Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Origins of the Combinatorial Basis of Entropy

open access: yes, 2007
The combinatorial basis of entropy, given by Boltzmann, can be written $H = N^{-1} \ln \mathbb{W}$, where $H$ is the dimensionless entropy, $N$ is the number of entities and $\mathbb{W}$ is number of ways in which a given realization of a system can ...

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Analytical Continuation Approaches to Electronic Transport: The Resonant Level Model

open access: yes, 2012
The analytical continuation average spectrum method (ASM) and maximum entropy (MaxEnt) method are applied to the dynamic response of a noninteracting resonant level model within the framework of the Kubo formula for electric conductivity.

Reviewing and benchmarking ecological modelling practices in the context of land use

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Despite habitat loss and degradation are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss, different conclusions have been drawn about the importance of land‐use or land‐cover (LULC) change for biodiversity. Differences may be due to the difficulty of framing a coherent model design to assess LULC effects.

New Class of Generalized Extensive Entropies for Studying Dynamical Systems in Highly Anisotropic Phase Space

open access: yes, 2013
Starting from the geometrical interpretation of the R\'enyi entropy, we introduce further extensive generalizations and study their properties.

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...
