Scaling traits and functions: How habitat area shapes the multidimensional nature of functional diversity For over a hundred years, the Species–Area Relationship (SAR) has served as a fundamental concept for understanding changes in species diversity across spatial scales. Often described as […]

Happy to share our new study exploring how different dimensions of functional diversity scale with area and shape community assembly. 🧪🌐🌎 #Ecology #Biodiversity #Biogeography #Conservation #Birds shorturl.at/WkrG5

Fraudulent science is becoming an industry.

Global conflict between shipping and #marine #biodiversity #MarineEcology #Ecology #Conservation #Wildlife #sea #ocean #EnvironmentalImpacts #TransportEcology

As global #shipping expands, our #oceans' #biodiversity faces growing threats. Our new study maps the critical hotspots where #marine #life needs protection from vessels and identifies priority areas for urgent #conservation action. #Ecology #Wildlife #Sea 🧪🌐🌎🌊 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

An invited commentary I wrote for @funecology.bsky.social on a new study using using spatial patterns, traits, environmental preferences, and colonization dynamics to better understand how ecological communities form and respond to change. 🧪🌎🌐 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Reading lists in Ecology – Short Essays Research papers are the "bricks" that build the wall we call “science.” But sometimes we need to look at this “wall” and reflect upon it. This reflection pushes us forward. This is a curated reading list of ecological essays that have stood the test of […]

Another piece from our study on how vehicle- #wildlife collisions ripple through #foodwebs, affecting entire #ecosystems. 🌐🌍🧪 #NetSci #biodiversity #ecology #conservation #RoadEcology

Our new piece shows how the effects of #roads on #biodiversity can extend far beyond the loss of individual #animals or populations, propagating through entire #FoodWebs. 🌐🌎🧪 #RoadEcology #NetSci #biodiversity #ecology #wildlife #conservation #ecology transportecology.info/research/roa... 🌐🌎🧪

Trait-based #ecology has flourished, but key limitations still hinder progress. We identify 8 major shortfalls, from trait definitions 📏 to ecosystem scaling 🔄🌐, and propose paths forward for a more robust and integrative trait-based framework. 📄🔗 doi.org/10.1002/ecm.... @esajournals.bsky.social

Our study on the potential impacts of #coral loss on #fish #fauna along the Brazilian coast was featured in Pesquisa #FAPESP magazine (in 🇵🇹). It explores how #reef degradation could affect #Brazil's #marine #biodiversity. Here is a link to our original paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
