New paper from our working group: climate niche modeling of the Pleistocene mammoth steppe. It’s a simple approach of manually defining bioclimatic limits based on modern analogs. But it worked reasonably well.

New from me: documenting a new flea beetle in North America.

(I contributed the distribution modeling, actual entomologists did the insect work!)
