Leadership and team cards, board and founding prose, an AI persona modelled on a
named individual, contributor and partner entries, and personal correspondence
addresses all named one person. The organisation carries them now.

Other people keep their names. Where a card, a board list or a founding line
named someone else alongside, they stay exactly as they were; only the one entry
was removed, and prose that listed two names now reads with one.

Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use
elsewhere, so the IAM username defect the notes describe still reads as written.
The zoo/yapp MIT notice names the foundation that publishes it.

\begin{abstract}
\noindent
Predicting how species distributions shift under climate change is among
the most consequential challenges in conservation biology. Classical
species distribution models (SDMs) rely on correlative relationships
between occurrence records and bioclimatic variables, yet they often fail
to capture complex, non-linear habitat dependencies and spatial
autocorrelation. We present \textbf{HabitatNet}, a graph neural network
framework for species distribution modeling that jointly models habitat
suitability, landscape connectivity, and migration corridors under
projected climate scenarios. HabitatNet operates on a spatial graph
representation where nodes encode local environmental features and edges
capture dispersal potential. We integrate Shared Socioeconomic Pathway
(SSP) climate projections from CMIP6 to forecast range shifts through
2100. Evaluated on 847 terrestrial vertebrate species across six
biogeographic realms, HabitatNet achieves a mean AUC of 0.943 and
outperforms MaxEnt, random forests, and standard neural SDMs by
8--14\% on held-out temporal validation sets. The framework identifies
critical connectivity bottlenecks and proposes optimal corridor
placements, directly informing conservation prioritization. All models,
data pipelines, and results are released under open licenses through the
Zoo Open Science Network.
