BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene
Dornelas, Maria; Antão, Laura H.; Moyes, Faye; Bates, Amanda E.; Magurran, Anne E.; Adam, Dušan; Akhmetzhanova, Asem A.; Appeltans, WardMotivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community-led open-source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analy...
Cetacean range and climate in the eastern North Atlantic: future predictions an...
Lambert, Emily; Pierce, Graham J.; Hall, Karen; Brereton, Tom; Dunn, Timothy E.; Wall, Dave; Jepson, Paul D.; Deaville, Rob; Macleod, Colin D.There is increasing evidence that the distributions of a large number of species are shifting with global climate change as they track changing surface temperatures that define their thermal niche. Modelling efforts to predict species distributions under future climates have increased with concern about the overall impact of these distribution shifts on species ecology, and especially where barriers to dispersa...
