Come to see the first results of my PhD research at TIBS 2026 in Aarhus! I'll be presenting a new SDM framework for freshwater biodiversity—combining Mediterranean ideas with Danish air. Join me Jan 9 at 11:25 in Auditorium 5.
Looking forward to warm chats over coffee in the chill. See u there! ☕❄️

A great week with young and senior scientists across the globe on the development and application of species niche models across realms, space and time. Until we meet again.
The 2025 edition of the SDM course marked the 10th anniversary of this event. It was a real pleasure to engage once again with high-level students, postdocs and senior professionals during this immersive seven-day exploration of the geography of species distributions and interactions.
