Overlooked due to the orang paper in the Journal of Biogeography is a simulation of the effects of global warming on Bigfoot distributions. It turns out that Sasquatch will become more widespread due to global warming…
Late note: John Dennehy also has a nice piece on this paper.
Ahh, brilliant! I’m doing some ENM as part of my PhD. Am drafting a paper at the moment using some of the same tools as used in this paper. This will join the reference list
I call shenanigans! Surely Bigfoot is cold-weather adapted and therefore its range would shrink. Amiright?
Surely Bigfoot is cold-weather adapted …
Trust a scientist to spoil the fun
Black bears and Kodiak bears are similar in ecotype, I think. They have a fairly extensive range, don’t they?
[Unspoiling the fun]
Actually, rainfall appears to be a more critical parameter in the model than does temperature!
