Quantifying functionally equivalent species and ecological network dissimilarity with optimal transport distances

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 301-321, February 2026.
Abstract Quantifying the structure and dynamics of species interactions in ecological communities is fundamental to studying ecology and evolution. While there are numerous approaches to analysing ecological networks, there is not yet an approach that can (1) quantify dissimilarity in the global structure of ecological networks that range from ...

Optimal 1-Wasserstein distance for WGANs

open access: yesBernoulli
The mathematical forces at work behind Generative Adversarial Networks raise challenging theoretical issues. Motivated by the important question of characterizing the geometrical properties of the generated distributions, we provide a thorough analysis of Wasserstein GANs (WGANs) in both the finite sample and asymptotic regimes.

Leveraging machine learning and accelerometry to classify animal behaviours with uncertainty

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 567-584, February 2026.
Abstract Animal‐worn sensors have revolutionised the study of animal behaviour and ecology. Accelerometers, which measure changes in acceleration across planes of movement, are increasingly being used in conjunction with machine learning models to classify animal behaviours across taxa and research questions.

A View on Optimal Transport from Noncommutative Geometry

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2010
We discuss the relation between the Wasserstein distance of order 1 between probability distributions on a metric space, arising in the study of Monge-Kantorovich transport problem, and the spectral distance of noncommutative geometry.

Effect sizes for experimental research

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Volume 79, Issue 1, Page 31-45, February 2026.
Abstract Good scientific practice requires that the reporting of the statistical analysis of experiments should include estimates of effect size as well as the results of tests of statistical significance. Good statistical practice requires that effect size estimates be reported along with some indication of their statistical uncertainty, such as a ...

Sharp asymptotic and finite-sample rates of convergence of empirical measures in Wasserstein distance

open access: yes, 2017
The Wasserstein distance between two probability measures on a metric space is a measure of closeness with applications in statistics, probability, and machine learning.

Large‐Scale Forest Restoration Accompanied by Biodiversity Recovery in Costa Rica's Redistributive Payment for Ecosystem Service Program

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
Transforming recorded sound into meaningful ecological insights requires carefully designed methodologies. This workflow diagram describes the steps of our analysis (contained within circles labeled 1–7), which builds on best practices to correct for potential biases.
