Genetic inference of orchid colonization of a Costa Rican lava flow
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1195-1202, November 2023., 2023 A 1992 lava flow provides an excellent opportunity to study patterns of colonization and growth of plant populations on a naturally disturbed site. Plants with wind‐dispersed seeds, such as orchids, are often among the earliest colonists after habitat disturbance.

Validating graph‐based connectivity models with independent presence–absence and genetic data sets
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Habitat connectivity is a key objective of current conservation policies and is commonly modeled by landscape graphs (i.e., sets of habitat patches [nodes] connected by potential dispersal paths [links]). These graphs are often built based on expert opinion or species distribution models (SDMs) and therefore lack empirical validation from data

Automated identification of diverse Neotropical pollen samples using convolutional neural networks
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 2049-2064, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Pollen is used to investigate a diverse range of ecological problems, from identifying plant–pollinator relationships to tracking flowering phenology. Pollen types are identified according to a set of distinctive morphological characters which are understood to capture taxonomic differences and phylogenetic relationships among taxa.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 89, Issue 11, Page 2631-2643, November 2020., 2020 The authors demostrate how climate interacts with local demography to determine population fitness and viability. The mechanistic approach taken allowed us to unravel the cascading effects of the annual fluctuations of a major climatic phenomenon over the Atlantic on the vital rates of a wild bird population, and provided the first evidence of wind as ...

Hyperspectral outcrop models for palaeoseismic studies
The Photogrammetric Record, Volume 34, Issue 168, Page 385-407, December 2019., 2019 To overcome the limitations of the traditional study of palaeoseismic trenches, a new workflow is presented that integrates infrared hyperspectral and photogrammetric data. This method was applied on two palaeoseismic trenches excavated across a post‐glacial fault scarp in northern Finnish Lapland.

adm: An R package for constructing abundance‐based species distribution models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1404-1412, July 2025.Abstract Abundance‐based species distribution models (ADM) correlate species abundance with environmental data to model and project abundance throughout space or time. This promising and still developing technique has gained significant attention in recent years. Here, we present the adm R package developed to support the construction of ADM, including

Island restoration to rebuild seabird populations and amplify coral reef functioning
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Mobile organisms like seabirds can provide important nutrient flows between ecosystems, but this connectivity has been interrupted by the degradation of island ecosystems. Island restoration (via invasive species eradications and the restoration of native vegetation) can reestablish seabird populations and their nutrient transfers between ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.Abstract Conservation translocations are an important conservation tool commonly employed to augment declining or reestablish extirpated populations. One goal of augmentation is to increase genetic diversity and reduce the risk of inbreeding depression (i.e., genetic rescue).

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, April 2024.Abstract Private land protection is an important and growing tool to address biodiversity loss and climate change. Thus, better empirical evidence on the effectiveness of private land protection and organizational practices, such as targeting of lands for protection and choice of protection mechanism (i.e., fee simple land acquisition and conservation ...
