The microbial contribution to macroecology [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 There has been a recent explosion of research within the field of microbial ecology that has been fueled, in part, by methodological improvements that make it feasible to characterize microbial communities to an extent that was inconceivable only a few ...

Macroecological patterns in experimental microbial communities. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyEcology has historically benefited from the characterization of statistical patterns of biodiversity within and across communities, an approach known as macroecology. Within microbial ecology, macroecological approaches have identified universal patterns

Biovera-Epi: A new database on species diversity, community composition and leaf functional traits of vascular epiphytes along gradients of elevation and forest-use intensity in Mexico [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021 This data paper describes a new, comprehensive database (BIOVERA-Epi) on species distributions and leaf functional traits of vascular epiphytes, a poorly studied plant group, along gradients of elevation and forest-use intensity in the central part of ...

BioDinamica: a toolkit for analyses of biodiversity and biogeography on the Dinamica-EGO modelling platform [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Biogeography and macroecology are at the heart of the debate on ecology and evolution. We have developed the BioDinamica package, a suite of user-friendly graphical programs for analysing spatial patterns of biogeography and macroecology.

Game of Tenure: the role of “hidden” citations on researchers’ ranking in Ecology [PDF]
, 2020 Field ecologists and macroecologists often compete for the same grants and academic positions, with the former producing primary data that the latter generally use for model parameterization.

GIFT—An R package to access the Global Inventory of Floras and Traits
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Advancing knowledge of biodiversity requires global open‐access databases. Having large‐scale information on plant distributions, functional traits and evolutionary history will enable the scientific community to improve its understanding of the patterns

Integrating Computational Methods to Investigate the Macroecology of Microbiomes
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Studies in microbiology have long been mostly restricted to small spatial scales. However, recent technological advances, such as new sequencing methodologies, have ushered an era of large-scale sequencing of environmental DNA data from multiple biomes ...
