What species and regions experienced no-analogue conditions? How well can we predict them? How often are species hit again and again?

Nature research paper: Warming and cooling catalyse widespread temporal turnover in biodiversity
https://go.nature.com/3WD7cWa
Global-scale analyses of marine, terrestrial and freshwater assemblages found that temporal rates of species replacement were faster in locations with faster temperature change, including warming and cooling, and vulnerable assemblages were especially responsive.
Excited to be in Davos for #WBF2026! And *really* looking forward to this discussion of what to do about the lack of a biodiversity analogue of the World Climate Research Program. Please do come along and contribute - Wednesday, 12:00-13:00, in room Wisshorn! And please pass the word on 😀.
Led by the #EcoCode group of @geobon.org, we call for a World Biodiversity Research Programme to coordinate global modelling and support the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. #GBF #PredictiveModels
