't wait for policy makers before shifting their distributions, so what are the management & governance consequences? nature.com/articles/s41558-0…
