CarniTraits - The Traits of the World's Late Quaternary Terrestrial Mammalian Predators out now in GEB Journal. The dataset features a suite of traits for recently extinct and all extant predators. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

I'm happy and excited to share our latest work with Torsti Shulz and @marjosaastamoinen.bsky.social on Model-based variance partitioning for statistical ecology esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… We present it as a general tool to gain more insight from ecological data. 1/5

Global warming has accelerated, a lot! The first 19 days of 2025 were on average +1.74°C above pre-industrial. That's about 0.1°C warmer than the same period last year. Then we had an El Niño, now a La Niña. x.com/LeonSimons8/st…
