new paper - we analyze blood parasites in 2268 birds sampled over 3000 m of elevation

but I want to talk about this by telling a personal story - about how one morning I woke up on the concrete floor of my hotel room, with no memory of how I got there

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… I hadn’t been drinking. In fact, I had just gotten back to the lowland city of Lae after returning from fieldwork in the New Guinean mountains. It’s not a great place by any stretch of the imagination, but I was excited to be able to go to a grocery store and sleep in a bed

We analyzed 4.4 million @Team_eBird records to find out why tropical birds live in narrow slices of mountainside

You won’t BELIEVE what we found

Out today in #ScienceResearch

w/ @StrimasMackey & @EliotITMiller Image But first the backstory.

As you travel up or down a tropical mountain, you will find very different species in each elevational zone. Way more so than on temperate zone mountains. This species turnover explains why tropical mountains are Earth’s hottest biodiversity hotspots Image
