Lost or Leading the Way? Rare Birds May Signal Shifting Migration Routes | Newswise Most birders are excited to see and chase vagrants. They represent an unusual occurrence and offer a chance to observe a species outside of its usual range.

Projected climate change and limited dispersal potential threaten the seahorse species Hippocampus hippocampus and Hippocampus guttulatus - Marine Biology Climate change is predicted to drive species redistribution, altering the composition of marine communities and affecting ecosystem functioning. There is increasing evidence that fish distributions fo...

How would estimation of geographic range shifts of marine fishes be different when using occurrence and abundance data? Aim Geographic range shifts are a common species' response to climate change. While occurrence data are commonly used to estimate species' geographical range shifts, ongoing debate suggests that loc...

Interesting read on a core question in species redistribution research: abundance vs. occurrence data. Turns out, the choice really matters – authors show that they lead to different estimates. 🤔 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
