Excited to share our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com We synthesize causal discovery & inference approaches across traditions (regression adjustment, quasi-expts, SEMs, Granger causality, convergent cross-mapping, and more) into a unified workflow for ecologists. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Best practices for moving from correlation to causation in ecological research - Nature Communications

Different scientific traditions offer seemingly disparate approaches to inferring causal relationships in ecological systems. This Perspective unifies the causal assumptions and methods from...

In situ diversification and immigration are the main sources of species diversity at the assemblage level. Find here how to quantify their importance. Brilliantly led by @avrodrigues.bsky.social, and co-authored by Gabriel Nakamura and me. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level

Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed meth...

The last paper of my PhD is out! Together with @duarteldas.bsky.social and Gabriel Nakamura, we investigated how in situ diversification and lineage dispersal have shaped assemblage level diversity in the Atlantic Forest. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Online now: Taxonomic uncertainty: causes, consequences, and metrics

Taxonomic uncertainty: causes, consequences, and metrics

Taxonomic uncertainty is prevalent across many biological groups. Yet, it remains overlooked in ecology, evolution, and conservation, leading to potential misinterpretations of biodiversity patterns. Here, we argue that this uncertainty emerges from the interaction between biological processes shaping natural lineages and human efforts to name and classify them. Based on this, we propose a set of metrics to quantify confidence in species boundaries and to track the history of taxonomic change and stability. We show how these metrics can be embedded into biodiversity analyses, from mapping uncertainty across taxa and geographic regions to assigning weights to species and deriving more realistic error ranges in ecological models. Making taxonomic uncertainty explicit advances biodiversity science and strengthens conservation decisions.

🚨 New paper out in Ecology Letters! 🚨 1/ Together with Tuuli Rissanen and an amazing team at @rececochange.bsky.social, we show that functional traits mediate biodiversity-stability relationships in natural communities. 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Cross‐Taxa Analysis of Long‐Term Data Reveals a Positive Biodiversity‐Stability Relationship With Taxon‐Specific Mechanistic Underpinning

We investigate the relationship between biodiversity and stability in real-world communities, examining if this relationship and its underlying mechanisms differ among various taxa. We utilise six lo...
