The beauty of biophysical models from
#NicheMapR is that they estimate body temperatures at high spatial and temporal resolutions 🌟

In our study, we estimated daily operative body temperature profiles, and measured their proximity to thermal limits

Now that we know the CTmax of 5203 species of amphibians, we can assess their vulnerability to current and future temperatures 🌡️

To do so, we put @unsw.bsky.social's supercomputer to work and ran thousands of biophysical models using
#NicheMapR

A great summary by @nicholaswu.bsky.social on a paper applying #NicheMapR to model climate change impacts on heat stress in frogs globally, led by @patricepottier.bsky.social. Note how different the +2 and +4 warming scenarios. Climate warming impacts on biology are very nonlinear. #UniMelb #ARC

I'm sharing one that an exceptional MSc student led showing how plant growth trajectories, from seeds onward, can be predicted in different microclimates using a theory deeply rooted (sorry) in physics #DEBtheory @juliacon.bsky.social #NicheMapR. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm happy to use my first #Bluesky post to announce that there's now a shiny app for the endotherm model of the #NicheMapR package bioforecasts.science.unimelb.edu.au/app_direct/e...
