If I can't measure that it works, I don't ship it. The rule holds for everything here: engineering systems, peer-reviewed research and practice labs. Filter by type, or browse them all, newest first.

    Seasonal altitudinal migration in rainforest birds

    16 years of counts showed rainforest birds shifting uphill each summer and back each winter, the first system-wide measure of partial altitudinal migration.

    Forest gap effects on tropical birds

    Forest gaps reshaped bird assemblages across 1,148 captures of 81 species, while total abundance stayed level between gaps and closed canopy.

    Physiological stress and rainforest mammal declines

    A model chain from microclimate to physiology to demography showed heat stress and foraging limits driving possum declines, species by species.

    Climate, foliage chemistry and herbivory

    Hierarchical models traced climate and geology through soil and leaf chemistry to herbivory. Single soil nutrients predicted little once geology was controlled.

    Climatic drivers of rainforest bird change

    Warming and shifting rainfall drove opposite trends in lowland and upland birds across 47 species. Cyclones and droughts had only marginal effects.

    Ringtail possum viability forecast

    A hierarchical Bayesian model on 30 years of surveys forecast possum collapse by 2050. It fed a national protection nomination.

    Community reshuffling under elevational shifts

    Simulated uphill shifts of 7,613 assemblages predicted mass local extinctions of upland species, mapping the escalator to extinction along the elevational gradient.

    Rainforest bird declines

    17 years of bird monitoring showed upland populations nearly halving. The evidence supported protection nominations for 14 rainforest species.

    Predicting abundance from environmental suitability

    An ensemble of 9 algorithms predicted local abundance from environmental suitability, explaining 55% of deviance on average across 50 rainforest species.
