Thank you also to @ecography.bsky.social for a wonderful publishing experience.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems Although anthropogenically-induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruption...

I finally published my last dissertation chapter. In many ways, this was the most complicated one. I am very grateful to the team of scientists who went through the 10+ years of grant writing, data collection, analysis and writing with me. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

General laws of biodiversity: Climatic niches predict plant range size and ecological dominance globally | PNAS A longstanding question in ecology asks whether or not species that achieve large geographic ranges also have large climatic niche breadths. Using ...

in "General laws of biodiversity: Climatic niches predict plant range size and ecological dominance globally", we provide key insights into species’ vulnerability to environmental change and the processes that structure biodiversity at global scales.

We are glad to share our recent article pulbished in @pnas.org, where we we demonstrate that plant species that occupy larger geographic ranges tend to have broader climatic niches and are more likely to achieve high local abundances.

Hybrid theory offers new way to model disturbed complex systems Multi-scale complex systems are ubiquitous and also notoriously difficult to model. In disturbed systems, conventional bottom-up or top-down approaches can’t capture the interactions between the...
