(21) Klinges, D.H.*, Maclean, I.M.D, Scheffers, B.R. Re-drawing Köppen-Geiger classes using microclimate impacts agriculture, the environment and society. In Press at Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment Preprint available
• Predicted Köppen-Geiger climate class from microclimate globally to show that conventional macroclimate classes are misguided (e.g. “tropical” classes at 50 degrees latitude).

Proximal microclimate: Moving beyond spatiotemporal resolution improves ecological predictions. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 33, e13884. DOI: 10.1111/geb.13884
• Demonstrated via a global synthesis that relevant “microclimate” has more to do with representing the proximal microhabitats for a species than the spatial or temporal resolution of climate data.

• 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.
