The distribution of vertebrate animals redefines temperate and cold climate regions The distribution of vegetation is routinely used to classify climate regions worldwide, yet whether these regions are relevant to other organisms is unknown. Umeå researchers have established climate regions based on vertebrate species' distributions in a new study published in [...]
A Smarter Literature Review with Gabrielle Beans Hive Talk Snippet Gabrielle presented the challenge of how to do a better, unbiased literature review when the literature is over 10,000 scientific articles. The conversation quickly turned to network approaches and some previous work by Icelabbers on tracking the evolution of scientific [...]
