A repo to track version control and changes for project based workflow for meta-analysis of urban connectivity research

A controlled test of whether scale-free downscaled climate data predicts polygon-scale water stress better than coarse climate grids. It was run at two extents, with the satellite monitoring index built after that approach was shown not to work.

As part of a practical ecology course in the first year of biology at the ENS in Lyon, we used recorded strophes from different bird species to reconstruct audio files for broadcast to Eurasian blackcap in order to study their terrotorial behaviour in relation to both conspecific and heterospecific males.
