Amazon-wide distribution patterns of understory plants: Effects of soils and changing climate

Distributions of Amazonian plants are poorly known. Here, we analyze to what degree current Amazon-wide species distribution patterns reflect general aspects of the species’ environmental niches, and ...

We are glad to share our new paper where we show how to use macroecological methods to evaluate the effect of pollution, which has been studied by ecotoxicology for decades—hence macroecotoxicology. pubs.acs.org/esthag/artic... @fabrovillalobos.bsky.social @marivcap.bsky.social

Unraveling Contaminant Effects on Biodiversity across Spatial, Temporal, and Biological Scales: The Macroecotoxicology Perspective

Abstract. With the spread of contaminants across the globe, ecosystems are increasingly exposed to pollutants at varying levels of biological organization.

In this new preprint, we call for the formal integration between #Macroecoloy & #Ecotoxicology by providing an operational framework & guidelines to achieve it. Take a look and spread the word! Led my dear friend and colleague @gabrielmoulatlet.bsky.social ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

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.
