This was a great collaboration between many different institutions. I feel I am learning a lot from climate modelers. Thanks Cory, @mark-urban.bsky.social , Lauren, @maitner.bsky.social, Ben, gonzalo, @alexpigot.bsky.social , Chris, Adam,

In 2024, we found 3,500 vertebrate species predicted to have faced unprecedented temperatures. >1,250 already endangered. The window to act is real and monitoring what's going on in the field is crucial. Can we predict 9-months in advance? and in 10-years? more soon

We also highlight the challenges associated with identifying the best-performing algorithm, and show how using ensembles of algorithms varying along a sensitivity-specificity gradient can be used to capture uncertainty in species' ranges or different sampling assumptions.
