Proximal microclimate: Moving beyond spatiotemporal resolution improves ecological predictions. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 33, e13884.

• In several years of community and scientist observations across six parks in Madagascar, we show that 1) women perform better than men at biodiversity surveys, and 2) amount of formal education is not a strong predictor of success. We discuss how to co-design projects with diverse community partners in an effort towards decoloniality. Klinges senior author.

• Revised Janzen (1967)’s classic “Mountain Passes” hypothesis with a global synthesis (29 mountains) and showed that a mountain’s latitude (tropical vs. temperate) was not important for determining its strength as a climatic barrier; rather local vegetation, snow, and microhabitats were more important.
