1 Introduction

Note: This is the companion website for the manuscript “Joint seasonality in geographic and ecological spaces, illustrated with a partially migratory bird”, from Basille et al., available as a preprint here.

This study will introduce a simple idea, the variation of the climatic niche through time. More precisely, we are investigating how the climatic niche of wood stork changes within the year, following monthly variation in temperature and precipitation. This will be assessed in parallel with the geographical distribution of wood stork through time.

To give some context, here are the movements of a sample of the wood storks through time:
