Disequilibrium in plant distributions: Challenges and approaches for species distribution models

Plant distributions are often in disequilibrium with climate, not occupying all suitable habitat and present in conditions that no longer support long-term population persistence. This proves a chall...

Wikipedia remains extraordinary in a world full of misinformation. Its rules work, but its information is only as good as what knowledgeable editors provide. Theoretical evolution/ecology/epidemiology/demography people, please sign up for this initiative, where I'll help you learn to edit.

I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Principles of experimental design for ecology and evolution

Here I argue that we do not discuss experimental design, often until it is too late. This editorial seeks to begin a conversation about how and where to replicate appropriately.
