Curious about how evolutionary and ecological pressures, climate and land use changes, affect species’ biogeographical distribution and abundance? Participate in our upcoming LifeWatch ERIC Thematic Service Workshop “Biogeography: Species Assemblages across space and time”, on April 4-5, 2024, in Bologna. The workshop is organised by LifeWatch Italy and intend to explore the role of LifeWatch ERIC in developing a suite of tools and services on data curation, data analysis and modelling to better understand biogeographical gradients in space and time and to model future changes in response to climate change or conservation strategies. | |
