BES Macro is now (finally) on Bluesky! Follow us for macroecology/macroevolution-related posts (and news about #BESMacro, the best conference in town 😂).
Advert for Richard Duncan’s work on dung beetles - keep an eye out for another paper on this on its way. #BESMacro

Tittensor's mechanistic model of macroecology. Arguably getting lat. richness grad’t is ground truthing: what else can it predict? #BESMacro
Pointy birds are pointy, pointy.

.@hannah_wht giving the #BESMacro student plenary unpacking drivers of taxonomic and functional diversity in British birds. Great talk!
First time I’ve ever seen a speaker chased off stage #BESMacro (dragged off yes, but never chased off).
Marcia Barbosa revisiting SDMs years later to assess how well they predict new records. Finally proper tests of model predictions! #BESMacro
How might we estimate the unknown unknowns? @AmyZanne #BESMacro
Nice talk by @AmyZanne on what we don’t know about plant diversity (i.e. most of it.) But great advance that we can say even that #BESMacro
Interesting how poor information on distributions can be, even for well-studied groups like birds. @BoakesE #BESMacro
Gutted to be missing #BESmacro. Lots of tweets please everyone! And photos!
After 1.1 talks in #besmacro, feeling proud of our hindcasted stochastic process models of community shifts http://ow.ly/o5jh5 #INT13
