Check out our new paper! I’m so excited to see this work out. Here is a summary of our findings: Resilient landscapes preserve terrestrial biodiversity despite environmental changes. Here, we analyze North American landscape resilience over 20,000 years by examining the residence and recovery times of plant biomes preserved in the fossil pollen record....
SEPL had 3 abstracts accepted to be presented at the International Biogeography Society Conference in Malaga, Spain in January. Yue will be presenting “Climate drives dynamic shifts in vegetation communities over the past 20,000”. Sílvia will be presenting “Changes in North American mammal niche preferences from the late Pleistocene to the present”. Jenny will...
Congratulations to Yue Wang for publishing a paper in Ecology! This work was part of her dissertation, done in Jack William’s Lab at U. Wisconsin....
SEPL was well represented at ESA this year! We gave three talks in three days. Jenny gave a five-minute Inspire talk about using paleontology to inform conservation models on Monday. On Tuesday, Jenny presented current and upcoming work looking at climate connectivity. And on Wednesday, Yue presented her latest research exploring the residence time...
In just a few weeks, Yue Wang will join the lab to begin examining the landscape characteristics of regions that exhibit long periods of community stasis despite global climate change occurring. Welcome to the lab, Yue!...
