📢New paper!! 📢using #BioTIME #timeseries we showed that faster rates of #turnover in community composition were associated with faster rates of #temperature #change across biomes, for both cooling & warming + microclimate availability & human impacts modulate these responses

Don't know where to start? Don't worry!

We have developed an R package to get you started. #BioTIMEr now provides tools to interact with the database and some useful tips and examples.

Our website is also getting an uplift in the upcoming days, so stay tuned!

While 'flashy' papers are great, analyses are ephemeral. It's the data, its preservation and organization that will persist. Honored to be involved with this amazing team on what I think are some of the most important biodiversity data out there. BioTime v 2.0.
