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.

Macroecology for microbiology [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2016 To microbiologists, the term macroecology may conjure iconic images of wildebeests grazing in African savannahs or hummingbirds pollinating flowers in a tropical rain forest. Contrary to what the name implies, macroecology is not the ecological study of macroscopic organisms.

The multidimensionality of soil macroecology [PDF]
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020 AbstractThe recent past has seen a tremendous surge in soil macroecological studies and new insights into the global drivers of one‐quarter of the biodiversity of the Earth. Building on these important developments, a recent paper in Global Ecology and Biogeography outlined promising methods and approaches to advance soil macroecology.

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 ...

The macroecology of landscape ecology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2022 One of landscape ecology's main goals is to unveil how biodiversity is impacted by habitat transformation. However, the discipline suffers from significant context dependency in observed spatial and temporal trends, hindering progress towards understanding the mechanisms driving species declines and preventing the development of accurate estimates of ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Forest canopies play a crucial role in structuring communities of vascular epiphytes by providing substrate for colonization, by locally varying microclimate, and by causing epiphyte mortality due to branch or tree fall.

Nature Communications, 2020 The drivers of genetic diversity (GD) are poorly understood at the global scale. Here the authors show, for terrestrial mammals, that within-species GD covaries with phylogenetic diversity and is higher in locations with more stable past climates.
