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/...

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. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

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.

Some press about the article from the Santa Fe Institute here: www.santafe.edu/news-center/...

New article out today in PNAS: "Dynamical theory of complex systems with two-way micro–macro causation" with John Harte, Micah Brush, and a talented undergrad, Pranav Muralikrishnan. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
